I have an existing ASP.NET web application that is for public use and any anonymous user can access it. I would like to implement mechanism for users to sign up. The first thought that crossed my mind is to use the ASP.NET membership API.
So, If I use the Membership API:

View 7 RepliesI was reading through this post here http://www.misfitgeek.com/op-ed/adding-asp-net-membership-to-your-own-database and thought to my self what the common practice is. What do developers using ASP.NET membership and authorization in their applications recommend as a best practice? creating the membership tables in the same database that stores their applications data or configuring a second database to store ONLY the membership information?.
My current setup is a different database for membership information ONLY but am thinking that increases the number of databases i have to maintain. If I have 5 applications using asp.net membership, then that means 5 more asp.net membership databases. So do you normally create the asp.net membership tables in your main database or you configure a separate membership table? what do you recommend.
I have DB (my.mdf ) with already created membership (aspnet_db tables). There are defined roles and users.
I would like to integrate it in my project.
I dropped *.mdf into App_Data folder. When I open app.net configuration (under menu Project) I can't see neither User nor Roles.
What step am I missing?
Lets assume that I have my own business layer containing my business objects and my business services. And I have decided to create a "SilverLight Business Application" (with SL v 4.0) and I want to use my already used Business Layer from the SL application I plan to develop.
I know that I cannot include a project which is not a SL project.
I'm trying to implement AJAX within an existing application and it seems to be running slow.
I have 3 datallist that all have checkboxs. I have buttons that all users to check all checkbox for a specific datalist. I have an update panel around each datalist. When I check and uncheck it seems to be really slow. I also have 3 textboxes and 4
buttons within my update panel.
When I user uses this site it hides and shows different panels and that seems to be really slow when the users press a button. There is no database stuff happening when the slowness occurs.
I have the following function that works great. The screen Dims until the response is returned to the user. However, because the process could be quite long, I have been asked if I can place a progress bar in the middle of the screen whilst it's dimmed to give the user an idea of how long the process is going to take and so that they dont think the browser has hung.
Can anybody suggest a good Progress bar plug in with an idea of how to implement into my existing function. I'm using VS2010.

I have an application in Asp.net and using sql server to store user information. There is a table named dbo.member which stores user information - fname, lastname, email, phone etc. We use LDAP for authentication. The entire application works on this member table. There is a unique userid(not password) associated with each member. I installed default aspnet_membership, aspnet_role tables by running aspnet_regsql.exe utility. Now with increasing number of applications, handling members' information is becoming nightmare. I hope Membership providers will solve this problem but I have doubts.
How can I integrate existing member table with default aspnet_membership table? Or should I integrate since it is very limited? Same is the case with aspnet_Profile - it is very limited and I have stored all profile information into member table. We store more information and we want to query all that information for a user. Should I create my own provider that will use dbo.Member table instead of dbo.Membership table and also with Profile provider?

I am trying to integrate an existing asp.net application with sharepoint 2010. I would like to be able to have a logged in user on the application access a document library via an Iframe on the sharepoint 2010 site. I want to use FBA on sharepoint. Is it possible to share the membership database from the asp.net application with sharepoint? If not, what would be the best way to accomplish this?

View 1 RepliesI'm currently developing a web application where everything works fine in the visual studio web server. It authenticates the user, access the database, writes to it, etc.
After I wrestled yesterday to publish it to my local iis, a subject I admit I have little to no experience of doing, suddenly the membership of the website started to not authenticate the users.
At first I suspected maybe the app wasn't accessing SQLServer, or that the data with the users I had in the asp.net membership database was erased when I uploaded the website.
So I stopped iis, i attached the db file to my local sql server, and I can see that all the users are there just like I uploaded them. I also can see the website can access another database with micellaneous contents just fine.
The loging controls don't tell me there's any problem either, they just show a message telling the user that the login attempt wasn't successful.
So, here's what I remember I did to make the app work as it wasn't even doing that when I first uploaded it.
I used the asp.net_regiis tool to copy website scripts to the website.
aspnet_regiis -sn <path>
then I deleted the website, uploaded again from VS. this time it shows in the browser but it doesn't authenticate the users.
The application isn't precompiled, I just uploaded it.
We are trying to implement Custom Role membership provider for our web app. For authorization we want to check for one more field like Facilityid for the logged on user along with role he has. eg. my User1 having Role1 with Facility1 can access some option and same user role for Facility2 have different option. So is there a way we can extend the existing role/profile provider to authorize user with this additional field along with role assigned.
View 1 RepliesI tried googling this and have had no luck. I would like to implement membership roles without any reference to email accounts or smtp. Does anyone have information on this topic?
View 4 RepliesOur solutions requires validating users against a custom database. This also includes roles which dictates what he user can do in the system. What is the best way to implement implement security, is it to use Windows Identity Foundation or the default Membership Provider and Role Provider that comes with .net?

I have an exiting ASP.NET website that already has user accounts in it. I would now like to simplify logon and considering the use of Janrain. Is this a recommended product? Any alternatives you have used? What do I do with my existing users (I assume I need to extend my membership db to select between them and Janrain tokens)?
View 3 RepliesAs part of a redesign for one of my clients I'd like to move them to DotNetNuke to gain the CMS and blogging features. Their existing site has some custom ecommerce functionality that an off-the-shelf package just can't handle, so I'm inclined to leave it and just re-skin to match the new site.
The challenge is making this all fit together.
I could create two physical web sites in IIS, for example:
www.website.com <-- DNN install
and
shop.website.com <-- Existing ecommerce
This would keep things isolated, but I see a problem with the SSL certificate. It's tied to www.website.com, so now I'd either need two -- one for www. and one for shop. -- or I need a wildcard certificate. Either adds ongoing expenses for the client.
I could try to encapsulate the existing site into a DNN module, but that seems like a lot of work. I could also try doing something tricky with iframes, but again I think this would just further complicate things.
I had been trying to solve this but there is a hidden key i wish someone point me to.
I had a simple membership database with users in first the Membership Provider configured for clear password to retrieve the original password .
Now a new requirement say that the password must be hashed and reset .
I configure the Membership password to hash , and Implemented the Reset Password Module.
My problem is as follow.
If the user is new registered user with the new configuration the password and the security answer is hashed.
also when I go and reset the password it continue to be hashed.
Now I thought that with new configuration if any previous user with clear text configuration , If he use the password Reset module , because my configuration now is hashed , I expected that the new password and security answer will be hashed . what happen is old user continue in clear text even if the configuration is hashed. so If I had new users everything is fine.
old users Membership Provider somehow know they had been stored in clear text and it keep change password and security answer in clear text . If I delete this user and create it , Membership Provider understand that everything will be hashed. I need to know how it know this , I need to migrate users not to delete and recreate users .
Also if there are no solution for that , I wish Microsoft Consider it in future cause it is a real user scenario, that can happen imagine a business system that related to membership user Id , deleting users and recreate them is not a solution .
So my application is on a production and running smoothly with no bugs at all. yay! My question: Is there's more efficient way of updating an existing ASP.NET application? Here's what i'm currently doing ( dont laugh that's why im asking xD):
1. I compile the project,
2. after compilation i transfer the compiled files via ftp. then i delete the existing files on my folder and put the newer one.
What are the options available to call another web applications hosted in the same server. Eg: i have a application App1 and App2 hosted on the same server.i just wanted to call App2 from App1 how would i do it.
The most important point is that I can not change the url on the address bar to call the page of the 2nd web application.
Whatever I have achieved so far is I have added a link to my 1st application which redirects to the 2nd application, but it is changing the url on the address bar, I want to redirect to the 2nd application from within the 1st application.
