How To Anonymously Authenticate Between A Desktop App And ASP.Net Web App
Dec 3, 2009
I'm looking for a way to pass some sort of credentials or Authorization token from a VB.Net Client to an ASP.Net web application that allows the Client to auto-login to our Forms-Authenticated website. If a user is logged into a local application, I want them to be able to view some web pages without having to login to the website as well. The credentials are not the same between the apps, but I would just like to pass some sort of encrypted token or key to the web page so I know they are coming from the desktop application. Is this possible without requiring a username and password login?
I also need to make sure this URL that is used cannot be simply copied and used from another location, so I'll need to include some sort of information in the encrypted value to know where it's coming from.I know how to login the user with Forms Authentication and all that, just need to figure out the best way to secure this.

Is there any way to create a web browser that hides your IP address and pretty much lets you surf the internet anonymously?

I'm trying to write some code that can read events from another computer's event log. I haven't used WMI or System.Management all that much before this, and despite all the examples I've found on the web (there's a lot), I cannot authenticate to another machine.
No matter how I tweak the code, I always receive a System.UnauthorizedAccessException in System.Management.dll. (The message is "Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))".) I have tried connecting to two different Vista machines on the network using their local user account information.[code]...

I am developing an application to create users on AD LDS (ADAM in the previous version). I would like to use an Active Directory account to authenticate in AD LDS, and then create and modify users (in AD LDS) but I simply don't know how to do it using VB .Net or C#. This method is used in the ADSI Edit when I choose Advanced and Specify Credentials. After some research I believe that I have to user user Proxy Bind. ADSI Edit permits to bind with a domain account. So I want to replicate that process using VB .Net (preferably) or C#. This is the code that I use to connect to AD LDS: [Code]

I was wondering if anyone could please point me in the right direction. I have spent some time looking for answers on the web and not found exactly what I need.in a nutshell:I want my program to be registered once a user enters a serial number of some sort along with their email address. I have an app for my phone and that is what I had to do to get the full version of it.

I've been googling for some VB.Net code to authenticate to a web server with the POST method, receive a session ID in a cookie, and then send this cookie along with all GET queries... but all I found is half-working code or C# code, ie. difficult to use for a VB.Net newbie.

I have a web form that uses AD to authenticate users. I want to be able to authenticate users with expired password, and redirect them to the password change page after authentication.
if for instance, a site admin reset a users password, I use the method below, to make the user reset their password on next logon.
Public Shared Sub ForceUserToResetPassword(ByVal LDAP_URI As String, ByVal UserName As String, ByVal Auth_UserName As String, ByVal Auth_Password As String)
Dim LDAPEntry As DirectoryEntry = Nothing

Some of u already know I'm making a 'virtual desktop'- thing.Only one problem. When switching to a new desktop it starts a new instance of my app in that desktop (works) and on the form load event it says process.start("explorer.exe") <- here is the problem. It only shows a window not the actually bar.Also this may be important it shows the window, but when I navigate to explorer.exe 'C:Windowsexplorer.exe' and open it there. The explorer bar does show up.

I'm working on one of my applications and I'm trying to find a way to use the "Go To Desktop" function that goes directly to the desktop without minimizing any window (This can be achieved by clicking on the Win + D buttons or on the desktop icon in the quick launch toolbar), but how can I activate it using vb? I thought about sending keys but I guess there is more offical ways to do it.

Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop)The main reason is we area talking about an Environment that has XP, Win Server 2003 (TS), Win Server 2008 and Win 7. Obviously different path depending on the OS. I need to copy a file to a users desktop and would like to do so without having to hardcode the path as it could change depending on where they are working from.

how to POST to a php file form a vb.net app: http:[url].... So now I've logged in the user user by posting their username and password to the php file, the php file then does security/checks they exist/etc and if both username and password are correct is stores the user ID in a session variable.Now if the vb.net app tries to download data off a page which needs the user to logged in, it checks this by doing:
if (!isset($_SESSION['uid'])) {
header("Location: index.php");
}
However after having logged correctly in the app the session variable is not set.How does session work with a vb.net app like this?When the user logs in successfully should I download the user id and keep it in the vb.net app and then post it to each page that requires authentication?

I'm making "Sticky Notes" and I want to be able to pin those stickies to the desktop. Sorta like a BottomMost function. Is there something like that I can use and if not, how would I even go about making a function that would keep my form on the desktop?
'Pins the program to the desktop
If saved = False Then
saved = True : PinToDesktopToolStripMenuItem.Checked = True : lblClose.Visible = False : Me.ShowInTaskbar = False
Else
saved = False : PinToDesktopToolStripMenuItem.Checked = False : lblClose.Visible = True : Me.ShowInTaskbar = True
End If
The reason I'm not going to mark it resolved is because if I click pin to desktop and the desktop isn't the application directly under my application then I have to minimize every program to get it to stay on the desktop.
