Jun 7, 2010I want to know that is that the value of last activity date in aspnet_users table is changed when user is logoff from the application.

View 3 RepliesIf I am going to use the asp.net membership and roles, the asp.net database includes an aspnet_Users table that has the userid and email address. If I have custom fields is it best practice to maintain a separate usert table and link on user id or to add fields to the aspnet_Users table?
View 1 Repliesi have an administrators page that gets a list of the users that are members of my site and i want to display their profile each time i clikc on the user name.
In order to do so, i use the following code:
[Code]....
This way, the last activity date is updated and the IsUserLogedOn property is set to true, without the user actually enter the application (since it is a calculated value that depends on the last activity date). As a result, each time i click a user name to view his profile, the user seems to be loged in.
I created a project using asp.net in visual studio 2008. In my login database table aspnet_users I noticed under the column UserName there is some usernames that I didn't create such as '668215da-b4d0-4e50-8c97-06586afc07b1' All my usernames are less than 8 characters that are generated by users. How and why was the username '668215da-b4d0-4e50-8c97-06586afc07b1' created? When I query the database table aspnet_users to approve a new user I am not interested in usernames such as '668215da-b4d0-4e50-8c97-06586afc07b1'. How do I avoid them in my query?c = squareroot(e/m)
View 3 Repliesi am using aspnetdb database and i am using createuserwizard control and i have found that i am able to create user account with same username. as far as i know i think usernames are stored uniquly but i can't figured it out why i am able to create user account with duplicate user names.
View 6 RepliesI'm using SqlMembershipProvider and SqlRoleProvider for user management.
Users are created by
Dim MCS As System.Web.Security.MembershipCreateStatus
Dim NewUser
As MembershipUser = Membership.CreateUser(TB_UserName.Text, TB_Pw.Text, TB_Email.Text, TB_SecQuestion.Text, TB_SecAnswer.Text,
False, MCS)
later, after email confirmation, I take the user into a specified role
Dim myUser As System.Web.Security.MembershipUser = Nothing
myUser = Membership.GetUser(New Guid(Request("RegID")))Catch
If myUser
IsNot
Nothing
Then
myUser.Comment += " approved "
Membership.UpdateUser(myUser)
Roles.AddUserToRole(myUser.UserName, "role")
End if
After this I have two entries with the same UserName in aspnet_Users table, but with different UserId's. One UserId is referenced in aspnet_Membership table and the other in the aspnet_UsersInRoles table.
Perhaps this is a simpler VS9 question, but I want to link a SQLServer table with additional user data to the standard SQLServer membership table using the GUID userID as a foreign key. I go into design mode of my table, right-click on relationships, and click add in the dialog. but the left hand column shows me only the tables in my database. How do I get it to show the tables in the ASPNETDB.MDF database? I went through the tutorial (http://www.asp.net/learn/security/tutorial-08-cs.aspx), but it seems to magically appear in there without explanation.

View 3 RepliesI am wondering if the aspnet_Users table is always sorted (by UserName) even if I add new users which are alphabetically between two already existing users.
I've noticed that the method Membership.GetAllUsers() always seems to return a sorted collection of MembershipUsers.
Also when I look into SQL Server Management Studio and run a simple SQL query without ORDERBY clause...
SELECT [UserName]
FROM [MyDb].[dbo].[aspnet_Users]
...I get always a sorted result list.
I'm still very unfamiliar with SQL Server but I expected that when I add a new row to a table it is (physically) appended to the end of the table. And when I run a select statement without ORDERBY the rows will be selected in the order they were initially inserted into the database (so without any specific sort order).
I am wrong I guess. But how does it really work? Is it perhaps something special with the aspnet_Users table?
I am happy that the MemberShipUserCollection returned by GetAllUsers() is sorted but is it always guaranteed?
Update
I've just noticed that the database contains a stored procedure called aspnet_Membership_GetAllUsers. This procedure actually contains an ORDER BY clause by UserName. So if this stored procedure is indeed always called when I use Membership.GetAllUsers() in my code (at least if I am using the SqlMembershipProvider) it explains why the collection returned by Membership.GetAllUsers() is sorted by UserName.
Remains the question: Is Membership.GetAllUsers() actually based on this stored procedure?
i am not sure to which head does this problem belongs ....but this seems to be a security issue to me..I am writing this post after googling aroung for 2-3 days..Frown but still can't find any resolution to my problems. Let me describe my problem:-
I have created a website which does the following tasks:
1) Creates a user
2)Enables/Disables users
3)Delete users
4)Unlocks users
5)Reset password of a user
in Active Directory.
I have used impersonation in my application which uses the admin credentials to perform above tasks.When i run this application in debug mode through Visual Studio 2005 ,all the tasks are performed successfully .Now comes the deadly exceptions i am facing after publishing the website and hosting it on IIS. Task 2 & 3 are still working fine and i can enable/disable and delete user from AD even after hosting website but the problem comes in
Resettind password
Exception Details:-Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. || Trace: at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Invoke(String methodName, Object[] args)
at ADHelper.ResetPassword(String currentDomain, String userToResetPwd, String newPassword) in e:New ProjectAD [code]...
I'm working with 2 sites (Intranet and Extranet) that share the same .net membership database (the standard out of the box version). The Intranet and Extranet site users are stored in separate "Applications" within the membership database. I create all users for both sites from within the intranet site. Everything seems to be working except that when i create a user for the extranet site I end up with 2 rows for that user in aspnet_users. One with userID (guid) that I send in and another with a different guid. I'm assusming that .net is creating an anonymous user. The intranet membership provider is the default.
I could delete this row through sql but am hoping for a more elegant solution. Any suggestions?

