I use this code to use in login
Code:
FormsAuthentication.HashPasswordForStoringInConfigFile(txtPassword.Text, "SHA1")
My question is how about, i how can convert into a string where it display the user password so that i can send it to the user when he/she forgot it?

View 1 RepliesI have a File Uploader in my ASP.NET application Using C#, we can upload any type like images, documents, pdf etc.
I m storing it in the Filesystem and having only the Name of the File in DB.My doubt is can we store the entire file, images in DB. State me Which is good practice and why we need to use it.
Either file System Storage or SQL DB Storage.
A client is unable to use my webpart because he is behind a proxy server and they need to specify a username and password to get past the proxy. I have this in my config file right now:
<system.net>
<defaultProxy>
<proxy usesystemdefault="False" proxyaddress="http://127.0.0.1:8888" bypassonlocal="True" />
</defaultProxy>
</system.net>
Is there a way to supply a username and password to this proxy setting?
I want to apply some better security measures to an existing web application. Currently, my connection string contains the user name and password in plain text. I'm also using a custom membership provider, which stores user names and passwords in the web.config file as plain text [URL] I would like to secure this information using an algorithm such as SHA1.

I want my login control to authenticate with the credentials given in the web.config file
There are a bunch of hardcoded strings in a ASP.NET application.
eg. string constSetting = "XYZ";
There are a LOT of them. Is there a tool/plugin for Visual Studio 2008 to refactor it in such a way that the constant string goes into web.config and the above line gets replaced by the retrieved string from web.config app settings?
What it best location to store various configuration settings of a web site modules. Creating class (that inherit ConfigurationSection) that map the settings in web.config file?Or creating some DAL and BLL clases that work with database?
View 5 RepliesI would like to store a collection of strings in the web.config. This collection would vary in size over time. I would like to be able to pull all of the strings in the collection into an array or collection in code. (.Net 4, asp.net)
i.e.
<customCodes>
<VendorCode vendorName="Name1" code="1234567891234567891324567987ddd" isActive="true"/>
<VendorCode vendorName="Name2" code="1sadfsadf1234567891324567987ddd" isActive="true" />
<VendorCode vendorName="Name3" code="123456789dfadfdsaf3324567987d32" isActive="true"/>
</customCodes>
I could use appsettings with the strings all in one value but I would like to seperate it out for organizational reasons. Not using the key/value pair complicates things a bit. I am now getting a message that states "you can't have duplicate elements in a section"
We have a large multi tenanted website which requires thousands of lines of web.config to support it. As the system grows we are finding it more and more difficult to manage this configuration file.The system currently in place uses XSLT to generate the config but this solution seems to involve a lot of duplicated code (we have 12 deployment environments).
I am leaning towards putting the configuration data in the db so we can be sure that it's deployed with the application and that our release notes don't require the IT guys messing around with XML
What are better solutions we could use?
I am using Session state in my ASP.NET application. The development is done using InProc session state as the option, but now the application is deployed on a Web Farm(Cluster) environment. As a result, InProc session state is not working.
I have changed the session state mode to SQL server so the session state will work in Web Farm environment. But now i am getting a different error because of some of the objects which i have already used with Session.
Unable to serialize the session state. In 'StateServer' and 'SQLServer' mode, ASP.NET will serialize the session state objects, and as a result non-serializable objects or MarshalByRef objects are not permitted. The same restriction applies if similar serialization is done by the custom session state store in 'Custom' mode.
I understand that every object that is stored in Session needs to be serialized. But there are some objects which are not serializble in DOTNET.
Unfortunately i am using one of them, SiteMapNode. I am storing this object in session to re-create the breadcrumb based on the navigation the user has performed. I have to do this because there are mulitiple paths leading to single page in my application.
I have tried to do serialization of this object using XML serializer object, but its throwing an exception:
"System.Web.SiteMapNode cannot be serialized because it does not have a parameterless constructor."
I can't change the code of storing the SiteMapNode in session as it is very complex and written by someone else. I have to store this object in session or some other state form so that i can continue using the same code.
I am writing an app that has a bit of process flow to it. On the save of a record, I need to check some fields to make sure they are not null. If they are not null, I will update a 'SectionComplete' field to true.
The thing is, I would like to store my fields in the web.config. So, I would like to have a string in the appsettings section that has a list of field names that are required. Then in my method, I would call these fields out and check each one for the specific record id, and then update the database.
I would like to do this in the web.config so we could add/remove columns without having to redeploy.
For example: my required fields are name, id, and phone. For section one to be labeled complete, all of these fields would need to be not null.
web.config would have this entry:
<add key="Stage1Fields" value="name, id, phone"/>
I have implemented Membership and Role Provider in my web site. Membership and Role information is stored in database created from aspnet_regsql option.
I want to store the access rights given to the pages in ASP.NET Configuation option in Database inspite of web.config file and want to give page wise add, edit, view and delete rights that should also be stored in database.
Is there any inbuit class like Membership and Role to add page access rights?
I have one doubt Can we access one web.config file to another web.config file in asp.net
View 6 RepliesI'm preparing to deploy a ASP.NET web application. The target server has already a previous version of my web application with parameters specified on the web.config file.
In the new version of this web application, the web.config file contains new sections I would like they appear into the target web.config file on the server.
However I can't find the way to merge the new web.config sections into the existing web.config file ?
Does I have to do it programmatically, or is there a tool to merge the both files during installation ? (I'm using Web Setup Project).
currently in our application we have an ApplicationConfiguration class. It is basically just a static class with const values specifying certain application-global configuration options. Some of these values will rarely if ever change and are only put into the configuration for elegance/cleanness.
Some of these values though do need to be different between production and development. So I'm considering making this class just a wrapper over Web.config. These values are checked many times throughout our codebase. If I change these from a const to a read-only getter that reads from Web.config will this affect compiler optimizations or make our application in any way slower?
I'm working on an ASP.NET project for the first time in about three years; in the meantime I've been working with Python/Django, PHP and Obj-C. Anyways, picked it right back up... except something that is totally killing me right now, and I have a feeling it must be staring me in the face:
I'm trying to bind to an LDAP server, for the purpose of authenticating users. The way it works here is, you bind on your own credentials, use that to find the Distinguished Name of the user you're authenticating, then you bind again on their DN and their password. If the bind is successful, the password was correct and the user can be authenticated.
Here's the problem - the first bind (on the fixed credentials, the ones with the ability to search for users and their subtrees) works fine. The search works fine. The second bind fails, no matter what, with the LDAP error INVALID_CREDENTIALS. This happens even when completely valid credentials are supplied.
Here's the code, with the usernames and passwords redacted, of course...

