Security - Storing Windows Username + Password
Jan 6, 2011
I'm writing a backup program for personal (for the moment at least) use.
For some directories (network directories / protected directories) credentials are needed to access them.
I can setup different jobs in the program to run at specific times.
These jobs are stored in an XML file.
I want to also store the usernames and passwords which the jobs will need.
What and where would be the best way to store these?
Changing permissions on the directories is not an option.

I am consuming a webservice and need to pass username and password using WS-Security. I need to pass the Username/password in the SOAP Header. However, I need to encrypt it using 3DES encryption using the key provided by a vendor. The language I am using is .Net (1.1) (vb.net).

Does anyone know how to store the connection string in a file rather than hard coding it in the application. For example i have declared this connection string in the form to connect to oracle database and it works. But i assume this is not the right way to go by if one is looking for more secured environment.
strcon = "Provider=MSDASQL;" & _
"Driver={Microsoft ODBC for Oracle}; " & _
"CONNECTSTRING=(DESCRIPTION=" & _

I am a SQL Server Developer and DBA. I have some experience in VB.Net (Windows Application) programming. I used to use .config to setup database user and password. I have a windows application running on my computer. I would like to check which username and password is used to connect to SQL Server Database.

I hv to create a login for my windows appn(this is the first tym i am creating a login in visual studio) i am unable to figure out exactly what should i do
I tried the following:
Public Function User_Login(ByVal unam As String, ByVal pwd As String) As Boolean
ada = New OleDbDataAdapter("Select * from UserProfile where UName='" + unam + "' and
[CODE]...
Now i called this function on the button click of my login form and passed the values of username and password textboxes as parameters to it. But the problem arising is that it is logging in by simply clicking the button irrespective of what is entered in the username and password textboxes.
I think this is because ds.Tables.Count is never 0(whether the username and password match or not) Use code tags when posting your code. Code tags are used like so =>

basically i want to create a login to my program which uses the same username and password as windows login.I already know how to retrieve username and auto place it in the username box using
TextBox1.Text = Environment.UserName.ToString
i wondered is there an easy way to only allow access if the password matches up to their logon? i dont know about setting up databases but i dont think this option would work because each member of staff can personally choose their password.

I am looking to create a simple password box that will ask the user for a username and pass, if the user is validated against the usernames and passwords in an .ini file the login box will close and launch a program also stated in the .ini file. I would also like to be able to launch different programs for different users.

recently discovered the My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile method and would love to use it to download files from a website (https://www...). I can include a username and password in the DownloadFile parameter list,but will it send the password in plain text? If so, is there a way to send an encrypted password?
There seem to be many ways to download files. What are the advantages or typical uses of each?

While a web page -which needs login- is opened in my browser, if I close browser and re-open, I have to write username password again. But, sometimes when I close browser and re-open for the same page, it isn't needed username and password again? Is it about Session, Cookie? If yes, why are there different conditions?

when you log in a username and a password a msgbox will show that you are log in, and then when you enter the same username and password, the program will identify that the username and password is log out. no button will be use in here.

I have a form just like the login form in VB.Net. The usernames are prepopulated on a combobox with datas from the SQL DB backend, and the text box for the password entry is empty. My code is working but what I need help is, for the code to validate the username and password entered against that stored on the SQL DB backend. Like when the user selectes a wrong username but the password entered is correct, there shld be a messagebox like "The username selected is wrong", or if the username is correct and the password entered is wrong then the msg is "The password entered is not correct, please type you password using the right case".
Try
conn.Open()
Dim SelectStm As String = "SELECT * FROM tblStaff WHERE UserName = @UserName AND Password = @Password"
Dim objCmd As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand(SelectStm, conn)

I have successfully saved account details to a .dat file (username, password, account type).the issue is however, that any username works with any password, for example, if the file were "user1 password1 user2 password2".I would be able to log in using "user1" as the username and "password2" as the password, i think i'm missing something?

I had one user in my db and when using this code it validates my username and password, but when I added a second user, it does not validate the second user, only the first one. I removed the first user and added it to my db after the new user, but it did the same. What can I do to make sure it actually runs through rows in the db and compare the information in the text box with the information in the database?
