I'm using Forms authentication.In Windows Authentication for get the user name of the PC i use: User.Identity.Name
I need this information also in Forms authentication but User.Identity.Name doesn't work.How can I get the User.Identity.Name without using Windows authentication?
After a user is authenticated I store their username in session state but if the session times out, I want to create a new session for the user based on their username they authenticated with original. How can I get from Forms Authentication the currently authenticated user?
View 2 RepliesI had implemented the Forms Authentication for my application and used in-built login control for validating user credentials. I am creating persistant cookie using FormsAuthenticationTicket when the user checks 'Remeber Me' checkbox in login page.
Next time when I browse my application, it directly goes to resource access pages without redirecting to login page. This is the common approach in Forms Authentication with persistant cookie.
My requirement is, Is it possible to get username only in login page when using persistant cookie with Forms Authentication without redirecting into resource pages?
The same can achieve using cookies without using forms authentication. I need get the username automatically in login page using Form Authentication.
I have the asp.net with authentication set to forms. After deploying new version on server it started to display a UsernName Password dialog box (like in windows authentication) on the login.aspx page.
When user click "cancel" the login.aspx page displays normally and user could log in and continue his work normally.
I don`t know how to get rid of that dialog box? Anonymous login on IIS is enabled, and the anonymous IIS user has access to that file - login.aspx
Ok, I almost hate to ask this because I'm sure it's been covered many times on this forum, but I'm starting to get too frustrated trying to get it to work, so I'm gonna ask anyway.I have setup forms authentication on my site and have it working without any issues. What I'm trying to do now is to add "Remember Me" functionality so that the users don't have to log in each time they access the site. I'm able to get the authentication part down, but the issue I'm having is that when the user logs in, I set certain attributes in Session variables for that user (name, site role, etc.). These values are obtained from a database after the user has been authenticated, based on the username. What I'm having problems with is getting at this username from the FormsAuthentication cookie.
After I authenticate the first time, I setup my cookie this way:
[Code]....
I have tried getting at the Username utilizing the User prinicipal, but it just returns blank.
I am using ASP.NET Forms Authentication for my application. I have made my Password Format "Clear", so no problems with the password encryption. I need to create a view(in SQL server) to display all Administrators in my System. ie aspnet_Roles.LoweredRoleName='administrator' The fields needed are UserName and Password
View 1 RepliesI have a WCF application set up to use UserName authentication through the built in MembershipProvider. When I call up a simple test function to see if the user is authenticated I get false. I've included as much info as I can.

Identity.Username and all that is blank as well.

I have a service (WCF) with which my ASP.NET page will communicate. The WCF service has hashed passwords in its data store (a file actually). The WCF service requires the username and the hashed password on every call. Nowm the problem I'm encountering is that if I authenticate the user with forms authentication in ASP.NET, a cookie will be saved in the user's computer after the user is authenticated but I would like to save the username and hashed password too so that the user may able to use the WCF service. Where should this information should be saved so that it is safe and secure? Should I use session variables? If I choose that option that, then should I switch from forms-based authentication and manually authenticate using session variables or use both forms-based autentication for web page access and store the username and hashed password in a session variable? What are the pros and cons of each?

With reference to this link,i want to get the value of login username who when try to access the page. It should be recorded into the new sql table. Purpose is to monitor the page and people who want to access the page.
Where is username value, where it reside in the code...
When a user log into my asp.net site I use the following code:
FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(userid, false);
As I often need to use the userid I can then later get the userid by:
string userid = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name;
Now I also want to show the logged in username on each page and my questions is therefore where do I place the username best if I need to use it on every page. User.Identity.Name is already taken by the userid so I can't use that one. Another solution would be to get the username from the database on each page, but that seems like a bad solution.

View 7 RepliesOnce the user has authenticated, I would like to base all of the information displayed to the user based on their username. Isn't that saved in the cookie?

