I'm working with the default asp.net membershipprovider. Now, by default, that requires that all members registere have all unique email-addresses.However, I'd like to override that because, in a code behind of a certain webpage, I do not need emails to be unique.

i have a class library for membership provider and inherits from System.Web.Security.sqlMembershipProvider
i just want to change somthing in it this class library will work in difrent web form application
i need to get the connectionStringName in web.config where the membership set to work with it.
how can i get the connectionStringName?
I'm trying to unit test the MembershipProvider, however I cant figure out how or whether there is any need for unit testing of it...My business layer:
[Code]....
The only examples I've found so far requires a "MockMembershipProvider" with a local database setup... seems quite odd to me.
I trying to understand how a server farm would use MembershipProvider / RoleProvider. If I have a million users, I do not want to have multiple copies of the MembershipProvider / RoleProvider database. I would like to have one set of machines used for login but then redirect users to other machines in the server farm depending applications the users decide to use. However, once they are redirected to the new machine, I do not want the user to have to relogin. I want the credentials and role information to be available.
Does anyone know how MembershipProvider / RoleProvider is configured for this type architecture?
I have created a custom MembershipProvider and RoleProvider which communications with some existing business logic. The issue I have is that the user login in my business logic requires 3 arguments (group id, user id, and password) and the MembershipProvider and RoleProvider I implemented just use 1 or 2 arguments (username, password). Right now I append my group id and user id together and pass it as the username then parse it in the implemented methods. Is there a better way to do this?
Note, I can handle the login fine because I can call my own ValidateUser method. The main issue is when the implemented methods are called from other things like the RoleProvider.GetRolesForUser(username) method when I use the AuthorizeAttribute.

I'm using various ASP.NET controls out of the box such as the CreateUserWizard control, Login control etc... For custom controls, I have sanitized my inputs by making sure they conform to expected values. However, is this required for the controls such as the CreateUserWizard control, or is that handled internally? Do I need to provide any extra server side validation to these controls and, if so, would it be best to do it in the "CreateUserWizardControl_CreatingUser" event?
View 2 RepliesI have a web page, where the administrator can reset other users password.I am not using any membership controls here.I found that i can use Membership.Provider.ResetPassword() function.But i want to send the new password to the user through the mail, just like in password recovery control, reusing the mail configuration in the web.config file(which membership use with the password recovery control).Do i need to explicitly do the coding for sending the mail, using SMTP client, and mail message class?or is there any builtin functionality inside membership for this just like in password recovery?

View 2 RepliesSay for my ASP.NET application, I have implemented my custom RoleProvider by using my existing Users table on my Oracle 11g database. Then, for my Membership Provider, can I still use the AspNetSqlMembershipProvider that comes with the .NET framework and uses SQL Server?
View 4 RepliesI have written an assembly (DLL) containing two classes, MyMembershipProvider and MyRoleProvider, which are derived from MembershipProvider and RoleProvider, respectively. I have implemented most but not all of the abstract methods; the remaining ones all throw a NotImplementedException. I have signed the assembly and added a reference to it in my web-site project, where the relevant web.config sections look like this:
[Code]....
When I fire up the site, however, I get the following error:
Configuration Error
Description:
An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.
Parser Error Message:
Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.
The error message points to the <add /> tag in the <roleManager /> section: if I take that out, however (enabled="false"), it comes back again as soon as I try to log-in to the site (this time pointing to the membership section). I have verified that is recognising the classes by changing the name in the "type" attribute (to something that doesn't exist), at which point it throws a different error. Therefore I'm presuming there's a problem with my assembly code somewhere; but how can I find out where? I have debug=true in the web.config and also compiled the assembly with Debug options, but no clues.
used the built-in Membership framework and has implemented his own provider by creating a class that inherits from MembershipProvider (found in System.Web.Security). I actually went ahead and created a custom provider which inherits from MembershipProvider. The problem is that there are several methods I do not really need. Also, the schema is totally different. Plus, most methods return a MembershipUser which means my User class has to inherit from it as well. So really, what benefits does the MembershipProvider and the whole Membership framework add to my system? Do these benefits justify the fact that I won't be using most of the methods on the class?

I am beginner in web applications development. I started one little project and host it on source forge "https://homoco.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/homoco". And I started implementing authentication in this application to learn how it works. From my experience people never use out of the box things so I want to implement this stuff alone (like in real world projects). So some questions:
1) Is there any reason to use membership out of the box? To use database table schema, stored procedures etc. that tool generate for developer. I think that this lower control over code and I decided to implement it my self. I don't know if I am right.
2) Is my approach in this demo project good or bad (if someone have time I like to do just a little code review)? I created database based on business rules. Not using database schema that membership provider require. Extend "MembershipProvider" class to satisfy my needs. Implement queries to database myself.
3) Now, this question is a little wired but I have to ask it. If we make custom Membership Provider and do sql queries alone, implement all MembershipProvider class methods ourselves, and in application use Membership.blabla() why is this approach different from not extending MembershipProvider class and putting all this methods in some unique class and call its methods then? I hope that someone understand what I ask here.
I am sorry for three questions, but I really trying to find the best way to implement this feature in my demo project like it is a real world application.
Our web application hosted from windows 2003 server, is trying to access a file present in a shared folder of another windows 2003 server. The path for the shared folder is configured in the webconfig file in the below format.
<add key="ReportPath" value="\<Server_Name>Reports"/>
if (!File.Exists(ReportPath))
/ Show the report in a link
This function File.Exists() always returns false and when I try to remove the check, it returned the exception, "Logon failure: unknown username or bad password."
I have a webpage stored on a local server (Site A) which when I browse to it is given my windows account details, this site then checks within AD to get my email address. My email address is then passed to another website (Site B) and consumed. The Website A is set in IIS to Integrated Windows Auth Only, WebSite A has
<identity impersonate="false"/>
set in the web.config What I dont understand is what user is accessing AD from site A - with impersonate = false that is telling the site not impersonate the windows user, but this seems at odds with the setting in IIS.
I have a situation...i need to change requiresQuestionAndAnswer and requiresUniqueEmail values to false at runtime(for membership providers)
View 4 RepliesI create two pages, the first one is the login page with user name and password textboxes - (not asp login control) , when clicking login button I check the login authentication, if it is true redirect to default page. in the default page if !IsCallBack then i check httpcontext.current.user.identity.isauthenticated
if it is false i redirect the user to the login page. but my problem is that the httpcontext.current.user.identity.isauthenticated is always false.
Below the section of authentication in web config

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

I need an app pool recycle to be completely transparent to the users of my web app. I use ASP.NET 3.5 MVC 1.
Currently, upon an IIS 7 App Pool recycle all users logged into my web app are kicked out and are required to log back in (Context.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated is set to false). I employ SQL State Server, I use forms authentication and both are configured to use cookies. I was under the impression that .NET and/or IIS handles authentication of cookies.
However, every time the app pool is recycled Context.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated is set to false my users are kicked out and are required to log back in. I can see that the session id remains the same throughout logins, I can also view this session information in the database/state server.
