Security :: Regain Access To Manage Users And Roles For This Application?
Sep 23, 2010
I am working on an application that resides on a development server on our internal network. The application was originally written to use Membership and Roles. We got busy almost a year ago before the app was finished, and now we are trying to get it ready to use internally.
The login page works just fine, but I have lost the ability to controls users and roles. I am running Visual Studio 2010 Professional now on a Windows 7 VM. I can open the application fine but there is no Web Administration Tool available for me to manage users or roles. If I go to Website -> in Visual Studio, there is no option for ASP.NET Configuration in the drop down menu. It simply isn't there.
How can I regain access to manage users and roles for this application? We are using Forms authentication and the database resides on a SQL Server 2005 instance on a separate box from the web server and my local VM.

I'm using vs 2005 and asp.net 2.0 to create my website. Recently, I thought about applying membership instead of my customized security system in order to achieve higher security level and performance. At first thing went well, since it was easy to create/manage users and Role names from behind code, but when I came upon the "Access Rules" I faced what you can call it an 'obstacle' at least from my opinion.
The thing is, I don't want to use Asp.net Web Site Administration Tool to create and manage my access rules which I'm going to assign to each of my dynamically created Roles. What I want to be able to do is make a page where the Admin can create/manage his desired Role(s) and also, create/manage the Access Rules, then add such Access Rules to the previously created Role(s).
Now, what I need to know first is... is it even possible to do such thing in the first place? Because the way i understand it is, since the access rules are stored in the web.config of each folder/directory that you apply them on then it shouldn't be allowed to modify it from the running/published website.

I have a web.config file with <authorization> section. I'm using window authentication.
The problem is that I would like to allow access to the web site to those users who are in multiple roles.
For example:
<authorization>
<allow roles = "Role1 AND Role2"/>
<deny users="*"/>
</authorization>
(Meaning I would like to allow access only to those user who are both in Role1 AND Role2.)
Is this possible to achive this?
If not, what would be the alternatives?
Note: Currently I'm doing the roles assignment in the Global.asax file in the OnAuthenticateRequest event (i'm reading the groups that the current user belong to in the Active Directory).

I am creating a Web Application in asp.net 2.0 and sql server 2005.I want to use an existing database.
I have created a login and a signup page. Then i replace the new SQL database (the one that is created automaticly by the visual studio) with the exiting database I have.If I create a new user, the new user goes to the database and I can login with the new user. I cannot login with the existing users.If I go to the asp.net configuration, I only can see the new users I have created, I cannot see the users that were in the database already and I can't see the roles also.
I can I make the new application to recognize the users and roles of the existing database?

I have two diffrent webforms (ASP.NET 2.0) applications that both uses the built-in membership provider of asp.net. The two application uses the same database, but is diffrentiated by ApplicationName.
One application is sort of an admintool (AdminApp) of the other application (UserApp).
I am now looking for a way to login to the UserApp from the AdminApp and sort-of impersonate a given user.
I have built an interface to automatically login a user to the UserApp (URL with querystring), but I need to be able to access the username of the refered user in the AdminApp. I was hoping for something like this would work:
Membership.GetApplication("AdminApp").GetUser();
...but I am unable to find something that works.
Is there a solution for my problem? Should I use some other approach?
/D
PS. A fallback solution wouuld ofcourse be to send a username in the auto-login-url-querystring, but that doesn't really sound solid.

Working on my first asp.net webpage. i have followed video tutorials and implemented asp.net membership for login/security.Using Visual Studio 2010 i can open the Asp.net configuration page for management locally.But then if I want my site admin to manage users/security online, how is this done? Like manage through a web browser. I guess this asp.net configuration GUI is not available on the internet?

i want to implement asp.net role provider to assign users over my LAN to roles and have my asp.net intranet app implement security based on roles.
i dont want to use VS to manage this with the built in tools but rather hand this off to users to manage themselves. i want an admin folder with a page(s) for admin roles to be able to create/edit roles and manage users in roles... this way an admin can add a domain user (MyDomainUsername) to a role such as ProojectManager or Tester or Developer... and users wont need to contact me for these tasks...
can anyone provide me a link (or some sample code) to some sample i can use to admin roles and users over a LAN in asp.net with c#?

I'm workin with Visual studio 2010 and I'm trying to create an ASP.net Web Site, language used - C#
I have 2 different pages, for 2 different users with 2 different roles.Each page has a textbox.I have already created them.What I want to do, is to make a bind between this 2 textboxes, so that the second to get the first boxes' text.I managed to do it, but only if the textboxes are on the same page, very easy (Textbox2.Text=TextBox1.Text) . But how to do it for 2 different pages, for 2 different users with 2 different roles?
Another trouble would be....How can I connect the both users same time....after i start debugging the project, I do a sign in but when I sign in with the second user,the first is automaticly siggned out and the text it's lost.Then, how can they synchronize and the second user see what the first one wrote,using that 2 textboxes? Wich is the solution?

I am trying to implement a page for an admin to edit other users details including roles and profile. I have a custom profile provider that stores data in database. My implementation is a page that shows username and allows an admin to reset user password, unlock users and approve and disapprove the users. I wanted to add a column in the gridview to allow the admin to remove or add a user to a role with the constraint that a user should be added only to one role.

I'm running IIS7 ( in integrated mode ) and Net. 4.0 framework on Windows 7.
a) If web application runs within Asp.Net v4.0 pool, then both Net Users and Net Roles features are not available.
b) I assume Asp.Net 4.0 apps can only run within Asp.Net v4.0 pools?

I need to create a site that is Roles based and can use AD groups and Users. I found Scott Mitchell's tutorials for setting up "role-based-authorization-cs" [URL]
I've changed to using Windows auth. instead of forms and am pointing it to a remote SQL Database. I can successfully add a user/password/email etc. (although I believe the password and email sections aren't required and would like to remove them as options).
When I create a user (usera) and login to a windows box as usera the menu displays correctly based on the Roles I've added the user to in the SQL Database.
When I add an AD Group and add it to the same Role the menu's that are displayed do not match that of usera.
I'd like to be able to add entire AD groups (They can obviously change so it needs to be dynamic in some way), as well as add individual AD users to Roles. I'd prefer to do this via a Web interface.
My questions are.
1. Am I going about this the right way?
2. If I'm not what would be a better way?
3. If I am what do I need to do to allow ADGroup lookup?

I have set up a very simple authentication page where the user enters his password and if successful authentication occurs the program allows the user to make use of the controls in the page.
I used ASP.Net Configuration to create the user and roles, SQL Membership Provider for the authentication tables and asp login controls to authenticate.
Is there any way to add users and roles once the project is deployed? Could I use the ASP.Net configuration page? and if so how?

Initially, in my solution I had one project, and had set up all that is required for asp.net security, and that includes users and roles and access rules, etc. All of that was and still is working fine.
Now I added another project to my solution, and my first project points to pages in the second project.
The problem is that it seems like the users and roles are not being transferred accross projects. Not sure if I am explaining my problem correctly...if not, feel free to ask...
Its my first time trying to manage users and roles accross projects within a solution.

I am able successfully execute IsUserInRole() and GetRolesForUser() in the codebehind and get expected results. The same applies to the web.sitemap, adding roles in there do not seem to apply to the user even if he is a member of the role.
