View 16 RepliesFor SqlDataSource I can configure the external source for the incoming paramater. For example it might be a QueryString, Session, Profile and so on. However I do not have an option to use User as a source.
I know that I could provide value for the parameter in Inserting,Selecting,Updating,Deleting events. But I do not think that this is an ellegant solution because I have some parameteres already definied in aspx file. I do not want to have parameters defined in two separate places. It makes mess.
So can I somehow define this parameter in .aspx file?
<SelectParameters>
<asp:QueryStringParameter DefaultValue="-1" Name="ID"
QueryStringField="ID" />
//User.Identity.Name goes here as a value for another parameter
</SelectParameters>
I was wondering how I could use user.identity in a where statement in sqldatasource to return results for a user profile. I already have a table that stores the username. Just need to return it's results.

View 3 RepliesI have implemented Forms authentication in an ASP.NET MVC 2 website
By using <%: Page.User.Identity.Name %> on the Site.Master page I can display the userid of the logged in user.
I would like to use this value and display other information about the user that is stored in a User table in a MsSQL database, like:
<%: GetFirstname(Page.User.Identity.Name) %>
get the below error. My application was working fine until I probably modified something, but don't know what.

View 9 RepliesI tried to use user.identity.name in a master page code behing but intellisense doesn't recognize it.
If I change Inherits masterpage to inherit page then intellisense accepts it. What's going On?
In the IIS, it shows that the web app (i'm using) is using an application pool that uses NETWORK SERVICE account for identity. But when I debug/run my web app, User.Identity.Name shows that my windows user login instead. I checked my web.config file, and it does not have Impersonate enabled. In fact, I set it to false, and it still shows the same.
View 1 RepliesI have this web application where I need the currently logged in windows user Identity. I server on which I deployed this application does not support virtual directories. And I am not sure if that server is configured for "Integrated Windows Authentication."
I tried using:
System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name;
Request.ServerVariables["AUTH_USER"];
HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name;
All these work and retrieve the appropriate currently logged in windows username when the application isn't deployed. But when I deploy it on this particular server, these methods do not give me nothing.
When I use a Master Page with a Content Page, in the Content Page script I find that User object is defined, with Identity and IsInRole properties. However, when I enter script on the Master Page itself User comes up as "not declared".
I am guessing that User is embedded in some namespace that is automatically imported to Content pages, but haven't been able to track it down.
I am using forms authentication and have an issue with a particular browser using the remember me feature. For various reasons I want to support the opera browser that works with the nintendo dsi. I can use forms authentication with that browser just fine but when I use the remember me (cookie) feature I can get through the login but then calls to User.Identity.IsAuthenticated return false. If I do not check remember me it works fine. Initially I thought the browser didn't support cookies but it does. At least I can go to m.gmail.com and check their version of remember me and it works. I can exit the browser and come back in and m.gmail.com remembers me. Also I don't have problems with remember me on any other browser I have tried.
Is anyone aware of some specific browser issue that doesn't work with asp.net forms authentication? I am using asp.net mvc but I doubt that matters.
Is there a simple way to just retrieve the user's name, and not the Domain name, when using this function:
string quizTaker = Page.User.Identity.Name.ToString();
Right now it returns "DOMAIN_NAMEUserName"
I would like to just use isolate and use the user's name, without the Domain name.
i currently work on an asp.net mvc 2 project and noticed that inside an asp.net mvc view page i can get the user name authenticated via User.Identity.Name, but if i try to use the DsiplayFor method in order to display my model from a view user control, it just does not exist. Could i pass this parameter to my model using additional ViewData parameter that comes with DisplayFor html extension?
