C# - Convert The Standard Login Framework That Ships With MVC 2 Into A Modal Login Dialog System
Oct 17, 2010
I'm trying to find an example of how to convert the standard login framework that ships with ASP .NET MVC 2 (the account controllers and views, etc) into a modal login dialog system, like the one at Digg. After searching for hours, the closest tutorial I found was this: [URL]
However, there are a few modifications I'd like to make to it--such as, if there is a validation error, instead of displaying it inline on the form (ex: <%: Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.UserName) %>), I want to slide down a bar at the top of the page like Twitter/Digg. I'm not sure how to make use of the existing authentication framework to access the validation errors in javascript.
I've just finished implementing a modal dialog login popup for my ASP.NET website. The experience is similar to what you get with [URL]. When you log in, you get a fancy popup modal dialog (provided by the JQuery Tools Overlay control). The dialog is an ASCX file in the Master Page, so it's available globally. It uses a PageMethod to validate the current user. If the validation succeeds, I call window.location.reload(); in the PageMethod's success callback.
This works great when logging in on a page that doesn't require authentication, but what about when non-auth users are trying to navigate to a page that requires auth?
Is it possible to modify my web.config file so that instead of redirecting to a SignIn.aspx page for non-authenticated users I simply invoke the modal dialog instead?
Let's say a non-authenticated user is on Default.aspx which doesn't require auth. He wants to navigate to "Add.aspx" which does require auth. What's the best way to handle this with a modal dialog popup?
If I have to use a dedicated page, I guess I'll just have a SignIn.aspx page that invokes the dialog when it loads and if authentication succeeds, it'll use JavaScript to redirect to the destination page.
But ideally, I'd like to do the login from the Default.page and then redirect to "Add.aspx" with script.
I have my website in which there are free links and links that require login. Free links open even if the user is not logged in. But in case of links that require login, redirect to login.aspx specified in Web.Config in loginURL tag.
I want some way to override this and show Ajax modal popup (Ajax extender toolkit) with login control for only thos links that require login (not for the free links).
I have a standard login control. I have a cookie, that is working fine, that is imported, fine. But I want to make it so the user will be directly logged in instead of this button that he needs to click, see attached image.
What is the code, that by default is submitted in the login control, because then I will just do a check in page_load:
If username <> "" then [login code] end if
I have just used the standard login control, so I dont know the code applied to the Log in button, but it works. But how do I call it in a page_load like written above?
After reading a book I brought on ASP.net I fould the login controls to be very nice.I have set it up in my application so that customers can login using the standaard login controls and things were going smooth.But in my schema for my application I also have a table for customers (firstName, LastName, DOB, etc).And of course the customersID is used as a foreign key to tables such as Orders, Addresses (Home, Work, Postal).
The thing is how to i associate an asp.net login to a customer name in my table so that the CustomerID can be used through the application by knowing who is logged in.
I have my website in which there are free links and links that require login. Free links open even if the user is not logged in. But in case of links that require login, redirect to login.aspx specified in Web.Config in loginURL tag.I want some way to override this and show Ajax modal popup (Ajax extender toolkit) with login control for only those links that require login (not for the free links).And yes, I am using Master Page for the web application. Please help me in achieving this functionality.
I have a login control on a web application. I am using a modal popup extender to show a message when the login button is hit. That all works fine. The problem is, once the user hits the "OK" on the popup, it closes and then nothing happens. I tried adding javascript postback but did not help.
I want to use this fancy Ajax Login Form with ASP.NET:www.bitrepository.com/ajax-login-modal-box.htmlThe example uses PHP as the backend. May I use the ASP.NET Login Control?
want to use ligh box effect like i have login control and i want to show login control in ligh box effect so its like if i open on login link login control wil show and same time we can control click anywhere in page ??
I have a weird problem. I have a window, on a button click I open a modal popup (using ModelPopupExtender), that let's you select a few criteria and then click a submit button. On click of submit button, I open a new window (using window.open()) that shows the status of what happened to your submitted request. However, every time this status window is opened, it goes to the login page. I am thinking the modal popup can't pass the authentication cookie to the newly opened window, but I'm not sure.
I am using MVC2 on VS2010 Express edition. I followed a post by Dino Esposito on UI with JQuery passing data to a dialog from strongly typed views. I can't make the dialog work with modal:true option.Here I have a simple page that includes RenderPartial for a dialog. The dialog is supposed to pop up when a button is clicked. However, if I include modal:true as one of the dialog options, then when the button is clicked nothing happens. The dialog does not pop up. When I remove modal:true from the dialog options then dialog pops up as expected and closed as expected.
i have a web-site which uses forms based authentication. thus i have a login page with a login control on it. how would i go about coding the authenticate event of this control to talk to the Entity Framework to validate the user credentials?
I am using ASP.NET C# with mySql database. What is the best way for implementation of login system like Membership and Role. Membership and Role dont work with mySql database.
i was just wondering how much secure is the Login System integrated within ASP.NET ? This is rather vague but i just wanted to know if a website using the system is rather protected to attacks.
We have a server with lets say 5-10 internal ASP.NET (MVC) applications running in separate application pools as separate websites (on different ports and/or subdomains). I know nothing about the built-in ASP.NET authentication framework, so I was wondering if anyone could drop me a quick pointer in the right direction...
I want to secure all of the internal apps via one login mechanism (supporting 3-5 different roles; nothing complex). This login system would be another app/website running on the server, and to gain access to any other app, one must have authenticated via the one login system and the target app must be able to see the user's role. The internal apps will be modified at the code level to plug into this new login system (in other words, we'll modify the current apps to support the authentication).
The whole point of this is that I don't want each app to have its own login/authentication mechanism, but rather use a more "global" authentication system (everything on the same server). I am not looking for anything complex (just a company of 15-25 employees, 3-5 departments - each user must be associated with a department (role) based on their login - and each app will be tuned to show the user the appropriate data based on his role).
The question is - how do I make it so that a user's authentication status is visible across all of the different apps (in different assemblies and running separately)?
I am the web developer at a medical clinic. I have 2 scenarios going on:
First, I have a physicians only component of our employee portal to allow access to only physician shareholders or physician non-shareholders. My structure is built like:
Physicians Only Administration Affiliations Calendars Compensation Minutes
The Affiliations folder is only going to be accessible by the physician shareholders. Therefore, I have security roles set for Physicians Only and Affiliations. When I test, the security is set correctly on the folders. However, when I try to login as different people, all with different roles, I have to login with user name and password, twice, before the system allows me in.
Secondly, I have secured areas within the employee portal also. However, when I navigate to them, the system doens't usually prompts me to login. If it does prompt me to login, it too, is on the second try. So how does it know who I am? And more importantly, how do I get the system to actually prompt the user to login with their credentials?
I am making a SignUp Page in ASP.Net 4.0 and i am facing a problem that How to store Signup Data in SQL Server 2008-R2 like User Name,User Id or Password.
We have created a windows application which is distributed amongst our clients. The application uses SQL Server 2008 as the back end and each client uses their own database on their own server. The databases are all exactly the same but each clients data is specific only to them.
We would like to offer our clients the ability to log-in to our website which would then login to their own database so that when they are out in the field they can perform similar tasks to what they can do with the windows app.Each of the clients databases has a user table containing their login details, permissions etc.
Our server is running on IIS and has SQL Server 2008 installed but it only contains our data and nothing of the clients.How should we go about this?
What I mean is do we need to make each client have an additional login to our main server which would then hold each clients individual connection strings etc which would then be used to connect to there specific database and then they would need to login again?? Seems like a nightmare for the user.
I've a Gmail account, assume that me@gmail.com. Now I want to login (as admin) in my website through this account. I know I can use OpenID etc. for that purpose but I want to limit it for just me only. Can I do this? I don't let anyone else to know which service I used to login and what is my address and etc. (Note: My website contains just one and only one login form, for just me, only!)
