Forms Authentication and using Current User Credentials programmatically - ASP.NET Discussion Boards

Re: Hold a page before redirecting it to another one.

You have to parse the href yourself to get the value. A quick google gave this.

I hope that helps.

You can then redirect based on the parameter returned.

window.location = url

where url is the reutrned query string.

Unless you are running a Windows Server OS your concurrent connections are limited. There is a maximum number of concurrent requests that your workstation IIS will serve.

If you want more concurrent connections you may have to move your application to a server.

Forms Authentication and using Current User Credentials programmatically

Antony M Kancidrowski28-Jul-09 23:57

Using Forms Authentication and locking down the path so you need to be authenticated to access the pages / data.

I am trying to use the current authenticated user credentials in order to process a web request within the .aspx page that the user has navigated to. Code as below:

HttpWebRequest req = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(uri);
req.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
        
WebResponse res = req.GetResponse();

NOTE: the uri is valid.

The response is a redirect to the login page (bad credentials redirect to login page) and not the requested data provided by the web request.

I am struggling to find what I need to do in order for this request to be processed as though it was the current authenticated user.

Any advice is most appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Forms Authentication works (by default) by storing an encrypted ticket as a cookie upon login, which the authentication module then reads and interprets to determine the currently logged in user.

For the situation you describe to work (if I am not misunderstanding you), the uri that forms your HttpWebRequest needs to either be in the same web application (which would be very unlikely) or it would be to a web application that is configured to use forms authentication with the same machineKey as the calling application. Configuring multiple applications with a common machineKey in web.config is one way to achieve single sign-on, allowing the user to have one login that passes through to other applications. You can read the following article, under "Web Farm Deployment Considerations" to see how:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms998288.aspx[^]
There is also a bunch of blog articles describing single signon you can find by googling "asp.net forms authentication single sign-on"

Then from the calling application it would be a matter of adding the forms authentication cookie that has already been created (again through the successful submission of a user login form) to the request object's CookieContainer[^] prior to making the call. If the target application is configured correctly, it will automatically interpret the cookie and the forms authentication credentials to determine the user.

Many thanks Mike, getting the cookie and adding it to the request CookieContainer is exactly what I wanted.

Just for others to reference I have included my code.

HttpWebRequest req = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(uri);
        
// Add the current authentication cookie to the request
HttpCookie cookie = HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies[FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName];
Cookie authenticationCookie = new Cookie(FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName,
                                                    cookie.Value,
                                                    cookie.Path,
                                                    HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Authority);

req.CookieContainer = new CookieContainer();
req.CookieContainer.Add(authenticationCookie);

WebResponse res = req.GetResponse();

Hi,

if you have an ASP.NET button you can register for the click-event of the button. Within the event handler use Response.Redirect to navigate to the other page.

It's not a bug, it's a feature!

Check out my CodeProject article Permission-by-aspect.

if the application is xbap application which has been published and has its url . Can it be done the same way . If not then how?

Re: asp.net3.5

SeMartens29-Jul-09 0:03

So is the calling app an xbap app or the is it the page you want to navigate to?

If you want to navigate to an xbap app it should work without problems (only in IE). If you want to do this in an xbap app you should post the question in the XAML/WPF forum, maybe someone would know this over there.

It's not a bug, it's a feature!

If it doesn't have a frame, javascript can't help. You'd be creating a floating div.
