Iis - Configure Application To Use Two Authentication Methods?
Dec 20, 2010
I am new to ASP.NET development and moreover I am only extending an existing application which i did not create.
I have a working ASP.NET application which uses "Forms authentication" throughout all its pages. I have added a new webservice in a subfolder "webservicesDummy.asmx". This webservice works fine but because it should be called by an external application which can't authenticate through a form, i need to enable "Integrated Windows Authentication (Basic Authentication or Digest Authentication)" ONLY for the subfolder "webservices".
I tried to configure it in IIS but it did not work. So that i can set a different authentication method i have to create the folder "webservices" as an "Application". But if i do so then my function stops working with the error "Could not create type 'Dummy'."
Is it possible to have one web application and to authentication methods ? If yes how is it configured in IIS ?
Or what would be the better way if i need ONLY one page (webservice) to use a different authentication then the rest of my application.
PS: I use Windows 2008 Server and the app runs on .NET Framwork 2.0

I am developing a C# / ASP.NET web application in VS 2008 on a 32-bit XP. I created a Login.aspx file for the user to enter a user name and password initially before seeing any data. This functionality works now from VS. I added users and roles by entering ASP.NET Configuration. However, after publishing to IIS 6.0, the password does not work there. How do I configure Directory Security in IIS for the same user name and password to work?

We have intranet based web application in ASP.Net, needs to be configure for single sign on authentication at client place.
Our client has existing intranet based web site in classic ASP. After successful login to this site in asp, employee will have a link to access our web portal without entering any credentials again. Please note that both sites are having differnet virtual
directories or different domains.
Is there any way to achieve this sinlge sign on authentication than LDAP or Cokie based authentication.
Does Microsoft 3.5 provides some enterprise service to acheive the same?

I'm building a new ASP.NET MVC application (in C#) and one of the requirements is to create a new database of members. For this, we'd need roles to manage the different types of members and profiles to manage the additional metadata attached to each member. So far so good, just use the standard MembershipProvider, RoleProvider and ProfileProvider provided as part of the .NET Framework.
However, the catch is that I'd like to allow different authentication methods. I'd like Accounts and Login Credentials to have a one-to-many relationship (one account can have a number of login credentials attached). A user for example, might have both an OpenID and ActiveDirectory account attached to their account.
However, after experimenting with a few ways we opted for the MembershipProvider route (explained how it was achieved as an answer below).
It appears to be something that is achieved on quite a number of sites, yet a search on here doesn't return anything solid to play around with.
EDIT: After looking around for a good period of hours overnight and this morning - I'm still not convincinced that butchering a single MembershipProvider would have been the easiest option. Does having multiple MembershipProviders give the same effect?
BOUNTY EDIT: With no responses, I am assuming that there is no more optimal solution that the one I posted as an answer. Is this really the case? I'm offering a bounty to try and see if anyone has any further thoughts on this and whether there are better alternatives.
BOUNTY ACCEPT EDIT: I think that WIF is the answer as accepted below, for a .NET 4 release and maybe other versions as it probably works with 3.5. Other than that, maybe a butchered MembershipProvider or adapted one may still be relevant.

We are developing a web app that will have a pretty complex user and permission system. The general idea is that we have 3 levels of security:
a simple user - that can only access basic data that is in a data repository
a manager - that can open up data repositories
a superuser - that can open up repository factories.
Each repository contains various data types(text, images, etc etc). We are looking for authentication methods that will allow us:
1. Scalability.
2. Customization.
3. To create permissions that will effect the GUI + deny access to certain pages.
4. To create predefined roles - that will allow for easy setup of new users.
5. To create custom roles for specific users - allowing them permission sets that are different from the predefined roles.

I am building a sort of administration control panel which is basically just giving the end user the ability to manage the database through my app rather than knowing Management Studio. Creating lists of users, creating events that the users can attend etc, nothing too complex. So I am basically building the whole thing using JQuery AJAX with ASP.Net to make the DB connection and what not. My Jquery code just calls a different static method in my pages code behind for each different task, passing JSON back and forth.
From what I've seen results-wise so far, my interfaces are much quicker (almost instant) and even tasks on the server take less time to return through JQuery. But if you looked at my javascript code, you can see the "Page.aspxMyMethod". That means that people can access my methods just by sending a request from anywhere? Will forms authentication prevent this because it goes through an aspx page or what?

I'm getting this error when I was uploaded my files to online server.
It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level. This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS.

I have developed a web project using PowerBuilder V12.0 and it is published in ASP.net web file formats (*.aspx).
I have hosted my web project on a web server machine with operating system (Windows Server 2003-Enterprise Edition) and IIS V6.0 as Web Server Hosting Application.
I would like to make the home page (Default.aspx) opened maximized so that no internet toolbars appears in the Internet Explorere or any other internet browser like Firefox and so on.
It seems this is a web server configuration and setting as now I host the same web application in two development web servers and it opens maximized in one of them and opens normal in the other so No changes are needed in the web project files.
I do not know exactly what is this option or configuration,, Is there a property like window size or width and height in web configuration files like web.config and machine.config ? I guess there is a property like WindowSize:Maximized.

