I would like to change the logged in user to another user temporarily to do some process.
For example, say I am logged in as "Joe". In my method, I want to make the logged in user from "Joe" to "SuperUser", do some process, then change the logged in user back to "Joe".
I would like users to upload a profile picture when they register, and to then show that picture in a picture box control when they are logged in based on that specific user.
View 1 Repliesit is possible to change dynamically the session time for currently logged user. I'm communicating with a WebService which does a long-running task, and while the it sends the final response, I don't want the user to be logged out.
View 2 Repliesi want to generate the new sessionid in the same httpcontext once the user is successfully authenticated.so, how can i do that ? ( please dont ask why do you want it, i got such kind of requirement).
View 3 RepliesIm creating an application where the user table is stored outside the database, therefore i wont need to use the built-in asp.net user tables. However i would still like to use all the features the asp.net membership security provides i.e. restrict users from certain pages using the web.config
I would like to authenticate the user manually and set roles to that user temporarily only for that session. Is this possible?
I deployed a website where a logged user or an anonymous user can select data and download a XML file. The website generate the XML file in the server and then deliver it.
It works fine in my development environment, but after deployment, the anonymous user can download the file, but the logged user receive this error:
System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'd:HostsLocalUserheringerwebsiteUpload20110107094051.xml' is denied.
It is weird that as anonymous i can do it.
The website server help states this:
"Grant write, modify, delete access rights on website's folder
Your website executes under unique user account that by default has full control over the website's folder.
So your application can create, open, read, write and delete files and folders inside of your root folder.
There is no need and no way to change this permissions.
If, when running ASP.Net application, you still unable to create file or update it, you have to check your Web.Config file for "<Identity impersonate..." tag and remove it.
The only exception is when the application tries to modify a file or folder in "Application_Start" event of Global.asax file. This is by design that user authenticated only after the Application_Start even. Before the user is authenticated your website runs under an identity of Application Pool which is "Network services". That account doesn't have access to the folder of your website.
To make it work you eather have to move the code that tries to modify files or folders out of the "Application_Start" event of the Global.asax file or inside the event you'll need to impersonate your user by code."
But i am not using impersonate and the tag is not in my web.config.
I have the membership provider and the create user with tow steps, one of the steps contains a custom registration form, for each created user data will be in the database, and there is an account page shows the data that the new created user did insert during the registration process on the custom registration page,
the problem, when the user is created and logged into his account page, this account page shows only the information for the first created user, not the info on the logged in user , but the logged in user data still saved in database and not showing on his account page?
This is web.confg code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
I have table called ROLE with fields (id,name,permission) example values (1001,madhu,hr)
I have another table called LOGIN with fields(id,DOB,password) example values(1001,24101989,madhukumar)
What i want is , if i login using the LOGIN table ,it check the id and permission in the ROLE table , if the permission is 'hr' it enable to access the menu , or if the permission is any other it just print the error message ("no permission")
Note: menu is placed in master page , but login is not in the master page ...

View 2 Repliesmy app gets data from sql server using windows authentication but when i create a virtual directly as part of the deployment, the user that tries to authenticate against sql server is ASPNET rather than the windows user as a result authentication fails. I change the "Directory Security" setting in virtual directory properties to disable Anonymous access and leave Windows authentication checked but no luck.

I have been creating a website using the SQLMembershipProvider. I have been using an administration account to create the back-end system for generating the users fine for about 2 weeks. I now have more users created and I can log in fine. However, when I log in as the newly created users, they can get to the page they are after, but if they refresh the page or redirect to another page, they get redirected to the login page. I have checked permissions, iis recycler, session state and security setting in my web.config (posted below) but nothing has fixed it. It cannot be IIS because it does it on my development machine as well as on the actual webserver and it works fine for the admin user.
