WCF - Compatibility Mode And Custom Authentication Using Membership Providers

Oct 26, 2010

To begin with I work on the large application, that has a WinForms client and server. Server in our case is the set of WCF services. There is one service that is responsible for authentication of users. The logic of authentication is custom and complex and authentication service uses different membership providers.

We want to protect the access to server services for non-authenticated users. The users must firstly authenticate and than use other services (users in this case are the other systems, services, WinForms client, etc.). On this basis, we decided to use the ASP.NET Url/File Authorization feature.

So, I set on the ASP.NET compatibility mode, allowed cookie in all binding configurations, added AspNetCompatibilityRequirements attribute to our services and added the followingconfigurations to config:

<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms cookieless="UseCookies">
<credentials passwordFormat="Clear" />
</forms>
</authentication>
<authorization>
<deny users="?" />
</authorization>
...
<location path="AuthenticationService.svc">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="*" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>

In the authenticate method of our authentication service I add the following code:
public AuthenticationResult AuthenticateUser(string username, string password)
{
AuthenticationResult result = new AuthenticationResult();
result = Authenticate(username, password);
if (result.IsAuthenticated)
FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(username, true);
return result;
}

Next, I wrote the following code:

var authClient = new AuthenticationServiceClient();
var result = authClient.AuthenticateUser("user", "password");
var otherClient = new OtherServiceClient();
var temp = otherClient.DoSomething();

But after authentication I can't access to OtherServiceClient...

So, how can I share the call context between the WCF services calls? Could anybody provide some useful articles about this question?

Mixed Mode Authentication Against AD And Fallback To The Database If It Fail With Membership Providers?

Jul 12, 2010

my user will use form authentication against Active Directory or database. Theres no Windows Integrated Authentication there!!

What i want is when the user submit the authentication form, it will try to validate the user against Active Directory and if it fail, try with the database.

How can i do that? What i had in mind was to build a custom membership provider that will encapsulate the logic but im not sure how to start.

C# - Forms Authentication Code-Behind With Custom Role And Membership Providers

Mar 8, 2011

Unfortunately, all the examples for Forms Authentication Code Behind w/ Custom Role and Membership Providers I find online are written with a VB.NET code behind and I need a C# code behind. I need a codebehind that will do the following:

authenticate user upon login button click
if user active_flag=0 (false) OR password!=@password, display error: "Access Denied"
if user admin_flag=1 & active flag=1 (true), redirect to admin_pageszipsearch.aspx
if user admin_flag=0 (false) & active_flag=1 (true), redirect to pageszipsearch.aspx

Default.aspx Code:

<asp:Login ID="LoginUser" runat="server" EnableViewState="false" RenderOuterTable="false">
<LayoutTemplate>
<span class="failureNotification">
<asp:Literal ID="FailureText" runat="server"></asp:Literal>

Configuration :: Deploying Custom Membership And Role Providers Under IIS7

Jul 27, 2010

I have a custom membership provider and a custom role provider in a .NET assembly dll called Qws.Web. The full namespace path to the classes are Qws.Web.Providers.QwsMembershipProvider and Qws.Web.Providers.QwsRoleProvider They both inherit MembershipProvider and RoleProvider respectively When I include the assembly using a project reference in VS2010 it all works fine. The minute I publish the website and project to the staging server (using IIS7) i get the following error: Unable to find the requested .Net Framework Data Provider. It may not be installed. You can see the site at [URL] I've tried all of the usual stuff and been trawling the internet for the last two days.

1. The Qws.Web.dll file IS in the bin folder
2. My Web.Config file is below:

[Code]....

3. The providers are not in the GAC and not in the machine.config file as I only want them available for this site.

MVC :: How To Implement Custom Authentication And Personalization Providers

Mar 24, 2010

i am in the process of developing an asp.net mvc 2 social web app and some of the requirements have to do with users authentication and personalization. Site visitors should be able to login using credentials not only by registering to my site but also by entering external account credentials (Live ID, facebook, etc...). Also, users should have a custom profile, where they could enter personal details, preferences, etc...