Trying to do basic webclient data pull in C#, and the methods are not available in visualstudio, and the code is not compiling.
//snip
WebClient client = new WebClient();
byte[] resp = client.DownloadData(url);
//snip
Error 1 'System.Net.WebClient' does not contain a definition for 'DownloadData' and no extension method 'DownloadData' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Net.WebClient' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) C:UsersMichaelDocumentsVisual Studio 2008Projectssearch2search2MainPage.xaml.cs'm doing this in a c# file for a XAML/Silverlight project, but can't imagine why that would make a difference. I can not find any reference to this issue on the web, and I had something similar to this working last month, but in a regular ASP.NET page, not in a Silverlight app.

I've been tasked with creating a dorm signup/management application for the University at which I work. The application will have a front-end and a back-end. The front-end will be utilized by students.
Front-End:
A student will login and see a selection of dorm buildings they are eligible to reside in (based on gender, class level, etc.).Student will click on dorm they are interested in residing in. A new set of options will appear - a list of available rooms they are eligible for within that dorm.Student will clock on the room they are interested in residing in. They will see how many spaces are open and who is currently residing in that room. They can then choose to add themselves to the room.Obviously, students will also be able to remove themselves from rooms and navigate backwards and forwards through the various levels - e.g. if they get into a dorm or room and see it isn't what they want they will be able to go back to the entire dorm orthe entire campus.
Back-End:
Administration will be able to assign students to specific rooms and/or dorms.They will be able to set time windows in which certain students, class levels, etc. can select their dorm room. This is the essential functionality of the applicaiton. Pretty simple. I'd like any recommendations on the best way to write this application and anything I might be missing. I've been doing some preliminary work trying different ideas.
I've been using LINQ to tie into the data sources - which seems to be working fairly well. The one area I'm having some difficulties with with dynamic control rendering and event handling. Since the application doesn't know which dorms or rooms will be available until it knows who the student is, the controls need to be generated dynamically.

I have an extension method as follows:
public static class PageExtensions
{
public static int GetUserId(this Page targetPage)
{
var user = Membership.GetUser(targetPage.User.Identity.Name);
return (int)user.ProviderUserKey;
}
}
Now in a page I need to use this method in a static WebMethod, so I have added another 'extension method' to PageExtensions:
public static int GetUserId()
{
return (int)Membership.GetUser(HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name).ProviderUserKey;
}
and I call it as follows in my WebMethod: PageExtensions.GetUserId()

I am beginner in web applications development. I started one little project and host it on source forge "https://homoco.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/homoco". And I started implementing authentication in this application to learn how it works. From my experience people never use out of the box things so I want to implement this stuff alone (like in real world projects). So some questions:
1) Is there any reason to use membership out of the box? To use database table schema, stored procedures etc. that tool generate for developer. I think that this lower control over code and I decided to implement it my self. I don't know if I am right.
2) Is my approach in this demo project good or bad (if someone have time I like to do just a little code review)? I created database based on business rules. Not using database schema that membership provider require. Extend "MembershipProvider" class to satisfy my needs. Implement queries to database myself.
3) Now, this question is a little wired but I have to ask it. If we make custom Membership Provider and do sql queries alone, implement all MembershipProvider class methods ourselves, and in application use Membership.blabla() why is this approach different from not extending MembershipProvider class and putting all this methods in some unique class and call its methods then? I hope that someone understand what I ask here.
I am sorry for three questions, but I really trying to find the best way to implement this feature in my demo project like it is a real world application.

I have a web application that will be used by the public. This application has a login credentials requirement.
I don't want to create yet another site that you have to create a custom username/password combination unless you really want too. I would like to support 3rd party logins like Facebook, Twitter, etc...
In the end this website could run in the Azure cloud as well so I am open to anything special to that.
One thing to note is the Microsoft Membership Provider that is part of ASP.NET is a great way to have custom login/passwords with a nice integration into MVC code. What I would love is that Provider opened up to allow 3rd party logins.

I have seen some articles about different types of authentication in online. But i have not used any thing particular.I build a web application that user can register and login an after that.In that application when the user comes to loginpage and enter the user name and password and on click of the login button,the validation is done against the data in DataBase. So i am not getting the any idea of form level authentication with the user details in the webconfig file. For what type of applications we use this type of authentication. Can anybody help to get an idea about this authentication.

Here's the situation, I've got a console application that needs to run once a day and make a few requests to pages that require authentication to view. The pages are hosted in a really basic ASP.Net Web Application.
So, I know that in order for the requests to go through successfully I have to authenticate with the server. So I've hooked up the console application to the ASP.Net Membership Provider I'm using for the web app and it successfully determines if a set of a credentials are valid. However, after calling Membership.ValidateUser() any requests I make just get the login screen. After doing some reading it seems that this is because I'm missing the important cookie information that persists my login or what-have-you.
I'm using a basic WebClient to make the requests and then reading/discarding the result.
So the meat of the question is this: Is there a simple way to validate the login information and hold on to it so that I can make the requests successfully, or is this the exact same case as the other two questions I found that require the WebClient to make a "manual" login request to the login.aspx page and try to hold on to the cookie from there?
The questions I'm referencing are:

I need to have 2 separate logins for my asp.net web site. Firstly I need to block access to the site entirely and show an unstyled log-in page (so it doesnt show the layout of the site).
This login is only needed whilst the website is in development.
Secondly, I need another login for a "members area" of the site. This is part of the functional site and will be permanent.
I'm at a loss as how to manage these 2 logins. I had first thought of using Windows authentication to allow preview access to the site and then forms authetication for the members part but according to IIS7 I "cant run Challenge based and Log-in redirect based authentication simultaneously".
