I can get the logged in username from membership system:
// Get user details
var user = Membership.GetUser();
IsLoggedIn = (user != null);
But how do I get things like their avatar, user ID and the rest?
I have designed a navigation structure that is customisable from within my application and linked to the users role.
So I can restrict what menu items a user gets based on their role.
I have managed to do this quite well using SQL Tables and an ASP.Net Menu.
I can get it to only show the menuitems that are marked active and I have created an Stored procedure to get the menu items for a particular role.
Where I am struggling is getting the Logged On Users Roleid to pass it to the Stored Procedure.
I can get it using a regular aspx page but my menu is on my masterpage and I do not want to have to code it in each and every page.
I even tried to do it with a user-control but same happens. It seems that the User class is just not available when in a masterpage.
how I can pass the roleid from a Class or something or from the page to the masterpage?
i have a login form where it validates 'username' and 'password' against a datbase table. After a user logs in, i would like to show their details such as image, name, etc in a detailsview.
View 16 RepliesI new to ASP.net and have created the registration form and login using the wizzard. This data is now stored in the relevent tables provided by asp. I also have created an extra table with profile information like address, phone number etc and a USer ID field that links with the aspnet_users table.
I am trying to display the details of the user when they log in so for example...
User logs on, clicks profile page, profile information can be added and viewed.
Now the problem is I am using a Select statement to get the data but when I do a Where statement im not sure what to put to basically say where userid = current user id logged on.
i have logged in using a login control
how can i transfer the login details to all other pages and how can i logout

View 1 RepliesI have a Asp Mvc 2 site using forms authentication. When I run it locally I can log in and stay logged in indefinitely.
However when I put it on the server I seem to only stay logged in for a few minutes and then seems to be logged out. I have looked at the cookies and there are 2 which seem relevant:
.ASPXAUTH which is a session cookie .ASPXANONYMOUS which expires in 3 months.
When I refresh the page the cookies stay the same until I get logged out, when I seem to get a new .ASPXANONYMOUS cookie, but the .ASPXAUTH seems to be the same. It seems that I might be able to stay logged in until I do something after a certain amount of time. If I submit a form as soon as I am logged in then it works ok, but if I keep submitting data again and again then after a minute or so, one of the submits will happen as a logged out user and not as the user who was logged in, which all the other submits worked as. What might cause this behaviour and how can I track down what is different & change it so that I can stay logged in indefinitely?
its a single server, but after some more investigation and searching the likely candidate seems to be that I am using more than 100mb on the server and the application pool is getting recycled. I suppose now i need to know How can I check how much memory I'm using. What advice there is to reduce that.
When a user logs in, they are redireced to files within members folder. When a user happens to log in and gets redireced, there is the chance they will retype the default page address and go to the homepage, which is accessable to everyone. The issue is, the log in status control shows "Logout". how do I check if a user accesses the homepage, if they are logged in and if they are send them elsewhere. I've tried different codes, but not getting the result. Here is one code I tried...

I know how to identify the current user during a specific browsing session and can thus control the data, etc, made visible to that individual user. I also know how to find out how many users logged in within the recent past, using:
Membership.GetNumberOfUsersOnline()
.... which I believe calculates the number of users who have logged in within the past 15 minutes. However, I would like to know if there is any way to identify all the users who are logged in at a point in time. Is this possible?
I am using ASP.Net Forms based security with the login control. On my site a user will make a number of selections that will be written to a database. Is their a unique user id that I can get from the AspNetSqlProvider that I can use to id users in my database? When a user logs back in after being away I want to be able to retireve the users information using this id.

I used [URL] as a guide and have something configured to show me the users which are logged into the system. This uses the aspnet_Users.LastActivityDate column to see when someone last did something on the system. It also uses the userIsOnlineTimeWindow within the web.config to determine whether a user is online or not.
But because of this userIsOnlineTimeWindow limitation of .NET, even when someone logs out of the system or closes their browser window, the system still sees them as being online. Also, if they are on a page and don't do anything for 10 minutes, the system will show them offline until they refresh their page or go to another page. know of a better, more real-time way to tracking users which are logged in, logged out, etc?
I don't want to wait 10 minutes for the system to show that a user is offline and also if there's 10 minutes of inactivity, it shows them being offline.
I have created a simple ASP.Net page to create self printable tickets so non-technical people can change the text and layout of a ticket. Obviously the user has to be logged in to be able to print their tickets.
When providing the URL for wkhtmltopdf to convert, the tickets are not created because wkhtmltopdf does not have a session to prove the user is logged in.
Is it possible to pass the session to wkhtmltopdf in the URL, or is their a better solution?
I have a web application using Forms authentication provided by AD. I would like to know if it's possible to use EWS to send mail as the currently logged in user without having to supply credentials, or; would I be required to set up an account with impersonating access which will send mail on behalf of the currently logged in user?
View 1 RepliesI developed a website in asp.net,c# and SQL server2000. In each and every page I want to show the logged in users name with green color text.
I used Forms authentication.
I have basic login functionality implemented using SQL Server and the LoginView, LoginStatus, and LoginName controls.I have two roles defined: one for Administrators and one for Users.I have two users defined, one for each role. I would like to redirect those authenticated as users to one page and those authenticated as administrators to another. Do I need to define RoleGroups to do this? Is there a good, basic way to accomplish this? I'm not sure what to do next.
View 3 RepliesI have created a simple website in asp.net using forms authendications but when I publish my website in IIS 6 on a Windows Server 2003 machine it keeps the users logged in for ever even though I have set the web.config to expire after 30 min. My website has 2 pages a login.aspx and a home.html. When I run the website in my development machine using the ASP.NET Development Server I have no problem the website works as expected meaning the users can not access the home.html unless the have been authendicated by the login.aspx page.
Also once loged in, after clearing the browser cookies the web site asks for login again which is again the behavior that I am trying to accomplish. However once the website is on IIS does not take in account the authendication that I have set up on my web.config. What is overriding my web.config? Do I need to make some changes to the global configuration of IIS?
I have a site where the admin can log in to make changes to his content, but while making changes (using a specific asp.net control) with no page loads or callbacks while editing, the user is sometimes being logged out.
I want to increase the time it takes for the system to wait before logging-out inactive users.
I'm using the standard membership provider.
How do I keep the pages from time out when users are logged in?

I have a web application with a login form. A user enters a user name and password. If they exist in the database the user is authenticated using these two lines:
[Code]....
The problem is that when a user logs in at first he is logged in as himself. When navigating on the web application for a while the user assumes the identity of another logged in user. This happens all the time. In my web.config the authentication mode looks like this:
[Code]....
The site does not use ASP.NET session variables. Instead each page initializes a Singleton class, which stores itself in a static class variable, always accessing the users data already read from the database. The Singleton implementation is:
[Code]....
Could the problem with assuming another logged in users "session" be related to static classes in my application or a Forms Authentication configuration or a configuration in IIS (e.g. is it possible for users to have their own process?).
Can anyone tell me how to detect when a users session has exipred in asp? I want to redirect users to a logged out page once the session has expired.