View 2 RepliesI am having a problem with security in a web application I am building using Visual Web Developer 2008. I am using Forms Authentication:
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms name=".MYAUTH" timeout="20" enableCrossAppRedirects="true" />
</authentication>
And a SQL Server database with ASP.NET Membership and Roles. I am using the LoginView control with the AnonymousTemplate and LoggedInTemplate to manage the user's interaction with logging in and out. The problem I am having is that I am authenticating the user against the database:
If Membership.ValidateUser(_userName, _txtLoginPass.Text)
Then returns True and:
FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(_userName, False)
sets the cookie correctly:
FormsAuthentication.Decrypt(FormsAuthentication.GetAuthCookie(_userName, False).Values(0))
{System.Web.Security.FormsAuthenticationTicket} CookiePath: "/"
Expiration: #1/21/2010 1:42:27 PM#
Expired: False
IsPersistent: False
IssueDate: #1/21/2010 1:22:27 PM#
Name: "jaymo "
UserData: ""
Version: 2
but when I check
HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated it always returns False.
If done this before and it worked fine. I cannot find any mistake I might have made or where something might have changed between ASP.NET 2.0 and 3.5.
What is the best sequence order for Page.IsPostBack and User.Identity.IsAuthenticated? From what I have search for, this comes up most common:
If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
If User.Identity.IsAuthenticated Then
~Some kind of code~
End If
End If
Is this considered "best practice" or can the two items - Page.IsPostBack and User.Identity.IsAuthenticated -be split into their own sections so the fuctions of these can be independent of each other?I am trying to troubleshoot a placeholder that disappears from a master page when a content page button is pressed to change the content pages active view (I have a multiview w/ 5 views inside of it).
i have 10 columns, diffrence user insert (rows)many time, i want to display in page lick this :select Sum where userid=user.identity datetime =date.now and send sum of each columm to 10 labels on page.
View 4 RepliesI have a FormView and the SELECT statement I have is as follows:
SelectCommand="SELECT [UserName], [Full_Name_1], [Full_Name_2], [Email], [Address], [City], [State], [Zip_Code], [Home_Phone], [Cell_Phone] FROM [Homeowners] WHERE ([UserName]='<%$ User.Identity.Name %>')"... but it results in the FormView disappearing from the web page. Note: at the top of the page,
<%= user.identity.name %> displays the name fine, so user.identity.name does contain the info I'm looking for.I am trying to figure out how to correctly format the SELECT filter to feed user.identity.name to the SELECT statement as a filter. ... or if there is an alternative way.
I need to create Unit Tests for an ASP.NET MVC 2.0 web site. The site uses Windows Authentication.I've been reading up on the necessity to mock the HTTP context for code that deals with the HttpContext. I feel like I'm starting to get a handle on the DI pattern as well. (Give the class an attribute of type IRepository and then pass in a Repository object when you instantiate the controller.)
What I don't understand, however, is the proper way to Mock the Windows Principal object available through User.Identity. Is this part of the HttpContext? have a link to an article that demonstrates this (or a recommendation for a book)?
I want to get the user specified in the app pool identity (which for us is a domain user). I want to get this info in Application_Start.
View 2 Replieswhat is the use formsAuthentication.user.identity
is it one of the property of page
I'm not talking about asp.net membership.
For each logged user I want to cache some properties like status or the number of friend requests, from the db.
I can create custom class which would do it but I thought it will be better to extend the existing User.Identity property. Something like this:
Label1.Text = User.Identity.Status;
I use FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(userName.Trim(), false); to set the User.Identity.Name field that I reference later. When I execute this line, the User.Identity object does not update at all; it contains whatever it was previously set to. All the documentation I see online says this should update my User.Identity object with the correct name, but I don't see that happening.
I have the web config set up properly with the following lines:
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms name="formsauth" loginUrl="Login.aspx" protection="All" timeout="60">
</forms>
</authentication>
<authorization>
<deny users="?"/>
</authorization>
am writing a web service in vb.net/asp.net 2, that needs user's name. It works fine when the url request is "www.mysite.com" but if any one has logged-in using "mysite.com" without a "www" and goes to the page that calls my web service, The HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name gives null. How can I resolve this problem?
