I have strange problem with the membership provider on my mvc application.
I have a webforms page inside admin folder which calls the following code in the models directory.
public int SaveUploadedFile(HttpPostedFileBase fileBase)
SiteMap is not clickable on Firefox,Chrome and Safari But works perfecly fine on IE..Here is the code;
div.logintext {
position: relative;
top: 25%;
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
text-align: left;
[code]...
i have add a new column (CustomeAuth) to aspnet_Users but i need to get the value of this column just like:
Membership.GetUser().UserName
so i can use :
Membership.GetUser().CustomeAuth
I am finishing up my asp.net web application targeting .net 4.0. I am using VS2010.
I have deployed my application to a host server and now I am testing with multiple different browsers.
The first issue I ran into comes down to the following code:
[Code]....
If I use IE, login and click something that causes the above code to execute then currentUser is NOT null. However doing the exact same steps in FireFox currentUser is null, even though I know I am logged in as my name and other indications on the webpage confirms I am.
------------------------
Update
----------------------
Since originally posting this thread I have done more testing.
I placed a test button on a random page and the button click will update a label on that page indicating if the currentUser is null or not. This button works both in IE and in FireFox. Also both running locally and running on the host server.
----------------------
So now I am looking at what is different about the one place it appears not to work so let me try to make this clear.
I use a component called Uploadify to upload images into a database. That component calls a page/request called ImageUploader.ashx which inherits from IHttpHandler. Here is all the pertainent code from that file.
[Code]....
The problem is when calling from FireFox, imgProvider.Status = null. This is a problem because the ImageProvider will try to insert a record into my database and the column for Status cannot be null so that causes it to crash. I made the change to detect if Status = null and return the user id if so as an error message to help me debug. To understand how Status is set you only have to look at a little code in the ImageProvider class:
[Code]....
You will notice when the ImageProvider is created it calls ClearFields(). Inside ClearFields() is where it gets the currentUser and if not null it sets the UserID property, which case the setter for UserID must set Status to either Approved or Pending. Whats happening is ONLY in FireFox, and after more testing, ONLY on the host server does currentUser = null even when I am logged in. but in other areas of code I can get currentUser and it works, also this works fine with IE, it also works fine with FireFox running locally. So I have icolated it down to this specific piece of code, when using FireFox, when running on Host server.
I have VS 2008 installed and have IE8 browser as well as google chrome browser.However wheneever i try to run a .aspx page in solution explorer of VS with the browse with.. options,the page runs fine with chrome browser but not with IE8.The IE browser shows the error "Ineternet explorer cannot display the page".I have set the IE as the default browser in the browse with ... option of the VS 2008.
View 6 RepliesI have an Employee class in my App_Code folder. On my login page I am trying to create an Employee using the asp.net username as a parameter in my Employee constructor.
I have tried creating the employee in the page load event when it is a post back. I have tried doing it in the Login1_LoggedIn event. For some reason I cannot pull the username in either one of these places, but if I redirect after logging in and do the same thing on another page, it works.
How can I get it done on the login page?
[Code]....
My Session gets null after redirecting to other page,
Below written is my code in login page:
protected
void btnLogin_Click(object
sender, ImageClickEventArgs e)
{
// saving login history calling submit function to save login details in database
callsubmitfunctionofDatalayer();
//saving session
Session["Username"] = txtUsername.Text;
[Code]....
I have an application that has been running for about 1.5 years. Suddenly, I got a bug report that the support team are receiving an InvalidCastException in the User ManagerUnable to cast object of type 'System.Guid' to type 'System.String'. The line this appears to be happening on is:
string queryStringID = Session["EditID"].ToString();
Guid providerUserKey =
new
Guid(queryStringID)
MembershipUser user =
Membership.GetUser(providerUserKey);
<--- here
This is a rather strange error as the value of the queryStringID is in fact a Guid generated by the Membership.GetUser(UserName).ProviderUserKey on the previous page. It doesn't seem to make any sense at all. I'm using the built-in SqlMembershipProvider with no changes. It's as if it isn't picking up that it should be using the overloaded function Membership.GetUser(object providerUserKey)Anyone else ever seen anything like this? I wouldn't normally post here unless I was absolutely stuck but I can't seem to find any relevant information by Googleing this one. Also, it's just started doing this. There was never an issue before. Very strange
I have created a we app. using win authentication. When type the server ip addres in chrome I get the login window and it works just fine with my organizations credentials, however when doing the same using Internet Explorer I have to login with the server credentials as my account is not valid.
View 1 RepliesI have an ASP.net application hosted on Win2003 server. When I set the Authenticated Access to just Integrated Windows Authentication, IE7 & IE8 started failing in loging into the site with an error 401.1 ("You are not authorized to view this page"). But Firefox has no issues in loging into the site. why IE is failing to login with Integrated Windows Authentication where FireFox works perfectly?
View 1 RepliesI've created a new website using forms authentication. Everything works fine on my local DEV machine - I can log in with no problem in any browser.
