I need to send a password from a windows application to the web (asp.net) in order to automatically login the user on the web (e.g.: opening hotmail from windows live messenger).
I thought about hash code, but the problem is: the value will be stored on user browser history (querystring).
how to pass a one-time valid key (a key that is valid for only one use) using querystring?
I have been trying to avoid the windows login userid and password window when I use the Windows Authentication mode for a web site.

I had tried almost everything... changed authentication,security setups on IE and IIS etc... still not being able to avoid the window...

We have developed a website in asp.net using windows authentication and deployed it on the intranet (IIS v6.0). Most of the times, when users try to access this website they are taken straight to the website, but occasionally some users get a prompt to enter their windows username and password. I understand that this could be caused because of several reasons like:
Cached active directory password. Recently active directory password changed. Active directory account locked out. I want to fix this issue for good because it is annoying the users.
I have to enter the username and password and login in to a site say gmail, from my web application.
is der any way wherein i can give the user id and password in my application and try to signon to the other application using c# code.
Can this be done using c# .net ?

View 4 RepliesI am designing a website (ASP.NET in VB) and I'd like it to have the following features: to generate a random string to be used as a password. This bit I should be able to manage, the bit I don't have a clue on is how I can pass this to a Windows machine (on a workgroup not AD) to change a user's account password.
View 2 RepliesUsing windows Authentication... is it possible to progrematically change a password?
I tried using several ways to do this. I tried using the ChangePassword control. This tells me that minimun characters is 7 even though I have more then 7 characters... I also tried using this method:
[Code]....
The user is always null... and I am assuming this is because this object is indended to use with Forms authentication.
All I want to do is have an option for users to change passwords. Is this possible with Windows Authentication?
I cannot send email to the the users when they forget their password ( I am using .NET's Forgot password wizard), and I am using the below code in the web.config file. My hosting provider is Go Daddy and it is a shared hoting.

View 4 RepliesI have an Intranet web site that uses Windows Authentication and when a users password expires the do not get a prompt letting them reset it. We also have OWA and if they go there to check mail, it sends them to a page which allows them to reset it there. How can I trap for expired passwords and allow them to change it like they can with OWA?

My questions: wich setting i have to do, that user's account and password checked by Active Directory? how can i force the system to make a new login? Logout doesn't work, i always see my on account.
View 1 RepliesI want to use forgot password option in my website. My basic flow is
- ask for username and email id.
- a link will be send on the email id
-after clicking the link, the user will be able to enter new password.
I am done till step 2(probably) using Guid.
My website security is configured with "Windows Integrated Security" only (anonymous is disabled).
I also want to set a specific account to run the w3wp.exe process using the
Application Pool Identity to a domain account.
Running directly from the server works without any problem but from remote computers I always get the authenticaion window then the 401.1 error (after 3 attempts).
It seems that its the combination of "Windows Integrated Security" along with the "Application Pool Identity" that causes the problem. When I disable one of the two it works properly.
My server is Windows Server 2003 R2, running IIS 6.0.
I have a website that is going on a public server so I want to password protect it, but for a while only myself and a couple of others will be using it. I will eventually get it together to do it right and have the users in a database etc, but for now, I just want to put a couple of users with their passwords in the web.config and have them authenticate on a login page.
View 2 RepliesI have built an ASP.NET application that needs to be password protected. This application will be installed on multiple offline computers, and we need to make sure that when being installed it requires a password. But even if it requires a password, someone can easily copy the database and the published folder and duplicate the application on their system right?
I need a way to prevent this. It should only work on laptops that we have installed it on.
I am creating a website for reset the password in one of the application from the back end.
I have created a webpage with only one button called "RESET".
If user click the button, it should check the user have already access the application from the "USER" table. If no access, the message appears "You do not have an access."
If yes, next step whether the user have authenticate. If yes update the encrypted password from new table called "UMRESET" to the application table "USER" password.
I am using the below post to encrypt and decrypt the password.
ENCRYPT POST
Now my code is working for Encryption. But now what I want is,
When I am using Forgot passwprd functionality, I want to send the decrypted password to the respective user in the Email.
In my database table the password is saved in the Encrypted format.
I have the code decrypt code from the above mentioned post, the question is where to place in the below code so that it will decrypt it properly
Here is my code:-
protected void btnSubmit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["DefaultCSRConnection"].ConnectionString)) {
conn.Open();
[Code] ....
