How to get the username and password of the user in ASPNETDB. I am using ASP.NET 2.0 and C#.
I have configured the membership provider. I want to retrieve the username and password from the aspnet db?
I have created a test user/password on my web site. The intent is to have prospective clients login and try out the tool. Instead of telling them the userid/password of the test user, I'd like to tweak the Login wizard.
In the Load event, I was able to specify login1.UserName = "test user"
But when I try to specify the password, I'm told it is a readonly field. How can I 'force' a specific password? Or, how can I call the login event directly and pass the needed values?

I am trying to implement a small site which requires users to login using Forms based authentication. I have followed the tutorials found on various sites on the net and in particular the one at [URL]
This enabled me to get a sample environment in place but it seems as though I am having a problem authenticating a user for which I know the username and password are correct.
I have a ASP.Net 3.5 site with my login.aspx form in a folder named login, my default.aspx in the root of the site and my protected content in a folder called main.
I am authenticating against a SQL Server Express database, so I have ran the aspnet_regsql.exe command to populate my database.
I have added the following authentication/authorization lines to my web.config
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="~/login/Default.aspx"
protection="All"
timeout="30"
name="AppNameCookie"
path="/FormsAuth"
[code]...
I believe that my connection string and my database are ok because if i use the ASP.NET Configuration from within Visual Studio I can create and manage my users and I can also see them in the tables in the SQL Server. Also if I do enter any incorect credentials in my login page the page tells me that the password is incorrect.
I got a username and password field which made by myself and a User database which is all manually made
So now I wish to know how to authenticate user using the username and password data enter by the user and match with the database data to verify user is a member and login?
For what i know, the code should be something like this
SELECT UserName, Password FROM dbo.User WHERE UserName - @UserName
@UserName = ?
How do i assign the value from my username text field to @UserName?
I am trying to login usng form authentication from my web.config but it does not work. In the web.config i have the following: (i am going to make the password secure but just need to work with the basics

<forms name="authCK" loginUrl="~/admin/adminlogin.aspx" protection="All" timeout="30">

what it could be ive tried all sorts but it keeps saying incorrect username or password which is the failuretext above.
so I will admit this is a pretty stupid question. To my defense, I have never done it before. So take pity. I followed Joe Stagner's video on using the built-in authentication. Now, I would like to query a database using VB.net codebehind to verify if the user exists. I am clueless. Yes, I have a connection string already.

View 1 RepliesI am writing a simple plugin for IE. I need to store a password and username setting for the user who uses the plugin. I know that I can store the username/password in the registry, I can manually encrypt it using the encription classes with .NET, or I can store it in a config file and encrypt the config file. I was wondering if there is a specific pattern/mechanism that I should use to store password and username.
