User.IsInRole Returning False Using Windows Authentication
Mar 15, 2010
My ASP.NET app is using windows authentication. If I run the following code:
WindowsIdentity wi = (WindowsIdentity)User.Identity;
foreach (IdentityReference r in wi.Groups)
{
ListBox1.Items.Add(r.Translate (typeof (NTAccount)).Value);
}
if (User.IsInRole ("Everyone"))
Label1.Text = "Is in role";
The listbox will contain the name of every group the user belongs to. If I then call User.IsInRole, and pass in the name of any of those groups, I always get a false.

In our code, we have to give the users a list of printers to choose from. The user then chooses a printer and it is checked to verify it is valid before printing. On a windows 2003 server with IIS 6, this works fine. On a windows 2008 server with IIS 7, it fails each time impersonate is set to true.
PrinterSettings printerSetting = new PrinterSettings();
printerSetting.PrinterName = ddlPrinterName.SelectedItem.Text;
if (!printerSetting.IsValid)
{
lblMsg.Text = "Server Printer is not valid.";
}
else
{
lblMsg.Text = "Success";
}
Each time this code is run, the "Server Printer is not valid" displays, only if impersonate is set to true. If impersonate is set to false, the success message is displayed. The impersonation user has full rights to the printer. Is there a way to catch the actual reason the printer is not valid? Is there some other 2008 setting I should check? update I found that IsValid fails when the IIS7 application pools has "Enable 32-bit applications" is checked. This must be checked b/c we are using a 3rd party tool to print with, and it is a 32-bit application. It is not currently part of this test, so right now it is not causing this error.

Environment is IIS 7 integrated pipeline, ASP.NET 4.0. I have a .aspx page configured without anonymous authentication and with windows authentication:
<location path="auth/windows">
<system.webServer>
<security>
[code]...
When I request the page, a normal Windows auth (NTLM/Negotiate) challenge response happens, and ultimately the page is returned.I have an HttpModule in which I handle the PostAuthorize event. As expected, this event is only raised once the challenge-response authentication has succeeded and access to the page has been authorized.However, the Request.IsAuthenticated property is false; and HttpContext.Current.User.Identity reflects an unauthenticated user (.Name returns the empty string). Interestingly, Request.ServerVariables["LOGON_USER"] does return the value of the authenticated Windows user.I'd have thought that once the user was authenticated (and authorized, for that matter), the request would reflect being authenticated; and the User / Identity for the request would have been properly set.

I'm securing an ASP.NET MVC 2 application, and I have a user who is in the role "Foo".
This is true:
User.IsInRole("Foo")
But yet, when I attempt to lock down a controller action like the following, the user is denied:
[Authorize(Roles = "Foo")]
public ActionResult PrivatePage()
{
return View();
}
If IsInRole reports true, why would the Authorize attribute not allow the user in?

My website has a "charts" menu item that lets you choose from about a dozen pages each with a different chart in them. Each one of these pages uses the same nested master page which has some drop-down lists and text boxes to let the visitor do some filtering of what data shows up in the charts (I do this by building SQL statement parts in the nested master page and triggering an event that the chart page reacts to).
Anyway, One of the DropDownList controls shows the names of everyone in the Company (I use MembershipProvider and RoleProvider). What I want to is have the DropDownList show a different collection depending on the role that the visitor is in; If the visitor is in the "Principal" role, I want them to see everyone. If they are not in that role, I want them to get only their own name.
I expect I'd have to do this in code-behind... But thought I'd check to see if anyone knows if it is possible to have an "IF" statement in the SQL DataSource for this control that can refer to the role that the current logged-in user belongs to

In IIS 7.5 server I have a website apps.mydomain.com. Site binding for this website is:
IP: All Unassigned
Port: 80
Host name: apps.mydomain.com
In DNS there is an ip address pointing to apps.mydomain.com. Site comes up fine when browsing to this hostname.
I want to get current windows logged in username from asp.net web apps. I enabled windows authentication and disabled anonymous. Using this ASP.Net code to test:
Response.Write(Page.User.Identity.Name);
However, browsing to http://apps.mydomain.com/site/ the application pool identity shows as the Page.User.Identity.Name value and not the current windows logged in username.
If I browse to http://servername/site/ then Page.User.Identity.Name will return current windows logged in username.
Is there something else I need to configure to get the current windows logged in username when using host header?
web.config:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<system.web>
<authentication mode="Windows"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>
App pool config (left out "handlers" for brevity, there's a 30000 char limit):

We have an ASP.NET Web App, where we want to provide a link 'Sign in as a different user' on a page. Authentication mode is Windows. Went through a couple of articles (like setting the statuscode =401). We want to authenticate the user, and then redirect him to a specific page (say 'ReviewTask.aspx');

I am working on an application that uses windows authentication. Within this application, we give the user the ability to change their password. The user can change the password just fine. However, after they change their password, that is when things get weird. Sometimes they can navigate through the application just fine. Other times, they click on a link and are immediately prompted to supply credentials. Occasionly they can click on a link but upon a second click they are prompted to supply credentials. Does the browser keep a token to the original credentials and use this when they request the next page? If this is the case, why can i continue using the site sometimes? Can I change the password and then assign that token to the request?

I am evaluating ASP.NET Membership for an intranet Silverlight app. I want users to be automatically authenticated for my application with their windows logon. Thus I configured Windows Authentication. I would like to store user settings like email-address in using the SqlMembershipProvider and not AD. It seems that storing user settings using the SqlMembershipProvider is not supported with Windows Authentication. Is this really so (using .NET 4)?
If so: What is the rationale behind this? IMHO authentication, user settings and authorization are distinct aspects. User settings could easily be stored (identified by user name) using the SqlMembershipProvider with authentication and password management being supplied by Windows. What is the recommended solution for my scenario?

I 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?

I am working in an ASP.NET MVC Application. I have a view model as follows:
[code]....
From UI Perspective user can enter date as mmddyyyy. And when user enters in such format 01012001, my ModelState.IsValid code piece in controller returns false. When I did a quick watch in ModelState, I see an error for the propery "SampleDate", saying "The Value 01012001 is not valid for SampleDate".
In my modelbinder, during the OnModelUpdated event I tried to format the value 01012001 to 01/01/2001 and assigned it back to SampleInterestViewModel.SampleDate thinking that ModelState.IsValid might return true without that error. But still ModelState.IsValid is false and I when I looked in to the ModelState dictionary, this particular property still has that errors in its collection.
Lastly I tried to format 01012001 and update the value 01/01/2001 directly to the Property SampleDate in the ModelState dictionary. But still ModelState.IsValid is false showing the same error for the SampleDate property. Can't figure out why ModelState.IsValid works and how and when it gets set to false.
If the User enter 01012001 in the UI, I still need to format it in the modelbinder to 01/01/2001 and make sure that ModelState.IsValid it true so that the rest of my controller code can work as expected. In the UI I am doing an AjaxSubmit to post the sampleDate value.
