So it compiles, unfortunately when I run my app, it get this:
Parser Error Message: Could not create Windows user token from the credentials specified in the config file. Error from the operating system 'Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.
I hope someone has a good answer to this stupid question I have. I'm trying to use impersonation in my asp.net 3.5 application within the web.config file to connect to my sql server 2008 database so I use:
When I run my app, I get this:
Configuration Error
Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.
Parser Error Message: Could not create Windows user token from the credentials specified in the config file. Error from the operating system 'Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.
Source Error:
impersonate="true" userName="testUser" password="test(ampersand sign, this forum actually does render it properly)amp;test" />
So basically it posts the password with the actual escape for ampersand rather than the actual ampersand. This leads me to believe it's processing it as a literal but validating it as xml, unfortunately I can't just use "test&test" in the web.config file because visual studio just won't compile it since it's marked as an error.
I need to be able to navigate through the file system from an asp.net page and gather metadata on files, directories ... The simple code I've put together makes a list of directories/files in a given location and has everything displayed as a link button. My problem is with link buttons under which I have paths that include ampersands and blanks. Here's a sample of code:
[Code]....
The Response.Redirect("aPage.aspx?d="+ e.CommandArgument.ToString()); line has the problem ... the e.CommandArgument.ToString() shows a truncated path that stops just before the first ampersand detected. I tried escaping the ampersand with a backslash but it did not work ... somehow I guess it's not exactly the character that's causing the problem ..
Assume the above contents resides in a file. I want to write a snippet that removes any line which has empty string "" and put escape character before the middle quotations. The final output would be:
The outer " .... " is not considered special chars. The special chars may be single quotation or double quotation. I could run it via find and replace feature of Visual Studio. However, in my case i want it to be written in c# or VB.NET
However, the password (which I cannot change) contains an ampersand. ASP.NET throws: Configuration Error: An error occurred while parsing EntityName. Line XX, position YYY.
If I replace the ampersand in the password with &, I get a SqlException: Login failed for user 'myUser'. Usually this trick works, but I'm guessing that something is failing because this is technically a connection string inside a connection string.
What should I do here? Most of my classes include code like:
using (var context = new MyEntities()) { // do work }
Update: It turns out that the credentials I am using are a domain account, so what I really need is Integrated Security=True in the connection string rather than a password.
Encoding the ampersand as indicated in the accepted answer should work fine, though I haven't tested it.
I need to pass the credential of the logged in user to the DB, which is on a different server, is it that Impersation can only work if the DB is on the same machine as the web server? How can I flow the credential to the the server?
My Windows Server 2008 server hosts an ASP.net application that uses impersonation. The application works as long as the user being impersonated remains logged on to the server. However, when the user logs off, clients can no longer view the web pages. They get a cryptic error instead. How can I configure the server to work without the impersonated user remaining logged on?
My ChangePassword method returns a boolean value indicating whether the change of password has been successful or not. When the user enters a new password, I want to check if the password length is at least 8 and there is at least one non-alphanumeric character(both these parameters specified in the web.config file). If I want to check in my code if the password entered is at least 8 characters, I would write some code like this:
if(newpassword.Length !=8) { //do something }
Like the Length property, is there some property that can check if the password contains at least one non-alphanumeric character?
I have a textbox in which I want to be enter normal character as well as password character like *****6789.
My TextBox accept 9 character in which 5 will not be readable and when user will type it will show * and last 4 character will be display as it is. suppose I have enter 123456789 and so it should be display like *****6789 and suppose I delete 5 character 5 so 6 should be come into 5th place and it will be convert to non readable (*) like *****789.
How I can achieve such functionality for my Textbox in aspx or in JavaScript

I am a new to WCF. I have written ajax to use a web service before, but on this project I am trying to use ajax to WCF.After I build the project and wcf using ajax, I receive the return successfully. But, 10 or more minutes later I don't get a return, the ajax calls the error function, and the fiddler returns nothing.
If I rebuild the project without any source modifying, I receive the return successfully again.
I have this code for changing a user's password when they click the password reset button (with extra code to log to ELMAH so I can try to figure out what is going wrong).
This is in ASP.NET MVC 2, using the standard aspnet membership provider, with a simple View like this:
New Password: ______ Confirm Password: ______ [Reset] [Cancel]
The route to this view is `/Account/Reset/guid`, where guid is the user's id in the aspnet membership database.
The key portion of the code is where it calls `user.ChangePassword()`. You can see that it logs a message when successful. The problem is that for some users, the success message is logged, but they can not log in with the new password. For other users it logs the success message and they can log in.
if (user.ChangePassword(pwd, confirmPassword)) { ErrorSignal.FromCurrentContext().Raise( new Exception("ResetPassword - changed successfully!")); return Json(new { Msg = "You have reset your password successfully." }, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet); }
The full code listing is:

Edit: Adding a bounty to try to get this solved. This is one of the most annoying problems on my issue list, and I have no idea how to proceed.
I keep getting an error saying invalid character in asp.net for the following query below, however that error doesnt exist in my pl/sql developer oracle. see code below
[Code]....
I think it has to do with my commit, hence how I do include commit in an update directly in the asp.net side.
On the website I am working on it has been deployed but the problem I am facing is that when I enter a username and password and click on the check box to remember...It remembers the password for sometime.. wen I login in after 5 or 10 minutes it remembers the password but aftr a long period of time like about 2hours it forgets the username and password and i have to type it in all over again... this dint used to happen with the old server as even I could sign in and it remembered the password the next day until i log off... what can be the reason
I have the following code. I simply want to select the security question and answer from the DB and do something if the result is true.
This is my code:-
[Code]....
This code always returns the result of "Invalid User Credentials", so this means it does not recognize the values from the DB. When i put something in that SHOULD match i still get the same. I dont get an error message but the logic here is to select security question and answer where the question is equal to the dropdown box and the answer is equal to the textbox. If there is a match then do something..
But this does not work..
You can see what i mean here:-
[URL]
If you select "What street did you grow up in?" from the dropdown and then put in "deeplish" in the security answer, the result should be "**EXISTS".
I have an ASP.Net 4.0 application that is using Forms Authentication and ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider. It authenticates against Active Directory running on Windows Server 2008 R2.I use ChangePassword control for changing passwords.When the user changes the password he can log on for some time with the old password. My client feels this is a security problem with the application. Is there any way to make sure the old password does not work after the user changes it?Also, if I do iisreset on the web server, the old password stops working. The password must be cached somewhere in the web app.

I have a question about watermark extender. I used it to apply to a password textbox and confirm password textbox with password text mode. I found some site recomending using picture so that the word "Password" and "Confirm Password" will be shown in the textbox. For some reason, in the confirm password textbox, the picture doesn't show correctly. It is like some part is omitted. I try to check on my local computer and it was fine. But when I check on my computer at home. I got that weird problem. Why is it like that?
I use access membership prvider and it works. but I am unable to recover passwork. It says that "" membership provider doesn't support to get and zero password." It gives me the error in turkish and I translated it. Something like that. I am using the below code;
By default the Password Recovery control requires the username to send the user the login details. Is there any way I can configure it to work with either the log in name and email address or failing that just email address?
I am trying to save an updated xml file to a url like this:
