When adding a role (making use of asp.net's role provider), i cannot find a method to add a role including a description.the asp.net Role table in SQL makes provision for a role description, however the only method available is:Roles.CreateRole(string RoleName);here is no overload to include a description.Is there an out of the box way of including the description? or should i go about this myself?
View 1 RepliesUsually in sub-folder we will limit the access right to some roles and this feature requires pre-defined database schema.
However, if i still want to use this role feature of asp.net, but I do not like the pre-define database schema, I want to extract role information from my own database table and bind it to the role.
Why asp.net sql role provider does not allow to update the role name , whats its reasons.
View 5 RepliesHow can i get the role id, rather than the role name?
For instance with the code below
Dim roles1 As String() = Roles.GetAllRoles()
GridView1.DataSource = roles1
GridView1.DataBind()
I can access the role name in the gridview like below, but how could I get the ID to pass in a hyperlink?
<asp:Label ID="lbl1" runat="server" Text='<%#Container.DataItem.ToString() %>' Visible="false" />
I am in the process of creating a user control that enables content areas of our web application to be editable. The control utilizes the asp.net membership/role providers and incorporates a LoginView that only displays the edit link if a user has logged in and is a member of the desired role. What I would like to be able to do is pass the "role" as a property of the control so it can be set dynamically and does not have to be hard coded into the control if I use elsewhere in another application.
View 3 RepliesI modified the ASP.NET login control to also allow specifying UserRole ('Employee' or 'Volunteer'). Users are authenticated via a call to a webservice written by our client, which accepts username/password/role and returns true or false.If role is 'Employee' it represents an active directory user. The application should impersonate the user with the given username/password.If role is 'Volunteer' the application should run under a set Windows account whose username/password are known in advance (i.e. hard-coded in web.config file).
View 1 RepliesUsing the Entity Framework that I generated. I have a Roles table created during the default system AspNetSqlRoleProvider security set-up.In the Roles table, I have an ApplicationId uniqueidentifier column. Which has a guid populated in it, which doesn't change for my application. I need to add a Role manually through my app using the entity framework. However, when creating my Roles object and setting Roles.ApplicationId. It expects a type of Guid. I have the ApplicationId in my web.config app settings. As it shouldn't change. But it is returned at string. I cannot type cast the value either to use in Roles.ApplicationId. What can I do to use my current ApplicationId value when trying to create a new role manually using the EF?
View 1 RepliesI am building my first asp.net app from scratch. I have two different membership providers. One is a basic sql provider while the other is active directory. The user "role" is determined by how the user logs in. I want to use the Role Manager functionality of asp.net but I don't want to build the whole role provider part when I really don't have "roles" in my application, I have two membership types.
Is there a way to set the role of the user through the membership provider at login or in some way mark a logged in user as having been authenticated by sql or AD?
This is my first asp.net app, am I even thinking about this the right way?
How could users in a "customer" role be retrieved from a MembershipUserCollection?
View 3 RepliesI have a couple of aspx pages in c# and want to apply security on them. The way the current security works is that each user is assigned a role to enable him to add,edit or delete . for instance I have 3 roles, Accountant, finance and clerk,

I have an application that uses Forms Authentication and Role Management. I have a few users with more than one role associated to the user. Based on certain roles, the navigation menu displays certain menu options.
Right now, if the user has more than one role, the menu shows the items that are in both roles instead of the items that are in the particular role that the user is logged into or currently set to.
I'm creating an Authentication Ticket to log the user in and I'm passing the active user role as follows:
authenticationTicket = New FormsAuthenticationTicket(1, UserName, DateTime.Now, DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(20), False, UserRole)
Is there anyway to set the user to one particular role and have the application see the user in this single role instead of reading all the roles that the user is in?
Is there any way that I can find the exact name of the role a User is in? There is a property for UserName ( User.Identity.Name) but what about the role?

View 1 Repliesi like to design a asp.net application(app1) where we can create role and actions. here action is such as create student details and delete student details... this both actions comes underneath to a role1.. so, the application will have some roles with set of actions. This roles and action will be used later in another applications(app2 and app3).
i have designed app1 with single sign on for all the application(app2,app3). when a user enter into app2, he/she will be redirected login page which resides in app1. There user validation will take place. once validated, authentication ticket will be send back to requested application(app2).
Once app2 receive the ticket, it will make another request app1 to get the roles and action belongs to singed user. the app2 should behave based the actions belongs to role.
*A user can have more roles.
how to control the user activities based on the actions?
Is there any framework to achieve this model?
There is Role Management feature in ASP.NET It works on local development machine. For our project we need customers admin to be able to create new users and manage their roles. So, basically same what aspnet_regsql.exe does. Question is Should we develop our own pages and forms or use some ready made tool?

Got the ProviderException : The Role Manager feature has not been enabled.
So far so good.
Is there somewhere a method that can be called to check if the Role Manager has been enabled or not?
I'm trying to bind a selected user's role to a dropdown-list. The purpose of this is to be able to change said user's role.
I'm attempting this inside a formview hooked up to a linqdatasource which contains a row from the aspnet_User table.
The dropdown list is hooked up to a linqdatasource of all the roles in the aspnet_Roles table (with DataValueField="RoleID", DataTextField="RoleName").
I figured it would be possible with something like:
SelectedValue='<%# Bind("aspnet_UsersInRole[0].aspnet_Role.RoleID") %>'
But this throws a parser exception, about the bind call not being correctly formatted.
The roles are there, they show up when I remove the "SelectedValue"
I have a page setup to manage and create users.. in order to help the process of creation, i woudl like to add the new users to our default "users" role when they click the create button.

I used this from a tutorial i found else where, but dont have the link at the moment if anyone needed it.. but the code below works great when creating a new user

I'm trying to configure my Solution to publish multiple web sites to Azure using the 1.3 SDK and I want them to run under one Web Role. I've added the entry to the Sites element as per the CHM file and when I deploy to Azure the Instance starts up. Now for the symptoms:
Browsing to the "Primary" (first site added to the solution) everything works fine.
Browsing to the "Secondary" site throws the following error:
Exception type: ConfigurationErrorsException Exception message: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Web.Mvc, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. (E:approot_WASR_1web.config line 28)
What have I tried so far without success (sigh):
1. I noticed that by default VStudio (2010 Ultimate) did not include the "Secondary" project output in the cspkg file. Setting a project dependency seems to have fixed that problem (or at least I now see it in the output window during the build process).
2. I've set "Copy Local=true" for the System.Web.Mvc on the "Secondary" project still nothing.
3. I have a CName setup for the "Secondary" project and use the hostHeader parameter on the Binding element so I haven't found a good way of testing this local so I'm limited in diagnostic info.
One thought that I had was that both projects now contain a WebRole.cs file, should that be the case in this configuration?
I wish to know the way to add ASP.NET ("Machine_Name"IIS_IUSRS) to user role in COM+ component programmatically using C#. So whenever my COM+ component is being installed, ASP.NET user is created under Role.
View 1 RepliesI'm using a custom role provider (written by another developer) that uses our active directory username (obtained from HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name) along with a SQL table.
Anyways, when I update my SQL table to update my roles I need to close my web browser (Internet Explorer 7) in order for my new security to become effective.
I've tried using Session.Abandon() but that doesn't help.
How can I refresh my security?
Ideally I want something like: Roles.RefreshCurrent()
