I'm working on upgrading a solution in VB.NET that is heavily based on Active Directory. As of now, I'm trying to add a PC restriction to a new AD User upon user creation. Essentially, I need to update the Logon To attribute to include 1 or more PCs, how do I go about doing this? I learned that I am interested in the IADsUser property "LoginWorkstations" url...). As of now, I have code that can fetch this attribute from any AD user, but I cannot set it. [code]I've tried testing this approach with a different attribute and it works just fine. Not much out there on Google either unfortunately.
This might seem obvious but I was doing some research and I was wondering if a service application start an executable. I know an .exe cannot start without some sort of logon but I was wondering if it was possible to work around this by having my service call it.
I am wanting to create a logon similar to the Windows Live logon, so in other words. user has frmLogon and is located in Australia. The user enters his/her details and then the program connects to a server in the United States and checks the Username and Password to make sure it is correct if it is correct it allows the user to logon and move to the next stage, if it is wrong it will give him an error message. I am wondering if anyone has a tutorial or source code laying around that I can rip apart and see how it works. I want to put the database on my server and connect to it from my desktop using the logon form.
I am currently creating a tool that can manage local user accounts on Windows-PCs. I am using the functions described on
this MSDN page ; and after some struggling, I got most of them to work.
Unluckily, I haven't found a way to set the option "User must change password at next logon" while creating a new user account. I use the
NetUserAdd -Function to create the new user. I set the level to 1 and supply a
USER_INFO_1 -Structure . This structure accepts flags, and the flag UF_PASSWORD_EXPIRED seems to be exactly what I want - but when I set it, the user can log on without changing the password first...
I'm developing on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit using Visual Studio 2010 Express.
Here's my code:
#Region "Constants" Public Const UF_PASSWORD_EXPIRED As Integer = &H800000 Public Const USER_PRIV_USER As Integer = 1
i could use some help with this program i'm making, Script:
Public Class logon
Private Sub logon_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Try Dim client As New Net.WebClient RichTextBox1.Text = client.DownloadString("ftp://null:null@null.com/users.txt")
I just setup my old pc to run SQL Server and VisualSVN. I have a laptop and another pc that i need to work on a website and that is why i setup subversion and sql server on a seperate pc. I have set up VisualSVN and ToirtoiseSVN but im getting SQL Server Problems below is how im connecting to the DB[code]...
I got the error "Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password."
sServer is 1 of our server machine.
The Windows 7 machine already logged in to the sServer as administrator, and it also login to the Windows 7 machine as administrator. I run the VB program as Administrator (right click - Run as Administrator).
In the Windows 7 machine I can go to Windows explorer and copy the file manually from the sServer machine to the Application.StartupPath folder.
When my application starts, one of the first thing it does is load a list box with data from an Excel file stored on our server.To prevent an issue I had with two or moreengineers trying to load the data from the same file at the same time, I added code that copied the Excel file to a temporary file (which is,hen, deleted when the data load is done).This has been working fine up until last week. Last week our company moved to a new building.The move included servers and all. Suddenly I'm getting inundatedwith complaints from engineers about my application.It seems that they started getting the following error
I have coded up a service, and I would like it to monitor when a user logon to the system fails. Is there an event I can handle for this? Or, a message that is broadcast? Or, is it possible to get the failed logon counter for the local system?
I created a program with all our clients user name's and password that will be used to log on a web page from our company so i can modify there settings. So far so good i created a form with a combo box to pick a name and then a simple click on the button opens form2 with a browser in it. This browser automatic logs on the page it loads. You should say mission accomplished and we are done........ not yet this stupid page got something nasty in it. If i want to open our clients reports it opens in a new browser and this is something i can't change. So basically what happens if i click the report it opens in the standard user defined browser installed on my machine. This means i get a log in screen again cause my session is in the VB.net browser.
Let me show the code i use at moment that i use to auto log on. For some reasons i did cut out the URL's out of my code. (privacy, security etc.)

I am using ASP.NET MVC to build a site. I am using VB as programming language.I have couple of questions.
1 I have created a role "Manager". How Do I check if a user belongs to this particular role?
For now I am using If My.User.IsInRole("Manager") Then 'Direct to a view Else 'Direct to another view End If Is this the right way? 2 How to use the Authorize attribute to limit access to a Function?
I know in C# it goes [Authorize (Roles ="Manager")] but not sure in VB. Also can I define property to redirect a user who does not have "Manager" role to a particular view when trying to access this function .
So - I have some text in an RTF control. I want the user to be able to highlight text and apply an attribute. The following code is placed into a button called BOLD and seems to work nicely:
If rtfText.SelectedText.Length > 0 Then rtfText.SelectionFont = New Font(rtfText.SelectionFont, FontStyle.Bold) End If
The code above will turn the selected text bold.
But then the user selects the Same text and with the following code placed into a button called ITALIC it removes the bold attribute and replaces it with italics.
