I am trying to create a function that will automatically log a client in using VB.The code below successfully gets the authentication cookies but when I add the cookies to the resultant response code I just get the OWA login page.
[Code]....
Actually i want to to open new website such as gmail.com and i have username and password of that login.... now i want to do direct login without fill username and password box
all this is done on single click of button which is on my website..
Is it possible to log the user automatically into a third-party website if we have their details on record? For example, if I had a users facebook/hotmail username/password stored in my database, is it possible to use these details to log them into facebook/hotmail, then open up facebook/hotmail.com with them already logged in?
Basically my Client uses Basecamp for their customers and wants a way of automatically logging his customers into basecamp from their website without them having to go through the trouble of logging in again (after they've already logged in through my clients website).
i have a query regarding Sessions in ASP.Net. The scenario is:
My web application is for Mobile Phone. The default session timeout is 20 minutes. There is an option of "Remember Me", on checking which, the application also stores the permanent cookie whenever user signs in.
Now the requirement is that if the user has logged in with the "Remember Me" option checked and the session has expired due to inactivity for more than 20 minutes and then he tries to do some activity, the user should not be redirected to the login page.
In the sense, the process of authentication should be skipped. It should be taken care of by the application and the user should directly continue with his work. But also if the user signs out, then he should be redirected to the login page for authentication.
Now, the scenarios I can think of are:
1). A check can be made that if user has checked "Remember Me" the authentication process should be skipped so whenever session expires and user do some activity, the authentication part can be done automatically and he will continue with his work. But in that case, once a user has signed in with "Remember Me" option checked, he would never be able to Sign-out unless he deletes his cookies.
2). Refresh(reset) session as soon as it comes to expire. But then its against the requirement.
3). Use of some kind of flag which can be set to some value that states that there was a session time-out. This is the closest option according to me if I get to know how can this flag be used in the application. As if I make it as an Application Variable then it will change with every user's activity and be same for all users. Same is the case with static variable.Is there any other option available?
We currently have two applications that will be using this. One is a web application, the other a desktop app. Both of these require users to login/authenticate, the same credentials can be used for either application.I want to build an automatic login mechanism that will fill in all the various login/order details and be able to call this from either app mentioned above. I've been thinking that the best way to do this is to pass this information encrypted through the URL. ie https://mysite.com/TakePayment.aspx?id=GT2jkjh3....
Since we don't want to integrate the payment processing too tightly into the desktop app to reduce our PCI scope, we decided to have it open the browser to a central, secured payment page through a simple shell execute with the full URL causing the default browser to open that page.Originally we were using AES for the encryption, but this is currently being re-examined as we would prefer not having to give out the key to the end user (AES is symmetric, symmetric encryption = both parties need the private key, why bother even encrypting then since we're going to be distributing the app?) So I'm looking at switching it over to use Public Key Encryption with the built in RSA routines within .NET
After coding up the RSA portion I noticed most examples on the net used 1024bits for the key-length, I went with this and now have our portal working with public key encryption, however the URLs generated are much much longer than when I was using AES so it made me start researching what the max limits for URLs are. http://www.boutell.com/newfaq/misc/urllength.html Says that IE is the limiting browser at about 2048 characters in the path portion. My initial tests with the RSA encryption show my urls will be around 1400 chars long.My questions boil down to this:1) Is there a better way for passing information from a desktop app to a website that I'm not thinking of? I'd prefer it be just as easy to use from another web page as it is from the desktop, hence my current solution.2) Is 1024 bit RSA keys necessary? Or overkill for something like this? A shorter key would mean shorter encrypted text right?3) Are there any other unforeseen problems with URLs in the 1200-1400 character range? Proxies? Firewalls? Web-Accelerators?

View 5 RepliesIs it possible to have multiple login pages for different folders within an asp.net application? Say I have this structure:
/admin
/customer
/login-admin.aspx
/login-customer.aspx
I have 2 different login forms. One for the admin people and one for the customers (the forms are different as the customers need to provide extra information on their login page).
In the authentication section of the webconfig file (which is at the root of the web app), I can only specify one Login page. So how can I make sure thaf if anyone tries to access a webpage in /admin they will be redirected to /login-admin.aspx and if they try to access a webpage in /customer they will be redirected to /login-customer.aspx ?
I have one Login control converted into template to customize it. besides two default input text boxes(username, and password), I have added one more as per my need.
the two default controls are easily accessible from underlying code file but I cant take a reference to the control I have added inside Login control. this control is not available in this scope neither directly nor as child control.
I simply want to take reference to this child control.
i have a problem with forms authentication. i have a website and want to restrict access to an especific folder. i want the access to this folder be made via the login form this is what i have in the web.config
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms name="Compra" loginUrl="wfLogin.aspx" path="/" protection="All" timeout="30" />
</authentication>
<authorization>
<allow users="*"/>
</authorization>
Then this to restrict folder
<location path="Admin">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<deny users="*"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
the problem is that when the user login with valid information the website return to the login form.

The css is in the Styles folder and the UserInfo is the registering page. Before I log in, no css is applied to the Login.aspx and UserInfo.aspx
Could it have something to do with the processes that build the page or have I done something wrong in the web.config?

2) Maintaining Session (w/successful login), do an additiional GET to retrieve the RSS feed.
I am doing this in an ASP.Net page so it all happens server side in VB.Net
I have a site where users can register an account. To do this they have to enter various details about themselves (Name, DOB, Email Address, Password, Username etc..).
However, I would like them to just have to enter their Facebook username/password, and have all this information pulled from their Facebook user account.
How is this possible using ASP.NET 2.0?

View 7 RepliesI'm currently messing around in Access to develop a website, or I should say - develop the initial workings of a database system in an environment that I am familiar with. As the .Net environment is the one I am most familiar with for developing, deploying the Access database into the more full-fledged SQL Server environment is a natural step. Now comes the part with ASP.Net that I'm not so familiar with - reconciliating differences between how I am coding and designing my database with the default website project that ASP.Net provides for a basic multi-user website, from which I've noticed is a lot more thorough than any solution I could code up within a reasonable time-frame.
However, this comes at a cost. I have no inkling on how user data is stored within this environment or how to extend it within my own needs. I can make sample data up the wazoo on my laptop, but if I have no idea how to incorporate with a pre-existing framework, it is worthless to me. The reason why I have not considered this until now is the data I have been working on doesn't pertain to the users in a direct fashion. Anyone have experience designing websites that use ASP.Net and maintain user access? What problems, issues, and design considerations might I need to concern myself when developing a multi-user website with ASP.Net in addition to my data?
I need to create functionality for the users to add customer info (first, last name, address, e-mail) to MS Outlook (checking for duplicates first). Is it possible at all? Keep in mind that users have all kinds of OS on their computers: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7.

View 1 RepliesI am having text formatting problem with Outlook 2007 since it is taking different rendering engine i.e word 2007. In our application, we are sending mails to different clients who have Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007. We have used CSS in our application for formatting.
1. Since I have created Tables and given width in Percentage to every <TD> but while rendering in outlook 2007, every table taking different widths depending on the no. of the columns. Due to this reason, formatting is getting distored. Outlook 2003 shows proper output.
2. In our aspx page, I have created DIV tag with Style attributes having Property as Display:none. But in Outlook 2007, DIV tag is visible. Due to this, unwanted Warning messages also getting displayed in the outlook 2007.
Anyone who has any idea on whether i can load a webform in the outlook, your insights are required. Till now a link was provided in the mail which the customers click to go to the form.But is is possible to load the webform directly in outlook 2003.