I'm writing an ASP.Net MVC intranet application which is accessed via handhelds and a range of browsers. My users all have AD accounts and have different permission to our SQL database views/procs depending on who they area. The database also uses CURRENT_USER for horizontal partitioning.
Because of the range of devices that need to access the application I can't rely on impersonation/delegation or the trusted subsystem. I want the user to simply input username and password (same as AD) when the above mechanisms fail.
Does anyone know how I can use AD username and password in a connection string to access the database without creating a set of SQL mirror accounts? I can't login with network service or a sql proxy account because the database needs to be user aware.
I'm bangin' my head against the wall here. I'm not even sure what I want to do is possible.
I have developed an ASP.NET app that will only be run on my local network (which incorporates a Windows Domain). It's running on IIS 7.5.I want to do this:
[Code]....
My problem is this: If I don't turn off Anonymous Authentication and ASP.NET Impersonation, I don't get the results I'm looking for. (if Anonymous is allowed, I get an empty string returned for username, and if ASP.NET impersonation is allowed, then "username" is always whatever account is associated with impersonation, like "Network Service"). If I turn those off and then turn Windows Authentication on, it works, but only after a dialog box presents itself asking for the Windows Credentials.
What I'm trying to do is NOT require the users to log in. Since they've already logged into the domain when they signed on their computer, I'd like to just allow them access to the ASP.NET application I've written, and identify who they are (based on their previous Windows login) using the line of code above. I don't need them to re-authenticate, because they're already authenticated from their domain login.I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong, or how to accomplish this. It seems the closest I've gotten to what I want so far, is to turn off all authentication EXCEPT for Windows Authentication. It works then, but only if the user first types in his/her username and password again in a dialog box. Is there any way to avoid having them type in their username and password again, but still be able to identify their domain username?
In the web.config, how do add a connection string by using a window authentication with the username and password? I have tried like this and it keeps ignoring the username and password

I have an ASP.NET setup website using Windows authentication. Each time I open IE and try to access the webpage I get a windows authentication screen. Once I have logged in I can see the website fine. My problem is that every time I open a new IE browser I have to re-enter my username and password. I have heard about thew double hop issue, is this what it could be. If so how many ip fix this. Any ideas how i can stop this box showing up each time? I have ticked the "remember my username/password" tick box but still no joy. I am using Windows Server 2003, IIS 6.0 and .NET 4.0.

View 1 RepliesI've recently enabled Digest Authentication on an intranet website/application I am creating for my company in ASP.NET.
The reason I have done so is because Windows Authentication seemed to only work for some users, and not for others. I could not figure out why nor do I know enough about IIS to try and trace the issue. After some trial and error, I found that digest authentication seemed to give me the behaviour that I wanted. That is: allow only users with a valid account on the domain to log in to the website with their credentials.
The problem now, is that Firefox (3+) seems to ask for the user to authenticate on every HTTP request sent to the server. This does not appear to occur in Internet Explorer (6+) or Chrome.
I've tried searching for solutions but I always arrive at dead-ends. I'll find a discussion about the issue, and every posted solution leads to a dead link...or it's on Experts Exchange and I don't have access to view to solution.
The issue appears to be related (from what I've read) to the way the different browsers send their authentication headers vs how IIS interprets them. I'm not sure what I can do to change this though? One of the solutions I had found mentioned writing an ISAPI filter to fix this, but of course the link to the finished filter was broken and I have no idea how to go about making one myself.
I've tried messing with the NTLM and other auth related strings in about:config to try and force Firefox to trust my server but that doesn't seem to work either.
From a few other sources I've read, it appears that everything should work if I switch back to Windows Authentication, but then I'm back at square one where the authentication would work only for some users and not others.
A solution for either problem would work for me, but I have very little information for the Windows Authentication issue. If someone could guide me through tracing the problem I'd gladly post more information for it as well.

We have a link in our site that pin points to sharepoint documents and we are retreiving some documents files (*.doc). Our sharepoint uses IWA (integrated windows authentication) which is prompted if we're trying to access that documents, unfortunately we don't want to prompt that window to authenticate the user. We need is to create a username and password and authenticate it. how can we do that.
Note* we have 2 server one for our application and the other one is for sharepoint.
I am developing one intranet website. Being an intranet application, one of the requirement is to have a single sign on feature.
It means that the windows PC username (i.e the "ctrl + alt + delete" username) is going to be the username for the system.
How do i fetch that username?
I tried the following two ways which are working in debug mode but not on live site.
System.Security.Principal.IPrincipal user = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User;
Response.Write(user.Identity.Name);
&
Response.Write(Request.ServerVariables["AUTH_USER"].ToString());
Both the above method works when i run the page from visual studio.
However when i run the page from IIS or any other server, it gives me a blank value

View 10 RepliesJust going to start making a web application and was wondering which was better, or at least what are the main differences between them (as it probably matters what I am using them for)?
View 3 Replies'm using the AutoCompleteExtender from the AJAX control toolkit on my aspx page - I have it wired up to a WCF service that is returning a string array and everything works happily.
If I change my service definition to include a demand for the caller to be authenticated, like so:
<OperationContract(), PrincipalPermission(SecurityAction.Demand, Authenticated:=True)> _Public Function GetLookupValues(ByVal prefixText As String, ByVal count As Integer, ByVal contextKey As String) As String()
Then the autocomplete extender stops working, and I get an authentication error in the service. The service is set up to use ASPNetCompatibility mode, and I was hoping that the extender would pass the authentication credentials for my logged in user - does anyone know how to make this work?
