View 2 RepliesI am designing a site with that requires users to login in to access info. How do I save the user name and password in viewstate or session. so I can use it in other pages later.
View 2 RepliesI have a custom mini login user control that I have embedded in the top of my website which shows on every page. These pages are non-secure HTTP://. I would like to avoid having to redirect the user to a HTTPS page to perform the login but I definitely don't want to send login credentials to the server in plain text.
I am trying find a method to send the user's login credentials encrypted via https from a non-secure (http) page.
I tried to set the postbackurl for the login button to itself but in https, but the user's input is not retained and the buttonLogin_click is not fired when I set the button postbackurl property. My ASP.net web application is VB.Net framework 4.0
I am assuming this can be done because I see lots of websites where login fields are on available on every page and they are running http and I can believe they are not encrypting the login credentials.

Password incorrect or New Password invalid. New Password length minimum: 7. Non-alphanumeric characters required: 1.
I am currently writing a gridview to an excel file, but i cant make it password protected (or the password is too easy to break).
Is there another file type that i can write the gridview data to which can be securely password protected at the same time?
I am going to be emailing this file, and i want the end user to have to type in a password to open it.
my current code:
Response.Clear();
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=FileName.xls");
Response.Charset = "";
Response.ContentType = "donedeals/vnd.xls";
System.IO.StringWriter stringWrite = new System.IO.StringWriter();
System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter htmlWrite = new HtmlTextWriter(stringWrite);
GridView1.RenderControl(htmlWrite);
Response.Write(stringWrite.ToString());
Response.End();
I am using Forms Authentication in a new ASP.NET 3.5 Application.I have created the Tables in my database and run the Web Site Administration Too.When I try to create a user I get a password error no matter what I throw at it and I am becoming sure of that this is a symptom of an a setup error and not a password problem.One of the things that I notice is that my aspnet_Applications is empty and I am not sure what is supposed to fill it.I have tried to delete all the aspnet tables and done the procedure again but with the same result.

View 8 RepliesI had been trying to solve this but there is a hidden key i wish someone point me to.
I had a simple membership database with users in first the Membership Provider configured for clear password to retrieve the original password .
Now a new requirement say that the password must be hashed and reset .
I configure the Membership password to hash , and Implemented the Reset Password Module.
My problem is as follow.
If the user is new registered user with the new configuration the password and the security answer is hashed.
also when I go and reset the password it continue to be hashed.
Now I thought that with new configuration if any previous user with clear text configuration , If he use the password Reset module , because my configuration now is hashed , I expected that the new password and security answer will be hashed . what happen is old user continue in clear text even if the configuration is hashed. so If I had new users everything is fine.
old users Membership Provider somehow know they had been stored in clear text and it keep change password and security answer in clear text . If I delete this user and create it , Membership Provider understand that everything will be hashed. I need to know how it know this , I need to migrate users not to delete and recreate users .
Also if there are no solution for that , I wish Microsoft Consider it in future cause it is a real user scenario, that can happen imagine a business system that related to membership user Id , deleting users and recreate them is not a solution .
I just begin creating a website for an organization. First page to be displayed in the login page. I dont have any knowledge in ASP.NET Security.

How do i validate that password that user has entered is his windows password?

I am developing a shopping cart with asp.net and sqlexpress. I am using aspnet authentication components to create a backend page. I designed the site to let in only authorized users in.
Yesterday, I forget my password to login to backend and asked system recover my password. with recover password of the asp.net I was able to receive the temp password. I took that and logged in, of course asp.net forward me to password change component which I am having problem with.
Every time I change my password , password change shows that I was successfull but after clicking on the continiue button password change component comes back. I went to properties of password change component and entered the main default page as destination but it is not helping.
I close the IE clear the cache , even restart the machine. When I login always taking me to the password change page.
Is there a way to assign a value to the password and confirm password fields of the CreateUserWizard control programmatically when the page loads? The CreateUserWizard.Password property is read-only.

View 1 RepliesAm trying to open a .pps/.ppt file through my vb.net code.....due to secure reasons this file is password protected,
However i will not like the end user to put a password when accessing through my application.
Hence i want to pass a password as a parameter while open such a password protected file.
Here is my code.

Where can i provide password while opening a ppt file...
Example scenario:
User login has a list of associated 'accounts' it has access to... this list of accounts is stored in a database table, say tblAccountAccessControl, something like:
login, accountID
userA, account123
userA, account456
userA, account798
userB, accountABC
userB, accountDEF
etc..
This info is used throughout the web application and determines the 'domain' of information the particular login has access to. For example there are many other tables that have the 'accountID' field and whenever a page pulls data from the table it only pulls data that the currently logged in user should be allowed to see, based on that tblAccountAccessControl data.
The security question:
Do I need to query the database every time I need to get this list of allowed accountID's? I was about to use a plain old query string to pass a particular accountID to another page but quickly caught myself as I realized that would be a major security flaw (the receiving page was going to use that accountID to grab info from the database, and there would be nothing preventing a user from simply typing in a url manually to get data from an accountID they are not supposed to be allowed to view). So I then thought I'll just store the list of accountID's in a session state variable so they will be carried with the user throughout the session.
But then I remembered there are tools out there that allow you to easily intercept and modify asp.net viewstate information and I'm not sure if that would included session state variables, but I'm guessing they would. Is there a way to create a secure query string? If I used session state would that session state information be exposed and modifyable by utilities out there? Am I just stuck having to query the database every time I need this info to assure security? What about encrypting it and then storing in session state variable (just thought of that one)?
i am creating a web app for a small buisness enterprise in which i have added a node in my menu (stocks) accessible to limited users
every time a user try to access this node , it will ask for his/her credentials. iam using asp.net login control( in built ) for this . Also i used
<authentiaction mode='forms' />
<authorization>
<deny users='?'>
</authorization>
for these pagesin my web.config file now apart from that , how can i made it more secure using asp.net membership provider.
I'm creating a ASP.NET/SQL Server 2005 Express app which requires users to upload supporting attachment or documents in .docx and .pdf format. The web server is IIS 6/Win 2003. I'm trying to come up with a good way of securing these documents so anonynous users cannot see them and creating a separate Windows login for every user is not an option. SQL Server Express does not have blob data types. I'm storing each user's authentication information in the SQL database and not really using forms authentication.

View 8 RepliesI'm auto-generating a form in my ASP.NET page. This is already tested and working. I want to know if:If there are any security problems with storing the database ID as part of my controls ID? I can see think of 2 issues: the id will be visible in page source (not really important in this case), and the possibility someone could change the name of the control somehow? This second possibility is more serious. Is this a potential problem and how to void it?If there would be a better preferred way to associate a unique data with any type of control? Is it possible to store a custom item in the viewstate for the control?
