How do I ensure I have authorization to the root page of my website?
c#,asp.net,webforms,forms-authentication
I ended up using this code (the same as above), but it had to go in the OnBeginRequest method in the CasAuthenticationModule if (Request.AppRelativeCurrentExecutionFilePath == "~/") HttpContext.Current.RewritePath("default.aspx"); ...
Google's new recaptcha not validating
asp.net-mvc,validation,forms-authentication,form-submit,recaptcha
I was having this issue and re-read the documentation, and worked it out as the following: function onBegin() { $("input[type='hidden']").val(grecaptcha.getResponse()); } You have to add a javascript function to the "onBegin" parameter of the AjaxOptions object from the MVC html helper - that will copy the value of the widget's...

Asp.net share forms authentication by two applications in the same domain
asp.net,authentication,cookies,subdomain,forms-authentication
As suggested by the OP, here is the answer that works in that case. They've changed the cookie encryption between 4 and 4.5. You can either make both running under the same .net or turn on the compatibility on the 4.5 site by adding an attribute to your machine key...

Persisting .aspxauth membership cookie
asp.net,cookies,forms-authentication,.aspxauth
It seems a bit ridiculous that ASP.NET can't decrypt a cookie that it encrypted itself, but this is indeed what happens. To encrypt the cookie, ASP.NET uses the MachineKey setting in web.config or machine.config. Unfortunately the default setting for this "AutoGenerate,IsolateApps", in which case ASP.NET generates a new value every...
Trouble retaining CustomPrincipal type in HttpContext
asp.net-mvc,authentication,forms-authentication
You need to create your CustomPrincipal from the cookie in each request and add it to the current context. Add the following to the Global.asax.cs file protected void Application_PostAuthenticateRequest(object sender, EventArgs e) { // Get the authentication cookie HttpCookie authCookie = Request.Cookies[FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName]; // If the cookie can't be found, don't...
Access Login Control from Different Page
c#,asp.net,webforms,forms-authentication
Problem solved... What I ended up doing was to let the login control authorize a user with the lowest level rights. When a user attempts to access a page that requires higher rights, I'm first checking if if (User.Identity.IsAuthenticated == true) If true, then I run a new query that...
Different result while reading the FormsAuthenticationTicket
asp.net-mvc,forms-authentication,formsauthentication,formsauthenticationticket
If you look at the MSDN for the GetAuthCookie() method that you use in example 2, you will see that it says: Creates an authentication cookie for a given user name. What this means is that when you make this call in example 2, you are actually getting back a...
Custom sign in not working
asp.net-mvc,razor,forms-authentication
The problem is that you used (I guess) VS2013 MVC5 WebApplication template, which leverages on Identity 2.0 for authentication, authorization and identity management. In web.config there is this section: <system.webServer> <modules> <remove name="FormsAuthentication" /> </modules> </system.webServer> That's the reason why Forms Authentication does not process your HTTP requests. If you...
AuthorizeAttribute keeps redirecting to /Account/Login
c#,asp.net,asp.net-mvc,forms-authentication,authorize-attribute
You're setting your cookie using FormsAuthentication. If you're using MVC5, they removed that type of authentication with the [Authorize] attribute. Look for this in your web.config. Remove that line if you want to use FormsAuthentication. <system.webServer> <modules> <remove name="FormsAuthentication" /> </modules> </system.webServer> You may want to read this about why...

Login session never expires
c#,asp.net,cookies,forms-authentication
Your authentication expiration is changing because of sliding expiration, meaning that on each request the expiration is reset to to x minutes in the future. This is the default behavior for FormsAuthentication. Authentication will only expire after x minutes of inactivity, each time you are invoking a request to check...
Bridging forms authentication and OAUTH

Web Service Call for ADFS 2.0 Authentication
asp.net,asp.net-mvc,wcf,forms-authentication,adfs2.0
Most likely the problem is in: string url = "{url of website}";. And/or missing parameters in the POST. It shouldn't be just any URL. It should be a properly formatted WS-Federation request. With timestamps etc. etc. And normally/sometimes (in current ADFS) it is a two step process. First the normal...
IE silently dropping cookies on iframe page (SSL)?