View 1 RepliesI have a folder "uploads" at my FTP and I have to upload all the files in that folder using ASP Fileupload control, but I have to use FTP Credentials to upload the files. Earlier I use to do the same action by giving Write Permission to Internet Guest Account (IUSR) on that folder, but now scenario is different. Also what is the different between both methods? Is there any security concern in File Upload using FTP Credentials?
View 3 RepliesDoes anyone know a good tutorial for building a custom login control I've tried looking for one that suits my needs with no success. I want to be able to store credentials and other information in an XML file
View 1 RepliesI'm looking for a way I can store username and password credentials in a web.config file & use these values to re-direct to another web service, once these are authenticated.
The process is as follows:
* User logs into our website with required credentials
* There is a link on our website which invokes a new webservice
* The webservice is a paid for subscribed service (which requires authentication)
* Usually, there is a web form for this type of web service but since we need to steam-line the process from initial application logon, the logon page is not required.
* So when the link on our website is clicked, the new webservice is invoked. Authentication should be done by using the credentials in the web.config file and user is redirected to webservice (avoiding logon page)
Could someone tell me using pseudocode or a small asp.net code example how we could achieve this process?
The key goal is to avoid user going into the Logon page and redirecting directly to the URL for usage of the webservice.
I am working on the application that allows user to upload a file (from their local machine) and store the uploaded file in database.Then,the content of the file (such as ContentType,FileSize etc)can be view in a DetailsView control.
View 1 RepliesCurrently, I work on an ASP.NET project which is hosted under version control and is used on several developer machines, tester machine and production environment.
In three cases, configuration (Web.config) may be different. For example, developer and tester environments use testing SQL Server, whereas in production environment, another SQL Server is accessed, so the connection string is different in those cases.
We want to keep three versions of Web.config in subversion. But modifying each of three files every time we need to add, remove or change a common setting is annoying: it would be nice to have a common, master Web.config, which will be inherited by each of the three Web.config files.
How to set up an ASP.NET project which will use a master configuration file and different slave configuration files on different machines, thus sharing the same project/source code/configuration files in subversion?