Is there any good tutorial on how to implement custom membership and profile providers? The default Role provider that comes with asp.net mvc is ok and does not need to be re-implemented.

I ideally need to be able to add customHeaders through the IIS6 web.config (I however am assuming this won't work)

AJAX :: Reorderlist And The Horrible 'compatibility Mode' In IE8?

Jan 18, 2011

I have created an intranet site that has a reorder list.IE8 defaults to running intranet sites in compatibility mode. My reorderlist does not like this. Basically the drag/drop function goes away.

Now, i have tried adding the <meta
http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" /> but it does not fix it. It fixes most of my issues, but not the drag/drop.If i tell the browser to NOT use compatibility mode, everything seems to work as intended, but there is no way i can force all the users to disable it.

SQL Reporting :: IE8 Cut Table Rows Of A Report In Compatibility Mode?

Mar 8, 2010

We have a problem that in IE8 some of table rows (made by Reporting Services) are cut if compatibility mode of a browser is set to on (exactly a page is cut on bottom and left side and it is not visible). So we have to explain at every customer to disable compatibility mode. Does exist any way to display report page correctly even if a compatibility mode is on? Is this a bug?

HTML - Table Causing IE To Go Into Compatibility View Mode?

Dec 15, 2010

I have a table with 3 rows, each with an ASP.NET panel with a gridview in it. For some reason, this is causing IE8 to go into compatibility view mode. If I change the table to 3 seperate divs, this works but if I use divs some functionality (i.e. max height) doesn't work as it does on tables. I've also tried 3 seperate tables but to no avail.

Iis6 - Application With Windows Authentication And Custom Membership Provider Advice

Feb 15, 2011

I've been asked to upgrade a few applications and I'm planning on merging all of them into one asp.net application. I'm fine with this decision and have spoken with fellow workers and they also think it's the best option to go with.

The application will be accessed from a small group of users which belong to a larger domain. I'm currently planning on using Windows authentication and only allow this small set of users to access the asp.net application. Also there must be some role management, so that only certain users can view certain functionality.

I really don't want to have many different windows groups; so I want to avoid having to assign different windows groups to different folders and control permissions in the web.config.

What I'd like to do is:

- Assign one windows group to the small group of users who will access the page.

- Create a custom membership provider and control the user who accesses the application. Depending on the user I will then assign his current set of roles.

- Add an application setting to the web.config, with the name of the current administrator, so if he logs in, he will be assigned all roles, and will be able to create and assign roles to other users.

Internet Explorer - 'max-height' And Horizontal Scrollbars Causing IE8 To Go Into Compatibility Mode?

Jan 12, 2011

I'm using ASP.NET to have a panel that can expand downwards to a certain point, at which point the user can scroll within the panel, both vertically and horizontally (horizontally because one GridView has a lot of columns which would be impossible to display without horizontal scrollbars in the panel/div)Problem is, if I set the panel (asp:Panel control) that holds the GridView to have Scrollbars="Both", and have a max-height set on the panel, IE8 refreshes into compatibility mode. If I remove the max height, or have only vertical scrollbars, it works fine. Any workarounds for this?

Membership - Two Providers On Site

Aug 11, 2010

Our site has got two ASP.NET membership providers. The built in one, and a custom one (SqlMembershipProvider.

I am able to log into both no problems, but I don't necessary require the ability to have both logged in at the same time.

The issue I have is as follows:

User "person_a@site.com" logs into the built in provider. They then navigate to the section of the site where we require the custom provider.

On this page, I can check if they are authenticated, and get their username. I can then get a MembershipUser object form the custom providers GetUser method. (HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name)

It is possible (and very likely) that the username "person_a@site.com" could also exist in the users for the custom provider.

But, I don't want them to be logged in here, as they haven't authenticated against the custom provider.

So, is it possible to check which proivider HttpContext.Current.User was generated from.

