Passing Current User Credentials From IIS Server To Reporting Services Sever?
Aug 8, 2011Question: How to pass the current user on the web page from the IIS server to the Reporting Services Server.I have seen this topic throughout the forums. However, the answers are always hard code the user in web.config - use a login window and pass those fields to the IReportServercredentials or create one user for everyone.
When the person who asks the question comes back and says that doesn't work there is not answer.Does anyone know how to do this? I have VS 2008 ( and 2010 ) I am sending the info to SSRS 2005 server.As anyone using SSRS knows that if the reports have parameters and udf behind the report to inspect who the user is, then you have to pass that user to the report.
[Code]...
I have been programming steady with vb.net for a year now and was all happy about using the List view and email etc from web sites. I even used a reportviewer to pdf to email attach, cool. Now I feel quite lost and realize I have not been using properties, etc. That is my background.
UserPrincipal.Current.ChangePassword Does Not Update Cached Credentials
Jun 29, 2010I'm writing a program which assists users update passwords for our windows systems and some other applications. Everything is working except when I call the UserPrincipal.Current.ChangePassword command cached credentials are not updated like they are when you change a password using the windows OS password change.
That is: when a remote user who is VPN'd in uses my application to change passwords, when they reboot and VPN is disconnected, they are forced to login to windows using there old password.
Is there a way I can force windows to update the cached credentials to the new password so upon reboot they are able to login using this new password?
Access Current User Information Via LDAP?
May 24, 2012How can I access the current user information via LDAP and VB.Net 2.0*? I found a vbscript that works, but I'd rather have it done in .net
Dim objSysInfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo")
Dim strUser = objSysInfo.UserName 'returns current user account
Dim objUser = GetObject("LDAP://" & strUser) 'queries active directory for user account
I'm using the framework 2.0 because it is for more likely in my XP/Vista/7 World to have 2.0 installed than 3.5 or 4.0

Storing User Network Credentials?
Nov 1, 2011We 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.

Pass Current Web Credentials From Asp.net Web Application To Windows Client Application
Nov 20, 2011I'm developing a web application that requires the user to log in using forms authentication. inside the webpage you need to download a desktop application that requires to login to the same system too. Is there a way to transfer the current logged credentials from the web application to the windows desktop application without need to login again?.

View 1 RepliesASP.Net (IIS 7.5) Querying Active Directory Without User Credentials?
Dec 20, 2011I 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.
[code]...
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.

Sep 28, 2006Is there any way to use a VB form to supply user credentials to the Runas command in command prompt? I basically need something exactly the same as the GUI for RunAs but just for Internet Explorer (yes I know you can right click and go RunAs but that cant be done in this case). So the user would open this VB form, type their username and password in, hit OK and it would open Internet Explorer with their credentials (they log in under a generic account used by many people).