I would still need to log many other items regarding the user and also the site, like the time spent by the user on the site, no: of currently logged in users on the site. Can anyone here suggest me as to how do I capture those items?? let me know if I am going in the right direction too.....?? If you can provide me with some links on this "user activity logging for windows authenticated applications".

How to create Jobs, I am using SQL 2005, i need a query which should get current date and compare current date with date in table and Send Email according to Job scheduled.
View 4 RepliesThis one is probably snap for one for you gurus. I have a SQL table that needs to have every previous date accounted for. The user is not required to submit an entry daily, but is allowed to go back and submit when they have extra time to do so. I would like to display the next day from last date recorded in the SQL Table as a session variable, so when they go to the form to submit, the last necessary date is shown and the user knows where they left off.

I'm using default ASP.NET user controls and SQL user provider. How can I log somewhere when users login to web and when logout? Is there some tricks for it or just write to some .log file manually each time after user login. (Also , how can I check user IP adress?)
View 2 RepliesI recently read Scott Mitchell's article series "Examining ASP.NET's Membership, Roles, and Profile". In Part [URL], It says "to store additional, user-specific fields...If you are using the SqlMembershipProvider, this would mean creating an additional database table that had as a primary key the UserId value from the aspnet_Users table and columns for each of the additional user properties."I created a table named Thread to store some specific users information and comments they make. I set the ThreadId as the primary key and the UserId as the foreign key to the UserId in aspnet_Users table. But when I run the application and use a user's account to submit a comment, there is an error in my Comments.aspx.vb page "Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'UserId', table 'ASPNETDB.dbo.Thread'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.The statement has been terminated."How can I make the logged-on user's UserId inserted into the Thread table when storing the user's other data information?
View 2 RepliesI am using the System.Web.ApplicationServices.AuthenticationService for Form Based Authentication.
The authenication is done by .LoginAsync based on the user roles got by .GetRolesForCurrentUserAsync.
How to query the database to get a list of all users in the system? I need the list to populate a combobox so the users can pick a contact within the system to connect to instead of simply typing the names and hoping for no typos.
I have an ASP.NET WebForms page with forms authentication. When users create a login, I use 'remember me' to create the authentication cookie.
What I now want to do is check the time of their last access. But LastLogin time is updated only when the user uses the login control (which they don't need to use when they have the authentication cookie on their machine), and LastActivity control is updated before any of my code runs.
It looks like the only way I can do this is to hook into the application event Application_AuthenticateRequest - right? Or is there some better way to do this?
I am running my application locally -- ie. No external traffic and very low number of queries, fully under my control. I see tons of 'Audit Login' and 'Audit Logout' events. What are these and where are they actually stored (ie. Where is this audit log)? Are these a hint of a problem with connections, because I have only a simple connection string within my app and thought that connections would remain active throughout the operation of my app (ie. a single login at launch, and then a single logout when terminating).
View 2 RepliesI have a .net user sign up page that adds the users to the aspNet_Users table but also adds the users to a seperate tblVendors table with additional data gathered at sign up.The question is... how do I add the users in the tblVenders table to the aspNet_UsersToRoles
table to put them in the vendors Role?I'm using a gridView to show all the users in the tblVendors table and when a checkbox in the gridView is checked the button1 click event will fire for code behind vb code.
I'm not real sure how to do this.I've tried several solutions to no avail. I actually get errors about converting strings to guid field because of the uniqueidentifier field in the aspnet tables.Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I need to display current status of a document approval workflow task in asp.net web page with a specific activity highlighted.
I have seen the Visual workflow tracker example (in wf & wcf samples) but I have two issues,
I have to render workflow in asp.net not in a WPF app. I don't need to display current status with workflow running, all activities that need to be highlighted are the ones that require user input. e.g. "waiting for approval from department head" etc.
If I could just convert the workflow XAML to JPG after highlighting a specific activity by activity id "that created a bookmark and waiting for resumption the bookmark" it would do the work.
check the attached file for required workflow image to be rendered on asp.net page:
