Assume we have three different ASP.NET web applications in our intranet, that all of them have a login page and after authenticating user create a cookie for authenticated user. Is it available to have one page as a login page and create that three application's cookie from here and then redirect user to demanded application?
View 1 RepliesI have a bunch of applications that currently share the authentication cookie in v3.5.
We're in the process of upgrading to 4.0 and also upgrading the applications as a whole. I have 1 done, and would love to deploy it. However, as soon as I do, I lose my sharing of authentication cookie in that application.
In each web.config, my machine key is declared. I removed the actual keys to protect the innocent. :)
<machineKey validationKey="..." decryptionKey="..." validation="SHA1"/>
<authentication mode="Forms">
<!-- DEV Server -->
<forms enableCrossAppRedirects="true" loginUrl="Logon.aspx" name=".COOKIENAMEHERE" protection="All" path="/" slidingExpiration="true" timeout="1440"/>
</authentication>
i'm trying to create a cookie in my application and i dont no how to do it can any one tell me how to do it
View 2 RepliesI know that you can't edit incoming cookies. I have a cookie that I just need to read..nothing more but I have a need to remove some characters from its value so that I can parse it. How can I do this? I don't need to send the modified new cookie back in the response, it's just for my server-side consumption and then that's it.
Updated:
figured it out:
HttpCookie facebookAuthCookie = HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies[facebookCookieName];
string cleanValue = facebookAuthCookie.Value.Replace(""", string.Empty);
HttpCookie cleanedFacebookAuthCookie = new HttpCookie("cleanedFacebookCookie", cleanValue);
Do we know the algorithm that asp.net uses to create the authentication cookie (when using forms authentication?)
Can we basically create our own copy implementation? if so, how?
What does it use to generate the encrypted cookie value, I know it uses whatever you pass into the SetAuthCookie call (which is usually the userID/username).

View 5 RepliesVery new to ASP.NET and C# (somewhat knowledgable in PHP) I have an ASP.NET web application and need to manage access to pages based on a 'status' stored in a cookie. I would like to use the following code to create the cookie in a login method.
HttpCookie cookie = new HttpCookie("UserCookie");
cookie.Value = "status"; <-- this will be replaced with a variable once its working
cookie.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddHours(1);
Response.SetCookie(cookie);
My problem is that the only place I can put this code where it works is in the global.asax Session_Start method. It simply doesn't work anywhere else. I am checking the cookie creation in firefox options and see the ASP.NET_SessionId created but nothing else (This is all running on localhost).
Is the session status somehow interfering with the cookie creation? Do I need to configure something in Web.config? It would appear that the only time I can create a cookie is on Session_Start. Does anyone have any tips, perhaps I am missing something simple?
I want my cookie to disappear when the user closes their brower-- I've already set some promising looking properties, but my cookies pop back to live even after closing the entire browser.
HttpCookie cookie = new HttpCookie("mycookie", "abc");
cookie.HttpOnly = true; //Seems to only affect script access
cookie.Secure = true; //Seems to affect only https transport
What property or method call am I missing to achieve an in memory cookie?

I have created custom a MembershipProvider, SessionIDManager, and SessionStateStore since I need to use custom legacy sessions and logins.. When the Application is ran, it runs the GetSessionID in the SessionIDManager(which is correct) The problem then is if there is no session meaning the GetSessionID method returns null, it tries to create a new session using CreateSessionID.. I want it to redirect to the login application(another application). We only create and store session information for logged in users and the "session id numbers" come from a file that is pre-populated with "session id numbers"(I didnt design this and its out of my control).. So its not feasable to give everyone who visits the site one of the "session id" numbers. I also need for users with an "invalid" session(when checked through Validate()) to be redirected to the login page.
View 4 RepliesI have more of the same applications.All tables are identical.Each application has a new user.These different applications are located in different domains such as.: domena1.com, domena2.com, domena3.com.Each domain has different users.
For each domain in the web.config change the "ApplicationName", eg.:
ApplicationName = domain1, ApplicationName = DOMAIN2, ApplicationName = domain3 ...
I just read the MSDN Magazines article on Dynamic Data and it got me wandering, could I use this in MVC3? Then with a little research the answer is yes, but you have to copy all these assemblies, modify the global.asax file etc. The same if one wanted to use web forms and MVC3. Wouldn't it just be easier to be able to choose a blend option when creating a new application in VS? My suggestion would be if one wanted to create a hybrid application that blended two different application styles, one could just choose multiple apps at the start, such as MVC3 and Dynamic data; and VS would just add or modify the necessary references so one could use the two development styles in a single application.
I realize that some would say this would probably defeat the purpose of the different styles, but if developers are gong to do it anyway, why not be supportive. What did Emerson say? "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds".

View 1 RepliesI am busy building a shopping cart with cookies. I have datalist which I populate from the cookies with a delete button next to each cookie
[Code]....
Now the problem is that when I hit the delete / remove button to expire the cookie, what happens when repopulating the datalist is that it shows the original cookie with all it's values as well as a new entry where all the values are blank.
I try to create a persistent cookie to store a preferred language on our website, but it doesn't work.
So, to isolate the problem, I created a new website, with a blank page and with the code behind bellow. If I click the button, the page post back and I get this:
"Cookies expires: 0001-01-01 00:00:00 value: 10"

Can somebody explain what ASPXAuth cookie does?
My website uses forms auth and I am trying to create a load balancer (hardware) rule which will keep track of sessions based on the aspxauth cookie. Is it safe assume that the value of the cookie is unique?
I want to change the value in a cookie:
HttpCookie hc = new HttpCookie("HiddenColumns");
hc.Value = customView.HiddenFields;
hc.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(365);
Response.SetCookie(hc);
Or this way:
Response.Cookies["HiddenColumns"].Value = customView.HiddenFields;;
Response.Cookies["HiddenColumns"].Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(365);
But when I retrieve the cookie value, it is still old, unless I do postback. I don't want to use Redirect.
I've been worked with web services so far, and I'm interested in expanding my services to console applications as well so I started digging up with WCF but I'm conserned that I won't be able to use the HttpContext collection that I've been used to do with web services one important thing which is to generate a random value from HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables["ALL_HTTP"] that I need to reckon if it's the same or at least near what machine that is calling my service. How can I overcome this problem?
I need to know what machine is calling to count the number of attempts to login into my system for example. So must do it inside of the svc code otherwise if I let the client inform what ip address or what computer he is using, anyone could forge this argument and surpass by another machine. May be I'm approaching this matter wrongly. And I should count the number of attempts per state session, but how is it done?
I'm trying to use a webservice that first expects the clients to login, to retrieve a cookie to re-use.
This is done through a login(string user, string pass) method on the webservice.
Doing this through a browser works fine, we get a cookie, and we can see the cookie via Fiddler or whatvever proxysniff thingy.
Time to do the same in ASP.Net, so we use the WSDL and generate a nice proxy class, and it works fine to call the login() method, but Never Ever does a cookie get set !
I already used the "cookiejar" technique - which means i create an instance of a CookieContainer and assign it to the proxyclass like this;
var cookies = new CookieContainer(3);
I'm using the following line of code to display the number of users currently logged on:
lblNoOfUsers.Text = Membership.GetNumberOfUsersOnline().ToString()
I'm still debugging my application so it's on the local server. As I debug and stop then debug again, eventually lblNoOfUsers.text turns to "0" instead of "1", even as I'm navigating my application. It only turns to "1" again if I log out and sign back in. It's almost as though Membership.GetNumberOfUsersOnline my login are referencing two different session states. How is this possible? Does asp.net create a new session state cookie each time I start debugging?
