Asp.net Mvc - Testing User Role Authorize Attribute In .NET?
Jan 23, 2010
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 .
I'm using the Authorize() attribute to secure my controllers/actions and want to only display the Login action to unauthenticated users - or to put it another way, deny access to authenticated users. I haven't been able to find anything on the web dealing with either denying permission or allowing negative permissions (i.e., ! LoggedIn)
MVC2, .Net 4 To clarify, I want something like this: Public Class PublicController Inherits ControllerBase <Authorize()> 'Only logged-in users can logout Public Function Logout() as ActionResult [Code] .....
I'm building an Active Directory wrapper in VBNET 2.0 (can't use later .NET) in which I have the following:
IUtilisateur IGroupe IUniteOrganisation
These interfaces are implemented in internal classes (Friend in VBNET), so that I want to implement a façade in order to instiate each of the interfaces with their internal classes. This will allow the architecture a better flexibility, etc.Now, I want to test these classes (Utilisateur, Groupe, UniteOrganisation) in a different project within the same solution. However, these classes are internal. I would like to be able to instantiate them without going through my façade, but only for these tests, nothing more.
I need to define some roles in my program with defined permissions. Let's say the administrator can have access only to certain features. The officer in charge to certain features and the user as well. for example, I have several group boxes and the user can access one of it only. So how i do manage these permissions? What I want do is have the roles already with the defined permissions. When I create the user and assign the role, the user should get the permission automatically.
I am trying to use Authorize.net's SIM payment gateway process and am using the base code provided on the developer site. The problem is I am using Master Pages with my site and the hidden field names are getting concatenated with the nested control IDs as an example:
I have a role called "Customer", I wish to add users who register to be to automatically added to that role. At the moment I can only assign users to roles by using ASP.net Web Site Administration Tool.If it helps: I'm using the default login.aspx and register.aspx files from Account folder in vb web profile.
i'm having some problem over here..when user enter their id and password,it will show up the main page and its for user but when admin or staff enter their id,it will enter the user's main page and i have to click admin site on the top hyperlink where it automatically logout and once i enter back admin passwrd or staff passwrd then only it redirect to admin page or staff page.how to make it like once user enter their passwrd it redirect to user page and once admin enter admin password or staff enter their password in the login it redirect to admin or staff ?I have 3 roles over here which are admin,staff and user.Hereby i'll provide you my aspx code and also my vb code which is running behind the program.
I want the app to redirect a user to a different home page depending on their role. Its currently working for 2 users using the following IF?
If Request.IsAuthenticated AndAlso User.IsInRole("Staff") = True Then Response.Redirect("~/About.aspx") ElseIf Request.IsAuthenticated AndAlso User.IsInRole("HR") = False Then Response.Redirect("~/HRHRCompanyNavigation.aspx") End If
How can I get this to work for more than 2 user roles?
In my VS solution, I have two projects.One for the Web Interface, other for DataAcess and BusinessLogic. I know I can check if the currently logged-on user is Employee in Web Interface project like this from the code behind:
Dim isEmployee = User.IsInRole("Employee")
The problem is that I have a Class call UserManagement in my the DA and BL project which I want to check the currently logged-on user role also. I can't use Dim isEmployee = User.IsInRole("Employee") because it doesn't have aspx page.
What do I need to do to check the user role in my custom class?
what i am trying to do is :when i type in the user the system will look in my table cg_security_user and recognise that the current role is "guest". Then in the Upgrade to when i type in "admin" it will update the current role(guest) to admin here is a picture is attached of what i am trying to do as it might paint a better picture the code which i have made so far is
Private Sub cmdupdate_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdupdate.Click Dim myAdapter As New OleDbDataAdapter strsql = "update table1 set studname = @field2, studaddress=@field3, studage=@field4 where studid=@field1"

Problem: My programs throw a Trust Relationship error when calling My.User.IsInRole() but only on Windows 7 64 bits. They work on all our Windows XP stations. My code is pretty simple.
With My.User if .IsInRole("Some Security Group Name") Then Bla.. Bla.. Bla.. End If End With
I'm the only one in the company using Windows 7 which we are evaluating to decide if/when we're going to upgrade all our PC's. I am a domain administrator and my PC is in the domain and I'm authenticated. Since I installed Win 7 I haven't had any other authentication issues. The apps are built on .NET 2.0 SP2 I don't know much about our domain setup which is handled by our network administrator but I'm told that the Primary Controller is a Windows 2003 and the Secondary is Windows 2000. He tells me that by default every workstation first authenticate on the Secondary controller if it's available.
Here's the StackTrace
System.SystemException was unhandled Message="The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed. " Source="mscorlib" StackTrace:
I'm looking into adding some unit tests for some classes in my data access layer and I'm looking at an update routine that has no return value.It simply updates a row based on the id you provide at whichever column name you provide.Inside of this method, we collect the parameters and pass them to a helper routine which calls the stored procedure to update the table.Is there a recommended approach for how to do unit testing in such a scenario?
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.
I use VS team system 2008. At the moment i need to test some business classes, i have found two kinds testing NUnit and the unit testing provided by the VS team system. what are there differences?
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!
How difficult would it be to have my application check for user authorization over a network?
If I have a php server, each time someone starts my application it should connect to the server and check the users computer name against a list of authorized computers, possibly using MySQL.
I am making changes to my companies internal paysite in order to come into compliance with the new credit card regulations. We have decided that when we get a split tender transaction that comes through we want to get the remaining balance along with how much was on the card to start out with and send that info back to the customer service rep with a message relaying the need for another payment source along with the remaining balance and the amount that was originally on the card.
Instead of chaining the transactions together with the split tender Id we have decided we would like to finalize each split tender transaction with a prior_auth_capture and then request the next payment source and amount and process that transaction in the same manner. I know that we are side stepping the functionality some but those are my orders.
My questions are, is this feasible and possible and how do you do this in code? I am using the C# SDK to implement this in VB.NET 2008
My thoughts are that I would have to process the transaction for the amount passed as a auth_capture transaction and then some how do the prior_auth_transaction with a zero amount or something?
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]