But as soon as I deploy this to my production server, I am unable to login using IE. I get to the login page and when I click to login, it just reloads that page and never authenticates me. If I use Google Chrome, I can log in without any problems.
I know this sounds similar to the common problem where you don't have your applicationName specified in the web.config file, but I have that specified in all of my providers.
I've tried this in both IE8 and IE9 while adjusting the cookie settings to accept everything and it makes no difference. I've also tried on multiple computers.
Since I can get it to work in Chrome, I feel like there must be a setting in the code somewhere that affects IE differently. I have a hard time believing it's a setting in IE because I use the standard, default setup there.
The only way I could get this close to working was to adjust this forms authentication setting: cookieless = "UseUri". When I did this, I could get past the login screen to my default page, but then when I tried to navigate to any other pages, it would always take me back to the login page and make me login again. It would take me to the requested page each time, but I would still have to login again at every new page request.
Here are a couple of snippets from my web.config file.
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="Login.aspx"
path="/"
protection="All"

I have an asp.net site running on XP IIS just fine, with login using aspnetdb. However, I wrote a page that has a datasource that connects to the same db, with a gridview that displays users. I've done this before on 2003 server iis 6 no problem. Here I get,
Cannot open user default database. Login failed.Login failed for user (domainusername)This is the identity I set in IIS 6.0 under authentication methods for anonymous access. I had to do this because the site connects to a remote accessdb as well. I cant use a local account or aspnet account.I dont understand how I can use the same site to login and out, but not to access this page.This is my asp.net conection string
data source=.SQLEXPRESS;Integrated Security=SSPI;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|aspnetdb.mdf;user instance=true
The web config has this:
<
add
name="ASPNETDBConnectionString"
connectionString="Data
Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=C:InetpubwwwrootApp_DataASPNETDB.MDF;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=true"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"
/>
Thats what the data source uses.Go figure when I remove and add again integrated security true, I can see the page. WHY I DONT KNOW!!!! But I also call membership.deleteuser() with a delete button, NOW THIS FAILS!Cannot open user default database. Login failed.Login failed for user '(computername)ASPNET'.
I have a TableAdapter that queries a table by UserName. The TableAdapter works fine if I preview data and supply a username. I'm trying to become more familiar with BLLs . I can't find any good examples on using the BLL as the datasource and supply the membership.getuser().username to the DAL. Here is what I tried so far, but membership.getuser can not be a string.
Imports DataSet1TableAdapters
Public
Class UserProfilesBLL
Private UserProfilesAdapter
As UserProfilesTableAdapter =
Nothing
Protected
ReadOnly
Property Adapter()
As UserProfilesTableAdapter
Get
If UserProfilesAdapter
Is
Nothing
Then
UserProfilesAdapter =
New UserProfilesTableAdapter()
End
If
Return UserProfilesAdapter
End
Get
End
Property
Public
Function GetDataByUserName(ByVal
serName As
String)
As DataSet1.UserProfilesDataTable
Dim u
As MembershipUser
u = Membership.GetUser().UserName.ToString
Return Adapter.GetDataByUserName(u)
End
Function
End
Class
What are the differences between Membership.GetUser() and Context.User, and which is recommended for use in getting information about the current user?

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to encrypt some userData to create my own custom IPrincipal and IIdentity objects using Forms authentication - I've serialized an object representing my logged in user to Json and created my FormsAuthentication ticket like so:
string user_item = GetJsonOfLoggedinUser();/*get JSON representation of my logged in user*/
System.Web.Security.FormsAuthenticationTicket ticket =
new System.Web.Security.FormsAuthenticationTicket(1,
WAM.Utilities.SessionHelper.LoggedInEmployee.F_NAME + " "
+ WAM.Utilities.SessionHelper.LoggedInEmployee.L_NAME,
DateTime.Now, DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(30), false, user_item);
string encrypted_ticket = System.Web.Security.FormsAuthentication.Encrypt(ticket);
HttpCookie auth_cookie =
new HttpCookie(System.Web.Security.FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName, encrypted_ticket);
Response.Cookies.Add(auth_cookie);
However, the string encrypted_ticket is always null. Is there a limit on the length of the user_item string?
We have just migrated our application from VS 2008 to VS 2010 and our database from Sql server 2005 to 2008. Everything was working great until i tried to login to the site.
As when i try to log into the site, i am surprisingly always getting "FALSE" from Membership.Validateuser (). I goggled it and now i know i am not the alone victim of this irritating bug. Our live site is going to be down...
[Code]....
returns the error: The parameter 'username' must not be empty.Parameter name: usernameI want to check if a user is logged. If not logged in redirect to loginerror.aspx.
This error is occuring randomly, and I can't seem to pinpoint what is causing it. For the most part, the code works fine. I'm confused why it works sometimes, but then suddently craps out on me, lol.It happens in the code when I call upon the asp.net membership provider. It only seems to happen when i use Membership.GetUser() to grab the logged in user's information.
View 9 RepliesIf I log in different membership provider, and go to page that contains following code, I get NullReferenceException error. User will be authenticated even if I loggin to different membership.
Is there any ways to prevent from getting error??
