Has anyone got experience creating SQL-based ASP.NET site-map providers? I've got the default XML web.sitemap file working properly with my Menu and SiteMapPath controls. But I'll need a way for the users of my site to create and modify pages dynamically. I'll need to tie page viewing permissions into the standard ASP.NET membership s...
Why is there a hardcoded chunk limit (.5 meg after compression) in memcached? Has anyone recompiled theirs to up it? I know I should not be sending big chunks like that around, but these extra heavy chunks happen for me from time to time and wreak havoc....
What's the best way to implement authentication over WCF? I'd prefer to not use WS-* as it needs to be transport independant. Should I "roll my own"? Is there any guidance for doing that (articles/blog posts)? Or is there some way to (and should I) use the built in ASP.NET Membership and Profile providers on the server side? ...
Lets say that you have websites www.xyz.com and www.abc.com. Lets say that a user goes to www.abc.com and they get authenticated through the normal ASP .NET membership provider. Then, from that site, they get sent to (redirection, linked, whatever works) site www.xyz.com, and the intent of site www.abc.com was to pass that user to the...
I'm using membership and roles for authentication in my vb .net application. We have about 5 roles in the application with certain roles filling out a specific profile value. Example is the role is store and the profile value is store number. Obviously if you work for headquarters you don't have a store number so I don't care about it. E...
When userA uploads a file, his files will be uploaded to folderA, when userB, to folderB, and so on. Roles/Profiles in ASP.NET. Folders will be pre-existing. Anyone? ...
Hello! How can I access UserId in ASP.NET Membership without using Membership.GetUser(username) in ASP.NET Web Application Project ? Can UserId be included in Profile namespace next to UserName (System.Web.Profile.ProfileBase). Thanks in advance ...
Trying to create a user account in a test. But getting a Object reference is not set to an instanve of an object error when running it. Here's my MemberShip provider class, it's in a class library MyCompany.MyApp.Domain.dll: using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Web.Security; namespace MyCompany.MyApp.Domain { ...
I have a bit of a hybrid situation on my hands. I'm writing an intranet asp.net web app. I don't want to use full blown Windows Authentication, because I don't have proper groups set up in Active Directory to be able to authenticate users simply based on what group they are in. Up until now, I had created a membership database, and was m...
I'm trying to unit test a piece of code that needs a currently logged in user in the test. Using the .Net 2.0 Membership Provider, how can I programmatically log in as a user for this test? ...
In forms model, I used to get current logged in user by Page.CurrentUser How do I get current user inside a controller class in ASP.NET MVC? ...
I'm writing a custom MembershipProvider for a legacy database. Users are authenticated by login and password, there is no e-mail attribute attached. What is the best way to "short-cycle" the FindUsersByEmail() and GetUserNameByEmail() methods? My naive approach was to leave them unimplemented, since I assume if there is no need to restor...
I am in the process of writing an application that will need multiple forms of authentication. The application will need to support authentication to Active Directory, but be able to fail back to a SQL Membership Provider if the user is not in Active Directory. We can handle the failing to the SQL Provider in code based on the username...
I've had to create a custom membership provider for my current ASP .Net project in order to fit in with our database schema, and am having problems configuring it to lockout a user if they get their password wrong three times, as is supported by the standard providers. Is this something I need to implement myself, or should it be suppor...
I’m looking for some links to further info on how EE handles Member Groups in relation to the MSM. In my case, I have two membership sites. Generally speaking, the two sites serve the same overall group of people, so the fact that the MSM shares the member database works in my favor. What I’m unclear about is how to manage the varying c...
I have a ASP.NET page which allows an administrator to change the password for a user. Since the administrator does not know the user's password, I am using the following: MembershipUser member = Membership.GetUser(_usernameTextBox.Text); member.ChangePassword(member.ResetPassword(), _passNewTextBox.Text); -- as described by this SO ...
I am writing a web app for a client. Users will have a one-time key that they will use to initially identify themselves to the app. Once the app verifies that the key is valid it will take them to a page where they can create a normal account to use for all subsequent logins. The create-account page should only be accessible after enteri...
Hi! I have this question: "Does implementing a custom MembershipProvider class needs you to implement a custom Membership class too?" I am a bit confused about implementing a custom membership framework on ASP.NET. I dont have sample classes to show you but what if the previous website used a database or schema that is different to the ...
I'm updating my website at the moment and figure that if I am to update my login/security mode, now is a good time. I have looked through the Membership model which is included in ASP.NET but I'm convinced that it will provide any benefit apart from being familiar to other .NET deevlopers. There seems to be quite a lot of documentatio...
I realise that this is an extremely open question, so let me narrow it down a bit. I am toying with the idea of creating a membership site that could replace an existing Yahoo group. I want to host the site, so that I control the data. Probably, an existing CMS could be a good starting point. The following features should be available: ...
