Security :: How To Create A User Login Control Without The Use Of Web Admin Tool
Apr 17, 2010
I'm looking for a way to create a login control without the use of web admin tool
Here are my system requirements
Windows 7 Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition ESET Anti-virus but SQL and Studio files excluded from being scanned. I have got a database. I've created the front end of the user login control manually not using the toolbox. Basically what I need is that once a user has registered. He then logs in. when he enters his username and password how do I code it so the database realises it's him/her and takes them to their LOGGED IN user
Im using Visual Studio 2010. I'm new to asp.net. I'm trying to do a simple user login page but whenever I try to launch the Web Administration tool, I keep getting some exception error. The below images is the error I encountered.
I want to put a Login Control and a Create User Control on the same page.. just wondering, before I start am I going to run into any problems by doing this?
I have a question with this tool. I have a database listed in the App_folder, and the database has a connection in Server explorer. The connection string is listed in the web.config file, and I am able to add users and roles with the Web Admin Tool. However,when in the Web Admin Tool, under Configuration tab, I receive an error when I click on the "test" button. The error reads " Could not establish a connection to the database.If you have not yet created the SQL Server database, exit the Web Site Administration tool, use the aspnet_regsql command-line utility to create and configure the database, and then return to this tool to set the provider."
I'm dealing with a scenario where a legitimate user doesn't have a clue about his password, secret question or the answer. So, I was trying to create an admin tool that would help me in situations like these where the admin should be able to type in username and reset the password without having to know/enter answer to secret question. I understand that I need to make some changes to the web.config for this to work. I thought I made all the changes but my ResetPassword() requests are still not working.
i m currently creating an article module, and i want if user wana comment on to the any particular artical, than he should login any of his mail id like gmail, yahoo hotmail etc and than post his or her comment and after than comment should go into the DB.
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!)
I noticed this server control is unique in that even though you can convert it to template, you still cannot access the Create User button, unlike most composite user controls, where every child control is accessible after you convert the server controls to templates.
In my web site I have a admin login page to edit the contents. Is it necessary that the default page has to be the login page..............Because in web.config file , under Authentication of Forms am using loginurl="MyLoginPage.aspx"......So is it compulsory that the Default.aspx =MyLoginPage.aspx.i mean to ask i should not change the name of default page or what?
I'm starting out learning some ASP.Net programming and I'm going to be making a little community website for my friends and myself.
I was thinking of having a usercontrol and have that 'loginBox' shows the appropriate textboxes and login button, but also show his username when he is logged in.
Do you think I should handle this as a user control or am I missing something as an ASP.Net newbie?
I am creating an application hosted on GoDaddy.com. The base files are kept in a folder called /sky while the Admin files and User files are kept in /sky/Admin and /sky/User respectively. I'm having difficulty configuring the security so that when a user tries to access Admin or User files they should be redirected to the login.aspx file in the /sky folder. I keep getting an error that its trying to access sky/sky/login.aspx instead of just sky/login.aspx.
Here are the relevant sections of my web.config file.
login control portion of Murach's web dev w/ c# book. According to the books instructions, you create a Login.aspx page, add the login control to the page, and create the users and roles for the directories within the asp.net web site configuration tool. I still do not get prompted for user name and passord to access the pages I want to be secured. Why is this? Isn't the asp.net configuration tool supposed to edit the web.config file? I'm trying to follow the book to the letter and ensure that I am following correctly before posting for answers online. According to the book you do not have to edit anything or write code withing login.aspx page.
I have an ASP.Net application that uses the Membership Login Control. The thing is, we wanted to avoid giving our members more than they need to worry about, so we didn't want to have to make each a custom username. So the thing is, I want to make the Login Control display a DropDown List populated with a list of usernames as opposed to a text box.

This is my third site that I use role management, but the first time this happens. I have two roles: Member and Admin. If Admin user login, Admin node on sitemap shows. It works very well on my local machine in Visual Studio Express 2008 and in Visual Studio Team 2008. But once I deploy files to live site, even admin login, the Admin node doesn't show. I have a Member management page from which I may see member's role, and I can see that user name is in the role Admin. What could be wrong?
I used ASP.Net Configuration manager to create roles, users, and access roles. Here is the code:
