C# - Can Set The ID And Password On Directory Level
Aug 9, 2010
I am developing a application where i am performing the Download/Upload using WebClient and BITS. i have a virtual directory in IIS6.0/7.0. i have to set the Authentication to the that directory(Id & Password). currently i m using basic IIS authentication in which we can pass id and password but using same user id and password we can login to server.
My requirement is that if someone happens to know the username / password, they shouldn't be able to do anything else than upload and download (ie, you should not be able to log in into the server using the username and password)
Is there is any way from we can set the ID and password on Directory level or any other alternative.
I have an ASP.Net MVC app, and i have some xsl files inside of the Content directory.I've try a few methods to get directory dynamically buy keep on coming short.So how do i get the directory to point to the Content/xsl folder?the closest that i came to was with this:this.GetType().Assembly.CodeBase
which only returns the project DLL, but i can't figure out how to move up a few levels from there or what .net library to use to navigate around the path.there's no ../.. :(Basically i want to navigate to the Content/xsl folder which is at the same level of the Bin directory.
I would like to control the menu display (show/hide menu items) in my ASP.NET 3.5 website based on the user's AD group and also control the functionality within a page using user's active directory group membership. how to do this? menu is stored in an xml file and bound to a control. all the examples I see on the web are related to forms authentication. this is an intranet website with integrated windows authentication and both authentication and authorization should be controlled using user's active directory groups.
I have a web page that users go to in order to reset their password in two separate domains. The basic code that does this is:
UserEntry.Invoke("ChangePassword", new object[] { txtCurrentPassword.Text, txtNewPassword.Text });
One problem I have is that I'd like to be able to display a message if a user tries to change a password to something not allowed because of password history rules. The exception raised(8007202F) when I try to change to something in the password history is the same one I've seen for other password errors(for example complexity issues). Is there an easy way to tell if there is a problem with changing a password due to password history requirements?
I am using active directory in my ASP.NET project and whenever user register in the site,an account is created in AD. There is an Forgot Password link.Is it possible to get user password from AD.I can get the name or email, but I don't know if I can get the password.
I've created a virtual directory on a hard drive where I keep some jpg files, the problem is when I access a page that links to a jpg file it asks for a username and password, is there anyway to stop that from happening?
I'm running IIS 6 with ASP.NET 2.0.I enabled windows authentication for a folder in a website and gave permissions to a user. When I navigate to the page, the passowrd prompt pops up as expected and when entered correctly, the page loads. The page contains a file upload control. When I try to upload a file, the password prompt keeps popping up. ultimately it ends up as a 401 error. The user account does have write permissions to the floder, so I'm not understanding why I can get to the page with the credentials, but can't upload anything to that folder.
I am trying to create a new user and set their password in AD LDS using asp.net vb. I'm binding to an instance of a directory entry, which is working fine. And I can add a user without a problem. The problem is that I can't seem to set the password when I add the user. Is this the right way to set the password?
Dim objADAM As DirectoryEntry = BindToInstance() Dim objUser As DirectoryEntry = objADAM.Children.Add("CN=Jimmy", "User") objUser.Properties("sn").Value = "lloyd" objUser.Properties("givenName").Value = "Jimmy Smith" objUser.Properties("userpassword").Value = "THEPASSWORD" objUser.CommitChanges()
This is the error that I get : System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryServicesCOMException (0x80072020): An operations error occurred. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80072020) at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.CommitChanges()
I've also tried this : Dim objADAM As DirectoryEntry = BindToInstance() Dim objUser As DirectoryEntry = objADAM.Children.Add("CN=Jimmy", "User") objUser.Properties("sn").Value = "lloyd" objUser.Properties("givenName").Value = "Jimmy Smith" objUser.CommitChanges() objUser.Invoke("SetPassword", New Object() {"123456789A$#"}) objUser.CommitChanges()
Which gave me this error : System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x8000500D): The directory property cannot be found in the cache. --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Invoke(String methodName, Object[] args)
I'm using the code below to authenticate a user in Active Directory, but the password is sending in clear text. How can I hash my password and then send it to Active Directory?
DirectoryEntry entry = new DirectoryEntry(path, username, pwd); try { //Bind to the native AdsObject to force authentication. object obj = entry.NativeObject; DirectorySearcher search = new DirectorySearcher(entry); search.Filter = "(SAMAccountName=" + username + ")"; search.PropertiesToLoad.Add("cn"); SearchResult result = search.FindOne(); if (null == result) { return false; } //Update the new path to the user in the directory. _path = result.Path; _filterAttribute = (string)result.Properties["cn"][0]; } catch (Exception ex) { throw new Exception("Error authenticating user. " + ex.Message); } return true;
I have a domain controller on windows 2008 server R2, The users are able to modify their password through a web page. Once it's done, the users are still able tu use the old password as well as the new one at the next logon. The old password is still active only one time after the change, after that it's no more possible to use it...
I invoke the "ChangePassword" function.
Is it a parameter to configure on the server ? Is it cached somewhere on the computer of the users ?
How do I create a top level OU in LDAP directory that has no partition created? In the example below, if strPath ="LDAP://localhost:389" , how do I create the top level OU=MyServer using Directory Services such that my base DN becomes "LDAP://localhost:389/OU=MyServer"?
Example code shown below will throw an exception at CommitChanges() method call. Is it illegal to call Children.Add on the directoryEntry instance that has no base DN? // Construct the binding string. strPath = "LDAP://localhost:389"; Console.WriteLine("Bind to: {0}", strPath); // Get AD LDS object. try { objADAM = new DirectoryEntry(strPath); objADAM.RefreshCache(); } catch (Exception e) { Console.WriteLine("Error: Bind failed."); Console.WriteLine(" {0}", e.Message); return; } // Specify Organizational Unit. strOU = "OU=MyServer"; strDescription = "AD LDS Test Organizational Unit"; Console.WriteLine("Create: {0}", strOU); // Create Organizational Unit. try { objOU = objADAM.Children.Add(strOU, "OrganizationalUnit"); objOU.Properties["description"].Add(strDescription); objOU.CommitChanges(); } catch (Exception e) { Console.WriteLine("Error: Create failed."); Console.WriteLine(" {0}", e.Message); return; }
I need to look for an example of a web application, preferably ASP.NET but any otherweb language will do, that lets Mac and Windows users change their AD password.
Any technique, application, or source code will be great.
our Macs are not connected to AD and we also have Windows users.
I have an intranet that gets the current logged in user through active directory. When a user is locked out they get a windows prompt to enter their username and password. Is there a way for me to catch this and redirect them to a page where they are asked to enter their credentials again or tell them that their account might be locked out and to contact the help desk?
i have a username and password in my portal... i want to connect to the active directory to verify the username and password of the user? using c# .net
I have an asp.net website that requires users to login using their Active Directory credentials. All users of the website have AD accounts. Some of the users are at remote locations and share a common computer login (I know this is not recommended but it is what it is, I have no say in that). Every so often a user will log into my website and click the Remember Passwod box which causes the next person that comes along to not be prompted to log in. All users are on IE 7. I have tried having them go into tools and deleting the cookies, saved passwords, etc but when they go to my website they are still not being prompted to log in. I have recently migrated to IIS 7 and I understand there is a way to have the user enter the site through a custom form but I have not gotten that far yet. How can I make sure the users password is removed from IE?
I have an application that does LDAP authentication. The authentication is done on the code behind page of my Login.aspx page. Once the user passes LDAP authentication, a cookie is set and I redirect:
I would like to setup membership in my application and keep track of some user information. But due to company security requirements, I cannot store user passwords on my application. That must stay on the LDAP server only.Is there a way to store users but disable password storage on the aspnet_membership table?
