C# - Custom RoleProvider Not Working When Deployed To Web Apps Bin Directory?
Apr 4, 2011
I have created custom membership and role providers for a SharePoint web application.
If I deploy the DLL for these classes into the GAC, the membership/role provision works just fine. If I deploy these DLLs to the web application's bin folder in IIS, the web app bails with a server error immediately when browsing to the site.
Parser Error Message: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.
If I view source on the error page I get a bit more info:
in my web application i'm using CultureAndRegionInfoBuilder to Register and UnRegister my custom culture and it is working fine when i run theapplication from VS2008 IDE but not when i deploy to IIS. It's giving the error meesage "Register Method failed
I have a web application that accesses a database through a wcf service. The idea is to abstract the data from the web application using the wcf service. All that works fine but I am also using the built in roleprovider using the SqlRoleManager which does access the aspnetdb database directly. I would like to abstract the roleprovider by creating a custom roleprovider in a wcf service and then accessing it through the wcf service.
I have created the custom role provider and it works fine but now I need to place it in a wcf service. So before I jump headlong into trying to get this to work through the WCF service, I created a second class in the web application that accessed the roleprovider class and changed my web config roleprovider parameters to use that class. So my roleprovider class is called, "UcfCstRoleProvider" and my web.config looks like this:
But I get this error."Provider must implement the class 'System.Web.Security.RoleProvider'."
I hope I have explained well enough to show what I am trying to do. If I can get the roleprovider to work through another class in the same application, I am sure it will work through the WCF service but how do I get past this error?Or maybe I took a wrong turn and there is a better way to do what I want to do??
I have created a custom MembershipProvider and RoleProvider which communications with some existing business logic. The issue I have is that the user login in my business logic requires 3 arguments (group id, user id, and password) and the MembershipProvider and RoleProvider I implemented just use 1 or 2 arguments (username, password). Right now I append my group id and user id together and pass it as the username then parse it in the implemented methods. Is there a better way to do this?
Note, I can handle the login fine because I can call my own ValidateUser method. The main issue is when the implemented methods are called from other things like the RoleProvider.GetRolesForUser(username) method when I use the AuthorizeAttribute.
public class TestRoles{ public class SimpleRoleProvider : RoleProvider { public override string[] GetRolesForUser(string username) { List<string> roles = new List<string>(); roles.Add("Guest"); if (username.Equals("Dave")) roles.Add("Admin"); return roles.ToArray(); } } }
From this error, it seems like it can't find the RoleProvider.
I am obviously missing something here and it is driving me batty. I am trying to implement a custom role provider so that I can add some of my own custom code to it. I have created my CustomRoleProvider class, I have inherited the RoleProvider base class and implemented its members. I have made the required changes to my web.config so that my CustomRoleProvider is used. This is all working great.
All of this is wrapped up in a wrapper class as provided by the MVC Membership Starter Kit that I am using and wish to extend.
Now I want to add my own custom functionality.
When I add a function to my CustomRoleProvider I cannot see it or access it.
How do I add functionality to my CustomRoleProvider so that I can use it?
I have written an assembly (DLL) containing two classes, MyMembershipProvider and MyRoleProvider, which are derived from MembershipProvider and RoleProvider, respectively. I have implemented most but not all of the abstract methods; the remaining ones all throw a NotImplementedException. I have signed the assembly and added a reference to it in my web-site project, where the relevant web.config sections look like this:
[Code]....
When I fire up the site, however, I get the following error:
Configuration Error
Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.
Parser Error Message: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.
The error message points to the <add /> tag in the <roleManager /> section: if I take that out, however (enabled="false"), it comes back again as soon as I try to log-in to the site (this time pointing to the membership section). I have verified that is recognising the classes by changing the name in the "type" attribute (to something that doesn't exist), at which point it throws a different error. Therefore I'm presuming there's a problem with my assembly code somewhere; but how can I find out where? I have debug=true in the web.config and also compiled the assembly with Debug options, but no clues.
I had a post here [URL] that I need to expand on now. I have a few web pages that need to check for a certain role on each page request. I have a custom Membership Provider and a custom Role Provider (called CustomRoleProvider - very original - I know) that I am using to do this. When a user logs in, the CustomRoleProvider.GetRolesForUser() method is called automatically (by the urlAuthorizationModule). When this method gets called, I am currently adding a role to the roles string array that allows/permits the user from viewing the web pages of concern based on certain qualifications that are determined elsewhere in the code (i.e. the database is queried to see if the user has rights to visit certain pages).
This approach only gets me half way because the user's roles are only checked once at login. When I wrote my previous post, I thought the CustomRoleProvider was broken because it wasn't calling the IsUserInRole() method on each page request. According to Microsoft, "The IsUserInRole method is called by the IsUserInRole method of the Roles class to determine whether the current logged-on user is associated with a role from the data source for the configured ApplicationName." (that information comes from this page:
[URL] Reading that description I thought it was being called automatically on each page request. This is not correct. What I need to know how to do is to get a method in the CustomRoleProvider that returns a boolean to be called automatically on each page request so I can update the user's roles if they change while the user is logged into the web site. For example, if the user has rights to visit page A and then five minutes later his rights are revoked, he can't visit page A again unless he contacts an admin to reset his rights.
I have an asp.net2.0 application with a treeview control for navigation on my site. the application works fine with development server but when i deploy my site on IIS 5.0, the links stop working after the first click on any link.
At work we currently have a custom in-house built winforms app for the business users to view reports. It has role-based security and several administrator functions.My boss is thinking about getting me to port this app to webforms.My question is, are there options other than custom built winforms and webforms apps for deploying/viewing/administrating Crystal Reports at an enterprise level (role-based security, easy report deployment, etc)? I'm thinking about third-party packages or perhaps applications provided by Microsoft/Business Objects/SAP?
