how can i maintain session between domain and subdomains.
i have a master page in my domain say [URL] which collects username and then i redirect it to subdomain.mydomain.com, then how can i retrieve the value from the session in the subdomain Master page.
I have two websites (domain and subdomain), something like this: www.website.ro and en.website.ro and I am trying to share a cookie between them. I have set the cookie domain to "website.ro", I tried setting it to ".website.ro", but it doesn't work. I can only read the cookie in the website that created it.
View 5 RepliesSuppose this is my website url: http://www.mydomain.com. And I have created one subdomain name as http://img.mydomain.com.
Now I want to upload image from my site http://www.mydomain.com to my subdomain http://img.mydomain.com through code.
Is it possible to upload image from website to subdomain?
I have also installed SSL on a subdomain. I have put payment page under this sub domain.
View 4 RepliesI would like to know the method of passing session variables/values to a subdomain from the main website.For eg : Upon user login, I would like to set some session variables and redirect the page to a subdomain URL.
How can this be done? fyi... I have setup two websites in IIS. One is localhost and the other is subdomain.localhost
So, If I want to retrieve the session values in subdomain.localhost (which points to a specific folder in the app), how should I go about it?
i want to maintain session data between two applications or domains [URL]. I have read on net about this, but many people pointing many different ways to do it, with people commenting +ve and -ve responses to all. Plus many are just providing theoretical answer, do this and that ,but no code at all. are these steps all that is required?
1) in web.config: <httpCookies domain=".[URL]"/>
2) store session data in sql DB as:(after preparing the db for storing sessions)
<sessionState mode="SQLServer" sqlConnectionString="Data Source=YourServer;
Integrated Security=True;database=MySessionDB" sqlCommandTimeout="30"
allowCustomSqlDatabase="true"/>
<machineKey decryption="AES" validation="SHA1" decryptionKey="..." validationKey="..." />
3)Am confused about this one: i want to set the domain for the session cookie like this
Response.Cookies["ASP.NET_SessionId"].Domain = ".[URL]";
But where should this code be written?
this entry: [URL]says: use System.Web.SessionState.SessionIDManager as a base class but the SaveSessionID method is not virtual so cannot be overridden. Options are: either explicitly re-implement the interface method or decorate SessionIDManager class and after calling SessionIDManager.SaveSessionID set Response.Cookies[SessionIdCookieName].Domain to our domain.
Only if the author had provided real code, step 3 would have been clear. Plus all this 3 steps enough to share session among the domains?
In my website, when user logged in, I maintain his/her username in a session but when user opens another tab and use the same website at that time session doesn't work.
For Example: User logged in with his/her details in my website and than when he open another tab of same browser and browse same website at that time it doesn't maintain session for that user.
We're doing a whitelabelled version of our site, which will be hosted at foo.ourdomain.com.
However we need to ensure session is maintained between www.ourdomain.com and foo.ourdomain.com, as our SSL certificate only covers the main domain.
In practice this means we'll swap to the main domain on our payment pages, which run HTTPS, and then redirect back to the subdomain, after payment.
So the question is: How do we maintain the session when doing so ?
I've tried with <httpCookies domain=".ourdomain.com" /> in web.config to no avail :-(
Edit: Figured it out now, I lacked domain on my <forms /> tag to handle login properly.
I am using master page.
(1) to maintain the state of the treeview without storing it in session or view state or
(2) I am binding the treeview control dynamically from a xml. Even if I use session state is ther any option to use it without using SelectedNodeChanged event because when u click the treeview node , first master page will postback for this event and then the child page and then again the master page will post pack (as the child page has inherited the master page). So here in this case we are posting the master page twice and it is reducing the performance.

View 6 Replieshow can i do this? At the moment a user's session is lost whenever they close the browser, but sites like facebook have a 'keep me logged in' option. How does this work exactly and are there any well known ways to do this in .net? i understand part of the way it works is that they store the username in a cookie.
View 4 RepliesI'd like to maintain a session state per browser tab.
Is this easy (or even possible) to do in ASP.NET?
Example: A user hits Ctrl-T in firefox 5 times and visits the site in each tab. I'd like each tab to have its own session state on the server
I have two identical applications setup on IIS on different virtual directories (I have done some workaround to ensure that they both have the same application name). Is there a way to share session id across two asp.net web applications?
Since I'm storing the session in StateServer, they should both be getting the same session data, however, a different session id is created everytime I go from application a to applicatino b. Wouldn't this happen in a load balancing scenario as well? Where when I go to www.test.com, it would redirect that request to server a, and then if I hit it again, it would go to server b, but since it's a different web application, it would create a new session id?
What I want to do is take traffic that is going to shop.mywebsite.com and redirect or rewrite (I'm not sure of the terminology) the domain to be www.mywebsite.com/shop. Both shop.* and www.* are separate web applications (nopCommerce and Umbraco respectively) that don't seem to cooperate when I've tried to nest them. Both applications are in a Server 2008 R2/IIS 7.5 environment.
I've searched around stackoverflow and what I've found is a lot of answers to mapping the other direction (ie subfolder to a subdomain) but that's not what I'm looking for as far as I understand the problem.
The end goal is to combine the SEO reputation of the shop subdomain into the www subdomain. I readily admit that I might have this all backwards and am willing to try any suggestions I'm offered.
I have an app with multiple subdomains, subone.parent.com, subtwo.parent.com.
I have a logon page at parent.com/login. When a user logs in I redirect them to the proper domain based on which one they are a member of. This works fine.
FormsAuthenticationTicket ticket = new FormsAuth...
string encTicket = FormsAuthentication.Encrypt(ticket);
var cookie = new HttpCookie(FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName, encTicket);
cookie.Domain = subone.parent.com
Repsonse.Cookies.Add(cookie)
This properly authenticates the user for subone.parent.com and not subtwo.parent.com. However I would like to do the following.
If the user goes back to parent.com, I would like to know that they are logged in and redirect them back to subone.parent.com.
Is there a best practice for accomplishing this? Or do I have to set another cookie for parent.com?
I'm working in asp.net mvc if it matters.
We have an external site which the users in our company connect to by giving their corresponding username and password. The external site is an ASP.NET website. We want to integrate this website into our intranet portal so that the users don't have to enter their UN/Pwd to login to the website. Since the target website has no provision for SSO, we are simulating the POST request to login.We are now required to perform an action after the initial login is done, on an another page. We can simulate the corresponding POST request as well
View 1 RepliesWhat is the standard way to maintain a stable user session in ASP.NET without worrying about IIS recycles, disconnected users, re-opening browsers and so on. I would like for our users to not have to login except once per month, whatever happens!
Also does it matter if I am using my own login control (not the standard asp.net login control)? If I understand correctly, I think I would need to create an authentication ticket manually.
I have a requirement where i need to download mutiple files as a single zip file.There is linkbutton named HOME as well in the page. when this linkbutton is clicked it should redirect to homepage.aspx. I found a ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.dll in net and used in my website. Here is the code
[Code]....
With the above code i got the expected result i,e. i can zip the files and save on client system. But the problem is after saving/canceling the zip file if user clicks on linkbutton in the page_load event Session[getdata] became null. there is no data in Session. what might be the problem? Actually it should redirect to homepage.aspx but its going to login.aspx because Session[getdata] is null.

View 5 RepliesI am developing a web application. This application is fully customised based on the user settings. Suppose, application hosted on [URL] and user can signup on the website and it will get the domain like [URL] and for user2 will be [URL] so and so forth. so in this case how would I maintain the session for each user? each user will be representing a single website along with public interface and admin pages.
what I am thinking is to store all the setting (for each user) in the database and then when ever server received request then get the user info from the URL (first time only and after get it from the session) and get user details but I am not very much satisfied with this approach.
I have added code in web.config file for session of 2 hours.
<sessionState mode="InProc" cookieless="false" timeout="120"></sessionState>
It works on local but when the code is published session expires in just 10-15 minutes.
I'm trying to use sub-domains in my ASP.NET website but I'm coming across a few problems with the session being reset.
I've edited my hosts file to have 'localhost', 'one.localhost' and 'two.localhost'. I can go to any of these URLs and do what I need to do and login to my system. The session mode is defined as follows in the web.config:
<sessionState cookieless="false" mode="SQLServer" timeout="300"
sqlConnectionString="Data Source=MyDatabase;user id=User1;password=pass"/>
I'm using SQLServer as the website will be ran as a webfarm.
What I'm finding is when I click something that causes a postback all the session is lost and a new session id is created, when this occurs my website is now 'localhost' rather than the logged in 'one.localhost' for example.
