Does anyone know a good tutorial for building a custom login control I've tried looking for one that suits my needs with no success. I want to be able to store credentials and other information in an XML file
View 1 RepliesI'm looking for a way I can store username and password credentials in a web.config file & use these values to re-direct to another web service, once these are authenticated.
The process is as follows:
* User logs into our website with required credentials
* There is a link on our website which invokes a new webservice
* The webservice is a paid for subscribed service (which requires authentication)
* Usually, there is a web form for this type of web service but since we need to steam-line the process from initial application logon, the logon page is not required.
* So when the link on our website is clicked, the new webservice is invoked. Authentication should be done by using the credentials in the web.config file and user is redirected to webservice (avoiding logon page)
Could someone tell me using pseudocode or a small asp.net code example how we could achieve this process?
The key goal is to avoid user going into the Logon page and redirecting directly to the URL for usage of the webservice.
It has been a while since I've built an entire ASP.NET web application from the ground up but I'm about to jump in again. I've built many individual pages, controls, web parts, etc. recently, but nothting 'soup to nuts' for a couple of years. My question is in regards to login security control. I do not want to use the built in ASP.NET Memberhip functionality for various reasons and already have custom code that authenticates the user, controls passwords, login attempts, etc. I am really concerned though about how to validate that the user is logged in (and the best way to do it). For instance, right now I use a Base page that all of my .aspx pages inherit from. In the OnInit() method, it executes code which includes:
[Code]....
I set the Session["LoggedIn"] object to "true" after the user has successfully been authenticated at the Login.aspx page. So, when a user attempts to access any page in the application, if that Session object isn't true, they will be redirected (you can't visit any page without being logged in). This all works great, but I'm thinking I need something more and that brings me here. First, do I need more? Is this enough? I was thinking about creating a cookie with a GUID value and the SessionID (both encrypted perhaps?) and adding that to my Base page so it checks both the current Session["LoggedIn"] value
and the values in the cookie.
while creating users/groups using web site administration tool, is there a way to configure it to store to a specific database rather than store to a Microsoft SQL 2005 Server Express Edition by default in the App_Data folder?
View 2 RepliesI need to know how to change aspnetdb to store profile information unique to each user so that I can restrict records in an sql table to only show that user's records.
So if I make a "companyID" int, identity column where would I put it?
Also, when I write the where clause to companyID = profile (companyID) would that work?
I'm working on an ASP.NET project for the first time in about three years; in the meantime I've been working with Python/Django, PHP and Obj-C. Anyways, picked it right back up... except something that is totally killing me right now, and I have a feeling it must be staring me in the face:
I'm trying to bind to an LDAP server, for the purpose of authenticating users. The way it works here is, you bind on your own credentials, use that to find the Distinguished Name of the user you're authenticating, then you bind again on their DN and their password. If the bind is successful, the password was correct and the user can be authenticated.
Here's the problem - the first bind (on the fixed credentials, the ones with the ability to search for users and their subtrees) works fine. The search works fine. The second bind fails, no matter what, with the LDAP error INVALID_CREDENTIALS. This happens even when completely valid credentials are supplied.
Here's the code, with the usernames and passwords redacted, of course...

I have a site that has username and password fields, but it's odd that after I logged in, next time I come back to the site, it doesn't store my credentials. Am I missing something?
View 24 RepliesIs it better to store images directly in a database or to just store the name of the file in the db and display that file? I would think that just storing the filename of the image would keep the db size low...

View 5 RepliesI am coming back to developing in .net and I want to use MVC3. I have a question about the best way to store data that will be used often by many users and not changed much. I would normally think to store and retrieve on a database but making calls everytime seems ineffecient. I would like to use cache with an sql dependency but not exactly sure how to do this on MVC3 and if it is the best way.
View 6 RepliesI'm using Google Maps v3 and I build in the server side a json collection of location data. So when I receive that, I iterate through that collection and create a marker object for each and every one of them.For each of these markers, I bind them with the click event, so when the user clicks on a marker in the map, it displays an infoWindow with data related to the associated location.I have an array to store all the location got from the server that holds the retrieved json objects and their corresponding marker.
The problem is that, even when I have an array that I can reference or iterate through, I need to not only get the marker object when the user clicks on them, but also the location object, that stores more information.I tried to mantain this array of objects and reference it from the calling object without success, because the function is called by the marker and not the location object. So I thought if it's possible to store more information in the google maps marker object like using a general purpose field.
i have a list of fields that i would store for all the user session. I thought to create a class, insert the information in it and store the class in the session but i'm not sure this is the best way to do it (performances, etc). I should have a list of these informations that i can display in views, i can delete and i can update. How could i do this?
View 10 Repliesking for some advice on storing views in a data-store (database, file, other) and display them based on routing data, all using ASP.NET MVC 2 and ASP.NET Routing.For example, I'd like to be able to display different views based on the following route dataBut in the same vein I'd like to display:All are based on strings, and the data isn't fixed. So based on the number of segments maybe, use that as the selection criteria into the data-store...additionally, I may not know the segments up front, so they'd all be dynamic.
View 2 RepliesWhat is the best way to keep track of user specific information?
I want to show information in querys etc based upon specific properties, for instance a users belongs to a dealer, and that dealer has an ID.
So is it a good way to store that dealer ID in a session variable or should I consider a other option to use this on multiple pages.
We have 2 asp.net web servers working through the LoadBalancer that are accessible externally. Earlier, for all applications we did logging into DB. Now we have 1 more app that doesn't work with DB, it is used for 'messages transferring'. On TEST environment it does logging into files into a local folder.
If we deploy it "as is" to PROD we will have 2 separate log files... that is not very good idea. Connecting to DB just for logging doesn't seem reasonable too...
Possible solution could be store log file into a shared folder somewhere on another server.
i have this form, that the data is stored in a SQL db using Linq.
my question is, how can i add a column, that will have all the information about the sender, meaning IP address, browser, referrer etc.
the thing is is i want to store it in one field. i come from a php knowledge that has been long forgotten by me, but i still remember there was some serialize command, that you could run on an array and store it in a db, then when you want it back to an array you would just run deserialize command and it would go back to an array.

View 6 RepliesI need to enter text in sql in nvarchar(max) .. the text contains titles and paragraphs.
I was using a separate table called paragraphs to enter paragraph title and paragraph content. These get a 'article ID' so I can read them out of SQL. On my page I format title and content differently.
Now I was wondering if I can enter Title format information into sql (as the <br/>) tags, so that i can enter all article information into 1 table column.
I was under the impression that you could use the HttpContext.Current.Items collection to pass information between pages but it doesnt seem to workLets say i have a Page1 ButtonClick, the button click handler stores a value in the collection like so; HttpContext.Current.Items("Test1") = "Test"Then i do Response.Redirect("Page2.aspx").In the Form_Load of Page2, HttpContext.Current.Items("Test1") contains nothing. Why does this not work when its all part of the same postback?This would be perfect, because i wouldnt need to worry about clearing the values between requests because they would automatically get cleared each time the page was posted back.
