I have an ASP.net app which is being hosted on a server. I want to get the Clients username from the system and use that name as a title for an XML file im saving on the server. I have tried various different mathods such as:
Environment.UserName();
WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent();
However all that keeps returning is the NetworkService account name on the server.

I wish to create a function for Administrator to be able to edit and change the Username of the user that the Administrator had created previously using Create User Wizard.
I am setting up membership and rolls for a small forum site that im working on. All this info is stored in the standard aspnetdb database. When a user is logged in and saves a post to the forum, their UserId is saved to a database in unique identifier format such as: b40e346d-0399-4bbb-90ee-c7c440726cfd. I want to set up a web service so that the name of the author of each post can be clicked on to retieve details about him or her. Rather than passing along the UserId of the author to the web service, I want to pass along the UserName and use that to retrieve the user's Id, which will in turn be used to query the database. I cant seem to find info on how to do this. I can find how to retrieve this kind of info for the current logged in user, but not any or all users in general.
View 5 RepliesI have a site which is built in ASP.net and C#. Let's call it webapp. it uses a Form system to log on into it, and cannot be changed easliy.
I got a request to change the log in to some kind of windows authentication. I'll explain. Our windows login uses active directory for users to log into their windows account. their login name is sXXXXXXX. X are numbers. in my webapp, I want to take the users numbers from their active directory login, and check if those exist in the webapp database. if it exists, they will automatically log in. If it doesn't, they will be referred to the regular login page for the webapp system which is currently in use.
I tried changing my IIS to disable anonymous login and enabling windows authentication, therefore making the user browser to send it's current logged in user name to my webapp. I changed the web config as well from "Forms" to "Windows", which made my whole webapp obsolete as the whole forms system did not work.
My question is this - is there a different way for the browser only to send the username to my webapp? I thought maybe javascript, I just don't know how to implement that, if it's even possible. I know it's not very secure, but all this platform and system is built outside the internet, it's on a private network.

View 3 RepliesI have a section on a page where a user can change their username. This is basically the code for that:
user.UserName = txtNewUserName.Text;
user.Save();
user is a class in my dbml and Save calls SubmitChanges on the data context.The name is changed in the database, so when it calls the following method, it fails because it is trying to get the user with the old username instead of the one that is in the database now.
public override string[] GetRolesForUser(string username)
{
return dc.Users.Where(u => u.UserName== username)
.SingleOrDefault().Roles
.Select(r => r.RoleName).ToArray<string>();
}

probabaly a daft question but when creating a user using .net membership, can i exclude the username and just have the email as the 'username' like this?

or leave blank...
Membership.CreateUser("", model.Password, model.Email, ......
I have two websites that run on two different servers and they both both have their own asp membership databases. One is http:// and one is https://. Is it possible to create a way that a user can access both websites while only entering username and password once? Or if the user logs onto the https site can I then redirect to the http site and auto authenticate?

View 1 RepliesI currently write all log4net events to a database, and it seems to work just fine. To capture the logged in user account I use this piece of code:
HttpContext context = HttpContext.Current;
if (context != null && context.User != null && context.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
{
MDC.Set("user", HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name);
}
The code seems ok, except for events that have no user context associated with them (ie. a user on our public web page). In that case the log4net capture seems to sometime write the last logged in user account (bad) and sometime write a null (good). Anyone got this feature to work reliably in all cases? I believe I saw a note that MDC is no longer a recommended feature to use, but I wasn't able to find any alternatives that are recommended.
Note: I find it odd that MDC is set with an account name, but never cleared if no user is active. That could be part of the problem. However, I didn't find any MDC code extracts that also clear the username.

The username will be created in the above format. first 5 characters(xyz) are same for every username with the slashes. Only "t4z4567" will be changed for every user.
