I have used membership provider to implement my system. The system administrator can list the users. What I want to do is, administrator should be able to sign-in as the selected user. I can sign out administrator by FormsAuthentication.Signout but how can I sign in as the selected user? Passwords are hashed so I can not retrieve the passwords.

the only way to make themes work is to allow user "Everyone" to access the folder App_Themes. I am wondering if a more specific user instead of "Everyone" can be granted the access to allow themems work.Account "IIS_IUSRS" and "NETWORK SERVICE" have already been granted access.This is about folder access of Windows 7 running IIS7, not web page authorization configured via web.config.

View 1 Repliesuser phoned me and said he received an error when attempting to login stating that his account had been locked. I had to unlock the user account today manually through the user interface. Several hours later I had to do it again. Afterwards, when I looked at the aspnet_Membership table it showed NO failed login attempts. LastLockout date for that particular user was set to min date. FailedPasswardAttemptCount was zero. FailedPasswordAttemptWindowStart was min date. I then proceeded to fail logging with the users account name.
View 3 RepliesI have an application which is installed on local pc and is using SQL db. It is a client management system where I want to add capability to register new clients and give them access to my web site which is sharing the same SQL database with local application.
At the moment clients can register on the web site and I have ASP.NET authorisation system set up with aspnetdb_user, aspnetdb_membership and etc tables. But sometimes it happens that I need to register clients on my local application on PC and ideally would like that registration to create online account for the client as well. Then I want to be able to send him user id and password by email and let him know that he has been registered in my database and online account is ready for him as well.
Basically I want to have full synchronization between asp.net membership service and local application through SQL db. As I said both online and local apps are shareing the same SQL database. what would be the best practice to implement it.
The result is FALSE after the first step in creating a new user account:
<asp:CreateUserWizard ID="CreateUserWizard1"
<asp:CreateUserWizardStep ID="CreateUserWizardStep1"
The result is TRUE after the second step in creating a user account
Could anyone provide guidance about the common technique of sending an email to the new user -> new user clicks the link in the email -> and then the account becomes activated and ready for use?
Currently using the CreateUserWizard control in .NET v4 and a Membership db in SQL Server 2008. If I need to do this via custom code and not the CreateUserWizard that's fine. Would be nice to see expert thoughts on this common, enterprise quality, new account validation technique.
The link below outlines a technique for sending a confirmation email but does not include activation:[URL]

Do anyone knows how to lock a account after a user enters the password too many times.
View 3 RepliesI wrote an asp.net application that I'm trying to run on a godaddy domain I bought. I need to read a file in a folder that I did not give read access to so that your average user cannot see in the informaion in that folder. I assumed that the asp.net program would have the same credentials as myself because server-side code. Turns out I am wrong. When I go to use the asp.net application it throws an access denied error saying that the ASP.NET user account has to be given permissions to access the folder.
After talking to two different tech support people at godaddy I've come to the realization that they are either dumb or lazy (or a combo of the two).I came across some code that you can put into the web.config file that would allow the asp.net application to impersonate a user, which would work great to use myself as the impersonated user. However it seems that godaddy cannot give me the name of the server that my domain is on (that's understandable) so I don't know what to put in the identity tag to get this to work.
Here is the code I found:
[Code]....
(of course I filled in the username and password with the correct info)
When I went to use it again it threw this error:
System.Web.HttpException: The current identity (PHX3username) does not have write access to 'C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727Temporary ASP.NET Files'.
Do I just need to make a field for account type in my user account table? In a technical way, if(account type = admin) then the account would log as admin; otherwise, a user with less privileges.
View 7 RepliesI've been working through the ASP.NET Security Tutorial 12, seen here:
http://www.asp.net/%28S%28pdfrohu0ajmwt445fanvj2r3%29%29/learn/security/tutorial-12-cs.aspx
Part of this tutorial entails setting up a GridView which is bound to the collection of UserAccounts, and then enabling paging on the GridView. There are the usual four links for First, Prev, Next, and Last pages, which should work because I have twelve users defined, and the pagesize of my GridView set to 5. I've set up the code to enable or disable the paging links depending on what section of the entire UserGrid is currently visible.
So when I first run the website and go to the ManageUsers.aspx page, I would expect to see only the first five users in my collection. But it shows all twelve.
I must have overlooked something, but I can't find it in the text and examples.
i have a problem with the users authentication on my site. I made <authentication mode="Windows"> in my web.config. The LoginView shows "mycomputermyusername" if i request the page. So far as well. Now i want to login with a different username. Users are stored in an Active Directory. My questions: wich setting i have to do, that user's account and password checked by Active Directory? how can i force the system to make a new login? Logout doesn't work, i always see my on account.
View 1 RepliesI got a loginview located on the master page hen i have a registering functionWhat I want to do is upon registration successful, I wish to directly switch to loginview template to assigned role which is member How do i do that using codebehind?
View 3 RepliesSay that, there is a login.aspx page for any application. I would like to see this login page in different format if user visit by Iphone or any other mobile device. I have already designed two different page for test purposes. If i visit the page which is modified for Iphone, everything works fine.
what is the best way to switch between these two page depends on by which device user visit? These two pages could be even totally different two pages like black and white because of page layout issues.
I have the membership provider and the create user with tow steps, one of the steps contains a custom registration form, for each created user data will be in the database, and there is an account page shows the data that the new created user did insert during the registration process on the custom registration page,
the problem, when the user is created and logged into his account page, this account page shows only the information for the first created user, not the info on the logged in user , but the logged in user data still saved in database and not showing on his account page?
This is web.confg code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
I'm creating a LoginView in a class file rather than at design time.
The equivalent LoginView created in a .aspx page and used the same way works fine, and User.Identity.IsAuthenticated is switching from false to true once I log in as a user so the problem must not be there.
But even once logged in, the programmatic version of this LoginView is not switching from the Anonymous template to the LoggedIn and the output is always "You are not logged in".
Anyone have ideas? thanks.
here is my code to create the loginview
private void BuildAddCommentView(HtmlTextWriter htmlTextWriter)
{
LoginView commentsLoginView = new LoginView();
commentsLoginView.AnonymousTemplate = new LoginViewTemplate("AnonymousTemplate");
commentsLoginView.LoggedInTemplate = new LoginViewTemplate("LoggedInTemplate");
commentsLoginView.DataBind();
commentsLoginView.RenderControl(htmlTextWriter);
}
here's the LoginViewTemplate class
class LoginViewTemplate:ITemplate
{
string _templateType;
public LoginViewTemplate(String templateType)
{
_templateType = templateType;
}
public void InstantiateIn(Control container)
{
Label label = new Label();
switch (_templateType)
{
case "AnonymousTemplate":
label.Text = "You are not logged in.";
container.Controls.Add(label);
break;
case "LoggedInTemplate":
label.Text = "YOU ARE LOGGED IN.";
container.Controls.Add(label);
break;
}
}
}