This was indeed the work of P3P. Superb IE troll-level.

Suppress NTLM Authentication Dialog
c#,asp.net,forms-authentication,windows-integrated-auth
I suspect the unwanted popup stems from the initial request NOT containing an Authorization header until the 401 is received by the browser. Instead, you need to choose to avoid issuing the 401 if you predict forms authorization is required. Consider this approach: Enable Forms authentication as the default mode...

OWIN Self-Host CookieAuthentication & Legacy .NET 4.0 Application / FormsAuthenticationTicket
asp.net,asp.net-web-api,forms-authentication,owin,formsauthenticationticket
There was some initial confusion on whether I could use the <machineKey> element within app.config. Further prototyping has shown that I can successfully share a single FormsAuthenticationTicket between both bounded contexts with the following code. Ideally, we will implement a proper authorization server to enable OpenID Connect, Forms, WS-Fed, etc...
Username + [space] causes login.aspx redirect but Identity.IsAuthenticated is TRUE
c#,asp.net,active-directory,forms-authentication
This is not a solution to the problem you are asking about, but may still solve it for you and should be done anyhow IMO: Why don't you apply a Trim to the username before processing it? username = username.Trim(); This should remove any white space at the beginning and...
What are possibilities that timeout is ignored when using forms authentication?
asp.net,asp.net-mvc,forms-authentication
Session state is not tied to your logged in state. You can be logged in, but have multiple sessions be created and abandoned, all without logging out. This is a plausible sequence of events: Session Starts User Logs in Session times out Session Starts Session times out Session Starts User...
Using ASP.Net Identity 2 cookie in forms authentication
asp.net,forms-authentication,asp.net-identity,owin
The cookie contains authentication ticket. The format of this ticket is different for cookie authentication middleware vs forms authentication. It is not possible to make FAM read the cookie created by the cookie authentication middleware. That said, you can write your own HTTP module, similar to FAM to read the...

CurrentPrincipal.Identity.IsAuthenticated is true even after signout when FormsAuth cookie domain set manually
asp.net-mvc,forms-authentication
Solved the issue. If you set the domain name manually, you have to set the domain name from the webconfig forms authentication settings. Otherwise it will try to clear cookies from the default domain (in my case subapp1.parent.com), where there is no such cookie since I have manually overridden the...

asp.net get user information from xmlhttp requests
asp.net,ajax,forms-authentication
HttpContext.Current.User returns an object of type IPrincipal, and IPrincipal.Identity returns an object of type IIdentity. HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name gives you the username HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated gives you the authentication status (boolean) Armed with that, you can look up other details in the database, possibly storing them in the Session....
ASP.net MVC FormsAuthentication cookie missing

Rowan suggested I look at the value for FormsAuthentication.Timeout.Minutes. After investigation, this value always came back as 0. This led to an immediate expiration of the ticket. I had to use FormsAuthentication.Timeout.TotalMinutes instead and everything started working properly

When you say you're using MVC5, what version of Visual Studio are you using? Are you using an application that was originally created by a default wizard?

Custom MVC Authentication without SetAuthCookie()
c#,asp.net-mvc,cookies,asp.net-mvc-5,forms-authentication
You basically need to look at creating a Custom Authentication Attribute. I'm not going to provide the actual implementation here, but this will put you on the right path. Here's the basic representation :- public class GoogleAuthAttribute : FilterAttribute, IAuthenticationFilter { public void OnAuthentication(AuthenticationContext filterContext) { IIdentity ident = filterContext.Principal.Identity;...
Getting the # route in from the Request in a controller in ASP.Net MVC
c#,asp.net,asp.net-mvc,asp.net-mvc-4,forms-authentication
The "#" is called a fragment, and is considered "client dependent". In other words, it's for the client and does not get sent back to the server. So, the server doesn't know what the fragment might be to redirect to. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fragment_identifier From the Wikipedia article: Fragments depend on the...

IIS forms authentication cross domain not redirecting to correct domain

There are Claims that serve exactly the same purpose. Only new API is actually purposed this way.

But you don't need to do ICustomPrincipal because actual object that you get behind IPrincipal is ClaimsPrincipal...
