I am in support of a database driven windows application wherein the data may come from local or remote system (depending on some configuration files).Currently MS ACCESS Database is being used.Application runs smoothly when connected to local database.But when trying to connect to a remote PC Which is password protected,i am getting the following error"The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file '\XXX.XXX.X.X YYYY ZZZ.mdb'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.i am providing the credentials for database in the connection string as below.
I have a program written in VB.net 2003 that are folks run under alternate credentials. Inside the app there is an option to open a UNC path to a network share. We were running Windows XP SP3 and IE6. The code is simple just a call to the explorer.exe with /root,\UNCPath. After installing IE 8 onto the machine this no longer works. Best I can tell the code is still working but now being executed in non interactive mode so nothing opens up. You can however see a new spawned explorer.exe running under the system account for each attempt at opening a UNC Path. Any ideas what IE8 could have done to cause this behavior?

I have a Access program and I'm using VBA code in the background to run Winunzip using shell command. Well, the path of the .zip file has spaces in it and it's not recongizing the path as a valid path. Is there a another way to tackle this problem besides the shell?I can't us pkzip either. Has you can see I had to use progra~1 instead of Program Files.[code]
I am trying to write a program that goes to a webpage and gets the html and puts it into a mshtml document but I always get an error. I know this example works when the webpage doesn't require Credentials. By the way i'm using vb 2008 express.

(Control PanelAll Control Panel ItemsCredential ManagerHow would I access Windows credentials from a Visual Basic form? This is not for hacking purposes, simply knowledge and so I can recover my OWN passwords
I want to download my update files for my program from an FTP server, but i need to login first with the credentials. I have tried many things, used some examples on MSDN, googled a lot, but i can't find the code that i'm looking for... I also use a DLL of someone that i've imported into my project. I don't know if that harms my part of being unable to log in.
I have ZERO experience with FTP servers or Network Credentials, i've learned the little things about it on google.
I have a routine that sends an email via SMTP. I'm using googles smtp server - "smtp.gmail.com". I'm using my gmail email address/password as the authentication credentials. My webpage form consists of the following fields:
In testing this functionality, I've found that my problem is that when the email is sent, it uses my authentication email address (my gmail email) instead of the "User's Email Address". If I can't see the User's email address, this functionality is useless.
Here is my code below.
Private Sub FormatEmail() Dim Email_Sent As Boolean = False Dim toEmail As String = "blakemc@mail.com"
I am writing a program which will require a user to login with a different account from the one they use to logon to the computer with (as they have a normal account and an admin account). The program needs to run under their admin account.
I have made a login dialog that authenticates them ok, but my question is is there any way to make another form run under the credentials typed in on the login form? i.e program loads up the login form, but there after the program uses the credentials supplied in the login form.
I am trying to "behind the scenes" log myself into a website, from the VB code behind my ASP.NET website. But I am dumbfounded as to how to do this.
As far as I know I should be using the WebRequest or Webclient class. That is about as much as I know. I am not sure how to use the class.
I want to click a button on my website and have its Click event send a username and password to another website. This other site isot affiliated with mine. I realize the concept may seem stupid, but I plan on taking this further later, but Just need to know this now.
I want a supervisor override capability for my application.I want to provide a username login prompt (including domain). If the user is in the approved list and the password correct, show advanced controls.What .NET code / functions allow this?
NOTE: VB.net answers preferred. C# also accepted.
EDIT: the logged in user is not the user authorizing the override.
I want to diaplay a msg box in vb.net when correct credentials are not entered by user. now i m able to display the msg box but the problem is it is displayed even ehen the user enters the correct credentials . its doesnt give any error but the problem needs to be fixed. [code]
In VB.Net, I'm trying to connect to WMI on my local computer with different credentials (the user won't have admin rights) and I get this exception : « User credentials cannot be used for local connections » Here's the code :
I need to find a way to login to my router/ap with the proper credentials and read from a designated textbox from the router's page and then virtualy submit some input that I might enter in my program to go as like a textbox.
I am trying to readwrite to a UNC share from a machine that is not on the corporate domain. I'm performing a mkdir(UNCpath) command and I'm also writting by using an xml.save(UNCPath) command.
The problem is that users who are not on the domain are getting permission errors when attempting to access the unc share.
Is there a way to pass credentials automatically when attempting to access the UNC share.
I've read a bunch of posts and people have suggested mapping a network drive then writting but I would only like to do this as a last resort.
So i have a gmail email sender and when i change the credential username and password to variables it says over load resolution is there a way to fix this
SMTP.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential(useraa, passaa) but if i use a textbox.text it does work.
I've been storing SQL connection strings in web.conf which is fine but now I need to store SMTP credentials somewhere protected. web.conf seems like the likeliest place since its protected but how can they be stored?
I've added the details to my web.conf but amnot sure how to reference them
We don't want to get the password, we only want to store the user credentials so when they do work on the application we can apply their usernameto each operation and when they are done with an operation and do a digital signature by scanning their badge we want to compare the user's credentials with the stored credentials to ensure the user has logged in and is the current user.1. User 1 logs into the program using their username/password for windows.5
i hve made a application in vs2005(frame work 2.0 which has crystal report in my system i have VS2005 software crytsal report whetver i needed i hve done it a design time ie added the fields needed during design time i had placed all the reports in folder knw as reports & had given the path accordingly when i first executed the app;lication & tried to view the report i got a msg something like " reports cann not be displayed , & needs to be in the bin folder of the application" so i pasted all the reports frm report folder in bin & now its working my application is working fine but when i try to view the reports it showed me a login dialog box which contained the servername, username & password though in config file i had specified clinet servername it took the server name of my system & asked for password?

I have a client/server application running in a windows domain environment, the client application is started at log on by a scheduled task using domain admin credentials, i need to be able retrieve the username of the user who logged onto the workstation but all the methods i have tried returns the user that was used to execute the program.I have tried:
I need to open a folder on a remote server with different credentials in a window (explorer.exe).I managed to do it with no credentials (my credentials), but when I do it with another username and another password than mine, it opens a prompt to enter a username and a password, and it says "access denied".
In the access log on the remote desktop, it says that I tried to connect with my own username, and not the other username I entered. So, the process obviously did not work.
I have multiple web applications that I've built for our intranet. I wanted to allow users to not worry about logging in, so these apps pull the currently logged on user when they hit the site. I used this code for this to happen:
Dim userName As String = User.Identity.Name CurrentUser = userName.Substring(userName.IndexOf("") + 1)
This works like a charm, no issues here. The next step is to query Active Directory for that logged in user to pull various information. How I currently have it coded, it works like a charm on the devleopment side (typical because I'm not running IIS).The problem becomes when I publish it to my IIS server (Windows Server 2008 R2 running IIS 7.5), I get error messages that point to the specific line in my code that queries Active Directory. The interesting part is these apps were working great last week. They broke after my server admin did the latest batch of Windows Updates (please note, I am running them using .Net Framework 4.0)Before I had each app setup so that Windows Authentication was Enabled, the other Authentication types were disabled. For providers, Negotiate is #1, NTLM is #2. For Advanced Settings, Extended Protection = Off, and Enable Kernel-mode authentication is checked.

In doing this I also removed the string that was higher up in my web.config section. This did not work either (fyi, this was a great reference[url]I then tripped across this article: [url] which seemed to be a similar situation. This article eventually referenced "Double Hops", after looking into this and trying a few things, this didn't solve my issue either.Next StepI am going to try a new IIS 7.5 implementation on a different Server 2008 R2 system and essentially start from scratch, to see if the problem recreates or not.
i'm doing everything by the book, but the .NET client is simply not sending an authentication header when making requests to my (PHP) SOAP Web Service. I have verified this by logging the raw post data at the PHP end of things and .NET never sends any auth headers.This is the code I am running before making calls on my ExampleWebService Web Service:
ExampleWebService.PreAuthenticate = true; NetworkCredential myCred = new NetworkCredential("myusername","mypassword"); CredentialCache myCache = new CredentialCache();
[code]....
As I understand it, PreAuthenticate should force the sending of my HTTP Basic Auth Credentials on every request regardless of challenge. Does this only work with IIS hosted services?
I've spent alot of time digging thru the forums to research this problem, and to get the right code. I'm wondering now if this is a system configuration problem, or something else with my code.
Firstly, i'll tell you that i've already put the service account on my machine local security policy that says 'allow to act with/as operating system'.
Running this code from an application, it works just fine:
I want to download a file in VB.net from a website that requires credentials, all my users have their credentials to this website saved in their IE settings.Is there a way to download a file from this website using the IE credentials? I'm trying to avoid from asking my users for their credentials.I need to download many files, so i need a way to download the files programmatically.
I have to admit that I was sceptical it would work... but below is the code. I had to make a minor change to the code you suggested. Whenever I tried IPC$ it would return a 53 result code, even though I'm sure the share exists. So at the suggestion of another website I removed the share and just the computer name and this worked.