I just deployed a site and all looks okay as far as it being up there and the files are there.However when I go to click on any link, they don't even send a request back to the browser.If I right click then open link in new tab is sends it along just fine but it seems like the page can't initiate a request back to the server,
I have an ASP.NET web application(webforms,not MVC) developed in VS 2008 and i have implemented ASP.NET web forms URL routing by following this link [URL]
It works pretty good when i run it on the Visual studion IDE.But does not works when i created a site under my IIS (IIS 5.1 in XP) and deployed the same files there.I have set ASP.NET version as 2.0 in the Properties window of my application too.But does not work.
I recently embarked on the endeavor of creating my own asynchronous file upload components for ASP.NET. I took lessons learned form Darren Johnstone's FileUpload project and created an HttpModule for extracting the files from the submitted data.
I got everything working as it should in testing with VS 2008 using the Development Server. I even went so far during my testing to ensure that the request was being intercepted by the module before the files began uploading. After I was satisfied with things, I deployed the project to our web server (Win 2008 w/ IIS 7). I was horrified to learn that the controls were not functioning when deployed.
After some remote debugging, I found that the HttpApplication.AuthenticateRequest event (my location for hooking in to the process) was not being invoked until the files were completely uploaded.
I have just deployed my entire website onto my hosting provider. My databases worked fine whilst I was testing the website on the local host. They use Plesk Control Panel. Here is my connection string:
Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename|DataDirectory|ASPNETDB.MDF";Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True (nothing is omited from this string)
Why isn't this working when the website is online? I get the error Invalid value for key 'attachdbfilename'. I have retargeted my website for .net 2.0 at the providers request because they do not support .net 4.
If I run the application locally using the ASP.Net web server or local IIS I get all my log files. Once the application has been deployed to IIS 7 I only get the System.ServiceModel log. I have verified that the directory exists and I have given full control to everybody. I also have restarted the services and the site in an attempt to force the logs to flush. I have just been trying anything to get a log out of this thing so I also installed the Tracing and Logging Tools role services. I still don't get my application logs.
I also tried an implementation where I logged to the EventLog instead of trace log files. This also exhibited the same behavior. Worked locally and when deployed to local IIS but not when deployed to the actual server. I logged to the application log and on my IIS7 machine I gave full control permission to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetserviceseventlogApplication.
Seems like I must be missing something here. I can't get any information out of these 2 different logging implementations when deployed within IIS 7. I'm not even sure what is common here. Do EventLog.WriteEntry and Trace.TraceEvent both use WCF?
When running the ASP.NET Development Server, everything is working fine. However, when I deploy my asp.net application to the production server (IIS 7.0 integrated mode, fresh install), my location tags in my web.config file are being ignored.
Case in point: I'm using forms authentication, and when the user arrives at my login.aspx page, the external css & js files are not being loaded...even though I have specified that those files should be available to all users (auth'd or not). However, once the user is logged in, the files do in fact load.
Iam developing a custom checkbox control deriving from the 'compositecontrol' which i need to use it for a composite control purpose.
public class TngCheckBox : CompositeControl {
i have written the required properties which are working fine except the "checked" property. here is my code for 'checked' property. i tried both the below ways (commented one and not commneted) . the problem is the 'checked' value is not setting the value at the get set part of the property.its assigning the value at the design time , but when i check and uncheck its not updating the property value.which is resulting me wrong .

When I implement Custom web control inheriting ASP.NET Menu Ajax is not working. I try to Override Render method and generate Li's rather than table.I try to use Control Adapters, but when I am not using adapters for some pages ithe base adapter is generating just hyperlinks with span. I do not want this way. So I can not use these.
I am very exited to find out how to do this.I have created 10 custom webusercontrols which is meant to be used on several custom sites on my website etc. and I want to find out how I can make a directory which will work the same as the asp.net.At the moment I have to register the webusercontrol at the top of the page like this:
How do I create a directory that contains all of my webusercontrols, so I only have to register the assembly and can use the prefix and then the intellisense will appear?
I am currently using the ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider just for authentication on an internal business app built in asp.net. This works like a charm.
I am now looking to add some functionality to handle custom profile information for a user, ideally also stored in Active Directory.
For a simple example let's just say the custom attribute is FavoriteColor. Then the goal would be for my app to be able to read in this custom attribute for the authenticated user.
I have looked into ADAM a bit. That looks like it would be great for a Role Provider, but I haven't really found anything that indicates it would work well for a Profile Provider or if it would even let me store custom attributes like FavoriteColor. Maybe someone knows better?
I'm also pretty new to Active Directory so maybe there is even an option to store custom user attributes (like FavoriteColor) within it? In general I am just looking for ideas about the best way to implement this?
I have an asp.net mvc 2 app (using .net 4.0) that isn't routing correctly when hosted in a virtual directory. I have the following simple routing rule:
routes.MapRoute( "Default", // Route name "{action}", // URL with parameters new { controller = "accounts" } // Parameter defaults );
I'm trying to resolve [URL]. Where "accounts" is a virtual directory. If I put the app in the root of an IIS website it routes fine for [URL], but if I put the app in a virtual directory I get 404 errors. I've debugged and it is executing global.asax and configuring routing when in the vdir. Is there something special I need to do for routing in a virtual directory? FYI. I'm using a vdir because the root has wordpress in it. one more thing is that if I specify a default action in parameter defaults, it will execute the default action/controller, but it never matches anything else.
