In my account controller I am calling FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie( emailAddress, rememberMe ).
Response.Cookies has my cookie. However, after the redirect the cookie is gone and the request is not authenticated.

Problem: I am using FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(UserId, False)[Snip]Response.Redirect("~/login_pages/home2.aspx") ' Force round trip so that logon works OK to logon a user. It all works fine with other browsers, and IE7 provided that IE7's PRIVACY (originally I had written "Security") setting is Low. However it doesn't work when the PRIVACY setting is Medium (the default).
How do I solve this problem? I would have expected that FormsAuthentication.Authenticate(Userid, password) was the solution, but this doesn't seem to work at all.

I am using DotNetOpenAuth in my ASP.Net Website. I have modified it to work with Facebook Connect as well, using the same methods and database structures. Now I have come across a problem.
I have added a Facebook Connect button to a login page. From that HTML button, I have to somehow pull information from the Facebook Connect connection and pass it into a method to authenticate the user. The way I am currently doing this is by:
Calling a Javascript Function on the onlogin function of the FBML/HTML Facebook Connect button. The javascript function calls a Web service to login, which it does correctly. The web service calls my data access layer to login. And here is the problem: FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie is set at the data access layer. The Cookie is beyond the scope of the user's page and therefore is not set in the browser. This means that the user is authenticated, but the user's browser is never notified. So, I need to figure out if this is a bad way of doing what I need or if there is a better way to accomplish what I need. I am just not sure and have been trying to find answers for hours.

I've a default.aspx page in my application's root folder. I added a a page in the root of inetpub that redirects requests to the default page. The idea is that the user need only enter the server name to get to the default page. How can I set things up so that all users have access to the default.aspx and that they only have access to the other pages once they've been authenticated?
I am using Windows Integrated Security and the users are being challenged and authenticated properly. I want them to be able to access Default.aspx without any challenges.
(On a side note which may answer this question, when using WIS does the user *allows* have to be challenged? Isn't it possible to pass through their Windows User and ID without the prompt?)
c: inetpubwwwroot
edirect.aspx (set as default document in IIS and simple executes Response.redirect("sites/mercury/default.aspx")

I am trying to create a httphandler which will intercept a sample pdf file which we have in our website. The httphandler works fine from within my development machine and even my locally published website that if I just try to connect to the test url: [URL] I will get sent to the invalid access page. So pushing it to our IIS6 machine when I try to go to the URL it serves up the PDF document. context.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated is always showing as true. I'm using forms authentication. below is the code I am using as the handler.
public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
{
if (context.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
{
string SampleURL = context.Request.AppRelativeCurrentExecutionFilePath;
context.Response.Buffer = true;
context.Response.Clear();
using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(SampleURL),FileMode.Open))
{
int length = (int)fs.Length;
byte[] buffer;
using (BinaryReader br = new BinaryReader(fs))
{
buffer = br.ReadBytes(length);
}
context.Response.Clear();
context.Response.Buffer = true;
context.Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
context.Response.BinaryWrite(buffer);
context.Response.End();
}
}
else
{
context.Response.Redirect(
"~/Error/invalid_access.aspx");
}}
in web.config I have the following for form authentication:
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms name="Sample.Web" loginUrl="~/Security/" defaultUrl="~/default.aspx" protection="All" timeout="60" path="/" requireSSL="false" slidingExpiration="true" enableCrossAppRedirects="false" cookieless="UseDeviceProfile" domain="">
</forms>
</authentication>
<authorization>
<deny users="?"/>
</authorization>

In this code Page.User.Identity.Name is null
[Code]....
I thought the Name always was set when user was Authenticated?
If this is not the case, how should I do instead?

Just a quick question i've been asked to look at enhancing security but encrypting passwords we store in a db table, essentially the data thats linked to the user account isnt sensitive however its more to stop someone reading passwords out of the table directly etc
I've read multiple ways of implimenting hashing etc i've started using FormsAuthentication.HashPasswordForStoringInConfigFile
//create new salt and update the password
Hashtable newInfo = new Hashtable();
newInfo["salt"] = GenerateFriendlyPassword(5);
string tmppass = FormsAuthentication.HashPasswordForStoringInConfigFile(txtNewPass1.Text.ToString() + newInfo["salt"].ToString(), "SHA1");
newInfo["passwordHash"] = tmppass;
Generate friendly password returns a 5 char string based on a random position in a valid char array containing a - z and 0 - 9At present the functionality is at page level in the code behind, re this is the forms authentication HashPasswordForStoringInConfigFile function thread safe? Or do i need to look at implimenting this in a different wayCheers appreciate your response as im always jubious about multi threading etc,

I have a login page. Once a user is authenticated they are redirected to another page, (called pg2). I don't want just anyone typing in the url and getting to pg2. If they are not authenticated I want them to redirect to login.aspx. To achieve this, I'm using this code below. But it's not working. I am using a nested master page and I don't know if this is causing the problem.

I am using Forms Authentication in my VS-2005 website.In case of wrong credentials or while explicitly requesting protected pages the website is able to redirect user to login page. However, when correct login credentials are provided the application is not able to redirect the user to the desired page.While debugging I found that 'Request.IsAuthenticated=False' just before I redirect the user to the desired page.While coding I thought that this property will be set to true automatically after I generate the Authentication ticket. So do I need to set it explicitly inside the submit button click on Login page after validation?BTW I have not used the 'GetAuthcookie', 'SetAuthCookie' or 'RedirectFromLoginPage' methods.
I am posting the code inside the submit button click on the Login page as well as the Authentication and Authorization tags in web.config.
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms name=".ASPXFORMSDEMO" loginUrl="~/Login.aspx" cookieless="UseCookies" path="~/"/>
</authentication>
<authorization>
<deny users="?"/>
</authorization>
Protected Sub btnsubmit_click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnsubmit.Click
'here first validate if the user is valid user

I've implemented my custom membership provider. I use third server for authentication (call web method that validates user/password). I need this user/password for retrieve some additional data from this server. Asp.net MVC uses FormsAuthentication and cookie for keep 'login state' by default. It works well when I login on site first time. But when I close and open site again sometime after, cookie keeps it 'login'but I don't have credential for access to server data. I can change cookieless attribute (to 'UseUri' for example) in configure file but in this case I should login again if I open second tab with this app in same browser.My questions:
Is way to call SingOut of FormsAuthentication (remove authentication ticket from browser) when user closes asp.net mvc app?Is secure way to pass user/password data through session? Because server is unstable and interrupt connection often and app should have possibility for silent reconnect.

My client wants 2 separate login pages for an ASP.Net app, one for regular users, one for support staff. I am using the standard FormAuthentication component for authentication. Is it possible to redirect a regular user to one login page after a timeout, and also to redirect an admin user to a different page after a timeout? The loginUrl attribute of <forms> in web.config is read-only, and cannot be edited at runtime.
Regular User -> Timeout -> Login.aspx
Support User ->Timeout -> SupportLogin.aspx

As you can se, I have learned (from google and here in forums.asp.net) that I need to do a FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie but I have one problem....... If I do nothing in the page_load the control doesn't keep me logged in through sessions.Is there anyone who can help me, and either explain og link me to a page, where I can see, how I can get the UserName and Password from the FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie I maid. I also need to know if when I get UserName and Password from cookies andthen redirect to the /Content/Default.aspx page in page_load the system knows (formsauthentication) the user is logged in?

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?
