Security :: Passing The User.identity Object To Shared Code?
Dec 13, 2010
I have a shared module in an asp.net web app which gets various information about a group or user. Since the Iuser account on the web does not have enough rights to query the AD, I need to supply an appropriate userid and passcode for the directoryentry in the shared code. Since my credentials so the have the appropriate rights to query the AD I like to impersonate myself(user.identity). This works fine for a webpage, but I can't pass the user.identity object to shared code. I get an error. Is there a way to pass the user.identity object to a shared function in another module?

I am trying to figure a way to SSO with ASP.NET membership and role model.
I can implement custom membership provider which consume web services hosting on a server.
With encryption of data. No problem.
But my question is, If I sign on a website with my provider, got my identity object on that application,
could I pass it to another website on another domain which use the same provider and by doing so, do not need to login again?

I have identity impersonate = true in the Web.config file. I have integrated security = true in the DB connection string in the Web.config file.Before identity impersonate was true,users were able to access the DB through the web service account (seemingly).Now I get an error which says " Login failed for ... " because I am aware there is no specific account for that user in the permissions for that DB instance.I needed to set identity impersonate = true because the web service does not have access to the Active Directory,which I need to retrieve certain user information.
My question is,does identity impersonate = true override the integrated security and attempt to user the authenticated user's account to connect to the DB? Is there a simple way to prevent this in the Web.config itself?If not,would programatically impersonating the user within the Active Directory query functions and setting identity impersonate = false do the trick here?

I have implemented Forms authentication in an ASP.NET MVC 2 website
By using <%: Page.User.Identity.Name %> on the Site.Master page I can display the userid of the logged in user.
I would like to use this value and display other information about the user that is stored in a User table in a MsSQL database, like:
<%: GetFirstname(Page.User.Identity.Name) %>

Is there a simple way to just retrieve the user's name, and not the Domain name, when using this function:
string quizTaker = Page.User.Identity.Name.ToString();
Right now it returns "DOMAIN_NAMEUserName"
I would like to just use isolate and use the user's name, without the Domain name.

In the website we have several folders, some folders are accessible by anonymous users, others are accessible by members only, some by administrators or a both administrators and members can view this folder. Each folder contains some forms; these forms are based on the role as well. We'd like to add "user.identity" as to authenticate the user based on the user_id from table websit_ users.
However we are not sure , wither we need to specify each and every form, folder or this will be done automatically once authentication is applied. And where do we put the user.identity and what is the exact format of it. Do we include it in our Global.asax after the authentication part?! This is the code in global.asax:

I have an asp.net app written in c# and want to log into a shared folder on another server using a different user name and password.
How do I and can you give me some example code to allow me to connect to a shared folder on another server using a different user name and password.
Once connected, I wish to update a txt file
StreamWriter sw = File.AppendText(@\flcy_fluencyDNC_ListsTenantDNC.txt);
sw.WriteLine(tbTel1.Text);

I wanted to be able, as an administrator, to create new users using the createuser wizard. When I use the wizard to add a new user, however, I end up logged in as that user, instead of as my admin account. How do I prevent from being logged in as the user I just created?

I'm in the middle of moving a web application from IIS6 to IIS7. I've enabled "Windows Authentication" and added <deny users="?" /> to the authorization section of my web.config file. When the app was running on IIS6 my users where able to access the web app without logging in because their windows login was automatically recognized. This does not seem to be the case in II7. I can not get a value for "Current.User.Identity.Name" in my ASP.Net code.

I have created an asp.net site with anonymous access turned off. Its for an internal (intranet) system which uses User.Identity.Name.ToString() to get the users login windows ID and then displays some records from a datagrid depending on their login ID. Is this secure? Also i am struggling to workout how best to store the result of User.Identity.Name.ToString() as I am not keen on storing it in a hidden text field and would rather not call it all the time unless this is the best way?

when ever i check User.Identity.AuthenticationType the returned string is 'Custom' always, doesn't matter my authentication type is 'Windows' or '''Forms'.
I want to do some different coding in aspx.cs for windows and forms authentication, but i am unable to differentiate between them because 'User.Identity.AuthenticationType' always returns 'Custom'.

To avoid going to the Databse to get the user Id, Id like to append userId to the Context.User.Idenity.name field. This way I can split the returned string to get the UserId without going to the database.
Where can I do this when using the login controls?
Is there some event handler where I can add:
FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(NamePlusUserID, false);

I've implemented a custom ASP.net membership provider to deal with forms authentication. The custom provider uses a custom User object for authentication and authorization. I was wondering If I can pass this object to each WCF call without adding it to the parameters list?

I am working on converting a project from C# to VB and am facing this weird issue. 1 page cannot compile and I get the reference error, but the weird thing is that the compiler shows the error as coming from ASP.NET generated code. Visual Studio shows me that error is coming from my ASPX page. I cannot seem to figure out why or where this error is occuring. Also if I take the inherits attribute out I don't get the compilation error. The code in aspx page is below:

I 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

We have an application using Windows authentication and have <Domain>olduser account.
We renamed the account in the active directory to <Domain>olduser2
Login to a pc as <Domain>olduser2 and try to access our application.
the problem is we can't login anymore.
when i debug the application, i can see that the HttpContext.User.Identity.Name is still <Domain>olduser.. and not olduser2

I am having a problem with security in a web application I am building using Visual Web Developer 2008. I am using Forms Authentication:
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms name=".MYAUTH" timeout="20" enableCrossAppRedirects="true" />
</authentication>
And a SQL Server database with ASP.NET Membership and Roles. I am using the LoginView control with the AnonymousTemplate and LoggedInTemplate to manage the user's interaction with logging in and out. The problem I am having is that I am authenticating the user against the database:
If Membership.ValidateUser(_userName, _txtLoginPass.Text)
Then returns True and:
FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(_userName, False)
sets the cookie correctly:
FormsAuthentication.Decrypt(FormsAuthentication.GetAuthCookie(_userName, False).Values(0))
{System.Web.Security.FormsAuthenticationTicket} CookiePath: "/"
Expiration: #1/21/2010 1:42:27 PM#
Expired: False
IsPersistent: False
IssueDate: #1/21/2010 1:22:27 PM#
Name: "jaymo "
UserData: ""
Version: 2
but when I check
HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated it always returns False.
If done this before and it worked fine. I cannot find any mistake I might have made or where something might have changed between ASP.NET 2.0 and 3.5.