If rtfText.SelectedText.Length > 0 Then rtfText.SelectionFont = New Font(rtfText.SelectionFont, FontStyle.Italic) End If
Since the users actions are separate - I can not know that they want BOLD and ITALIC, so how do I make sure I keep the existing attribute on the selected text (which, by the way could be part bold and part not-bold) and add italic?
Somehow I need to add the italic attribute to the selected text, not simply replace all attributes with italic.
I've added an attribute for a user readable display name to my Enum values.However my code to convert from the user readable display name back to the Enum (function ToEnum) seems very convoluted.I am wondering if I am missing a better way of doing this (I am using Visual Studio 2010 with SP1.) [code]
I'm struggling to return user details from AD using LDAP, after i have authenticated that the user exists. I am using a simple auth method as follows:
Function AuthenticateUser(path As String, user As String, pass As String) As Boolean Dim de As New DirectoryEntry(path, user, pass, AuthenticationTypes.Secure) Try Dim ds As DirectorySearcher = New DirectorySearcher(de) Dim result As SearchResult = ds.FindOne()
[Code]...
the problem is that "distinguishedName" returns "DC=our-domain,DC=co,DC=uk" and "name" returns just "our-domain", not the name of the user that has just been auth'ed
Note: the displayName.text outputs are purely for debug purposes.I have tried various combos of requests but nothing seems to return USER details. ETA: to the security police: this is all within a https connection, I'm not sending passwords about in plain text!
I get an error when I try to build my project.'SSLAccessFiltercannot' be used as an attribute because it does not inherit from 'System.Attribute'. [code]
I was originally hoping to use the UserAccountControl Flags found hereASSWD_CANT_CHANGE flag like one would expect. This lead me to this posting Preventing an Active Directory user from changing his/her password using DirectoryServices but I cannot get the saving working.
Here's the code I have right now. Dim domainContext As PrincipalContext = New PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain) Dim user As UserPrincipal = UserPrincipal.FindByIdentity(domainContext, "user5")

I did a quick google search however all I could find are tutorials that make the form and database in the same project which localizes the database.. I want to put the database on my server and connect to it from my desktop using the logon form..
I created a report by using crystal report. I used ado.net connection for this. I created a dataset and joined report.[code]This is OK in first load time. And when I clicks print button in report view, the report view ask logon information.
I'm using Windows 7 Pro (32bit) and have .NET 3.5 and 4 installed.I have written a .NET screensaver and have enabled it to run on the Windows logon screen.[code]BUT when I'm logged in the screensaver works.So it isn't a faulty installation of the .NET framework, or else it wouldn't work fullstop.
I need to logon to a NAS Drive to query directory listings. All users will be logging into a domain. The NAS also has security set up on it with a different username password.
I will have a handful of users (maybe 10 - each logging into the same domain, but from different pc's) that will need to access a NAS Drive to query a directory structure. All will have physical access, and can connect via windows explorer (manually entering a user and pass).
During my first attempt via my app - I get the error "Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password" Which is good cause I only want a handful of users logging on to this drive. If I logon to the drive via Windows Explorer and then go back to the app and it works.
So what I did was create a multi form app.
- At launch the parent form loads (as well as a logon window within that form). The logon window auto fills a text box with a username. That is pulled from the current logged on user - or can be replaced. I would like each user to then enter a password -> send that to the NAS for authentication -> then either open the app (mentioned above) or give some kind of a message box saying they now have connectivity to the drive.
I am writing a app to list the printers on various print servers and map the printer.My only problem is that I need the user to enter their domain credentials to gain access to the print server.I cant figure out how to connect to the print server using those credentials.If I try this:dim My PrinterServer as New PrintServer(\PServer1)I get a logon failure.How do I pass the credentials?
I was thinking about replacing my log on screen. I don't just mean changing the background style or whatever, I mean a totally different app, which would allow users to log on and off. I'm prepared to spend a serious amount of time on this, and I just wanted to know if it is concievably possible, and if anyone's ever done it before? I want to do this because I'm sick of the Vista log on screen. This doesn't neccesarily have to be made in vb, I could de-compile the .dll files which make up the logon screen and then re compile them.
I have a VB.NET project and I want to know how I can call a class called StartUp.vb BEFORE my logon form.
Here below is the coding of Startup.vb class
[Code]...
The problem is: I couldn't find a way to call this StartUp.vb file and therefore I am unable to call my LogonUI form, I also try to "right click" the vb project and select "properties" and go to "Startup form", couldn't see the class of "Startup.vb" showing up
I have tried my best but failed so i have decided to discuss with u all about this matter.when i run Given below code on my current system it's OK but when i install this on my client machine then it gives my a window during call Print button event that ask for User Name and Password which are filled according to my setting.But there is no database name that is given by me. Any one can help me about this problem.