Two Different Membership Providers On The Same Web-solution

Jan 17, 2011

I have built two websites, both of them use a custom membership provider I have written myself.

One of these sites is already a long time online and runs fine. Now I have installed the other site on the same webserver in the same Web as a different application. Also have I given a seperate ApplicationPool for each solution.

If now the client logs on to one site, he looses the session on the other and vice versa. It's not possible to be loged on on both sites together. All the rest works fine.

What is the connection between the two sites. Is it necessary to change something in my membership providers?

Configuration :: Trigger IE9 To Render In Compatibility Mode Negatively Affect Performance On The Server?

Would adding "X-UA-Compatible: IE=EmulateIE7" as an http header to trigger IE9 to render in compatibility mode negatively affect performance on the server? I made the change today, adding it, but now some areas of our site are behaving sluggishly, though we did have a large number of changes come in overnight. I know that we can't single out this as the problem, but my boss seems to think it is.

Dynamic Routes And Membership Providers

Aug 25, 2010

Using the a Membership provider and the MVC framework, is it possible that routes are dynamically changed so that a already logged in user goes to his own page, rather than the default.

At the moment I go to the default. If the user is already logged in or not, there I do a redirect to their own page. This can't be the correct way! Can it?

In RegisterRoutes I have this

routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.MapRoute("Default",
"{controller}/{action}/{id}",
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = "" }
);

Multiple Membership Providers (web.config + Sql)

Apr 1, 2011

I know this question is asked (and answered) a lot already, but I believe my situation is unique.

We are using the ASP.NET SqlMembershipProvider. However, we also have some less-secure content we would like to secure by adding users directly to the web.config, like so...

<forms loginUrl="login.aspx" defaultUrl="default.aspx">
<credentials passwordFormat="Clear">
<user name="user1" password="123" />
<user name="user2" password="456" />
</credentials>
</forms>

Is it possible to use this method alongside a SQL Membership Provider? If so, how?

I know it's bad practice to do this. This is only a stepping stone as we move parts of our website into the asp.net application. We would like some of those password to be easily editable without going to the database.

Security :: Membership Providers Need ConnectionStrings?

Mar 22, 2010

I am writing a login routine that uses a .NET login control and I have a membership provider as well and set it all up in the config file. But I don't plan on using a connection string as I will be calling a web service in my ValidateUser function. Do I need the connection string in the config because it seems to throw an error if I don't have it.

In that case if you need it then wouldn't it be better to treat this membership provider class more as a normal class and just make calls to it directly like any class and not put any setting on my login control and remove the entry from my web.config

DataSource Controls :: Membership Providers - Error

Jun 3, 2010

I am now using SQL Server 2008 EXPRESS x64 on a PC running WINDOWS 7 ULTIMATE x64 bit.

how to configure ASP.Net Membership Providers because I can't attach a database created after this example :

http://aquesthosting.headtreez.com/doc/29423088-74cd-4d51-b2ee-3cb958f08d1a

(I have created runproviders.sql with my Visual Studio x64 Win64 Command Prompt (2010) )

Still now working...

Every time I run ASP.NET Configuration -> Provider -> Select a single provider for all site management data and TEST for

AspNetSqlProvider

I get the following error every time :

"Could not establish a connection to the database.

If you have not yet created the SQL Server database, exit the Web Site Administration tool, use the aspnet_regsql command-line utility to create and configure the database, and then return to this tool to set the provider."

I can tell you for sure that my new created database is working because i used a web page with a CreateUserWizard1 control and I can create new users.Even I can see the new creted user with ASP.NET Configuration -> Security.

I am new to using the membership provider. I have been working in a small shop that has very focused programming and we are starting to venture out as our needs have grown. My question is the following:

Once I have created the asp schema and I set up users. How do I perform database access using those user accounts? I know how to perform access using a database account (schema), but do not understand how to use a user that only exists in a user table to access data tables.

Do I use an anonymous account and control access on the front end?

How to I track audit fields?
