Re: Updated : Simple ASP.Net Login Page

Hey Benbujwah,

If you did do the CUT and PASTE with Visual Web Developer Express, then that is the cause of the error. This code is for .NET 1.0 or 1.1 ONLY and not .NET 2.0 (which is what Web Developer Express is based on).

I haven't provided the .NET 2.0 version simply because with all the start page, master.page, etc configurations and steps, you can do this pretty much with no code typing at all. Best to go to the tutorial section of Visual Web Developer home page and watch the training videos. Rather difficult to convert the how to video presentation to text how to.

Hope this helps.

Paladine, thanks for your help so far. As of now, my login pages load in Visual QWeb Developer Express (Only validation works, and when i login with user id and pw, the page just reloads with the pw text field blank again. I dont get an error connecting to database or anything). However, when I check it out on the server, i get a big configration error. It is something like :

Configuration Error

Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.

Parser Error Message: It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level. This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS.

Source Error:

Line 6: Line 7: <system.web>Line 8: <roleManager enabled="true" />Line 9: <authentication mode="Forms" />Line 10: <compilation defaultLanguage="vb" debug="true" />

Below is my full web.config file. (not as same as yours, but does it need to be just with the source file location changed?)


<configuration>
<appSettings>
<addkey="strnConn"value="PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;DATA SOURCE=D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\students\teamg\IUser\teamg.mdb;User ID=Admin;Password=;" />
</appSettings>
<system.web>
<roleManagerenabled="False" />
<authenticationmode="Forms" />
<compilationdefaultLanguage="vb"debug="true" />
<customErrorsmode="Off" />
<traceenabled="true"requestLimit="10"pageOutput="true"traceMode="SortByTime"localOnly="false" />
</system.web>
<connectionStrings>
<addname="myConnection"connectionString="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\students\teamg\IUser\teamg.mdb;Persist Security Info=True"

providerName="System.Data.OleDb"/>
</connectionStrings>
</configuration>



I have used your query for MS access, your same form code, and same functions in my login.aspx.vb file, (mostly cut and paste ). Im not sure what is causing this error?

Also, I would like to redirect a validaded user from my Acess Database to my menu.aspx page Any help would be appreciated .

Re: Updated : Simple ASP.Net Login Page

Yeah I had this problem too and it took me a bit to figure out that the code had a bug in it. When the code tries to verify connection to the database and it fails, it sets lblMessage.Text = "Error Connecting to Database!" Then when it returns to the previous sub it sets and of course the login fails, it changes lblMessage.Text = "Invalid Login!" on top of the bad connection error. I changed the following code to fix it. This way if it encounters the previous code it will not set it to something else.

Original Code:
' ||||| Credentials are Invalid
lblMessage.Text = "Invalid Login!"

Modified Code:
' ||||| Credentials are Invalid
If lblMessage.Text <> "Error Connecting to Database!" Then
lblMessage.Text = "Invalid Login!"
End If

Re: Updated : Simple ASP.Net Login Page

Hi,
I have a question.
As I've been reading, you have a login page, that is set as default. So, when you go to the web page, this login page is the first one to load:

http://www.testpage.com will redirect to http://www.testpage.com/login.aspx

This page, will validate username and password. If it is successful, it will redirect you to Default.aspx: http://www.testpage.com/default.aspx

My question is ... what happens if you type straight in the url:
http://www.testpage.com/default.aspx ??

How do you prevent the user to access that page?
If there is no session or variable stored somewhere indicating user is logged in ... how you do allow/prevent access to default page? what about to other pages?

thanks,

Juan

Re: Updated : Simple ASP.Net Login Page

I have written a simple login app which will answer your question. Not matter what page you access it will redirect to the login page. So you can make all pages protected.
click here to read and download the sample app.

hi hi! thanks for the reply Paladine about the table issue. The next thing i want to do is compare a username to a username in the database.
From this line: FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(txtUserName.Text, False)
If i set to say: RedirectFromLoginPage(txtUserName.Text, True)
what does that do? and how can I compare this username in another page?
What I am trying to do is:
if the username = <temp username> then
load an empty form
else if username =<member's username> Then
Load form with member's details already there

im trying to create an update details page.
no idea how to access username thats being passed from the RedirectFromLoginPage...
cheers

Re: Updated : Simple ASP.Net Login Page

Hello!

ASP.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(txtUserName.Text, False)

What does that mean?

How do I verify if the user is logged in or not yet? then redirect for log in again.....

Re: Updated : Simple ASP.Net Login Page

This is done in your code prior this statement. This is "validation" is done when you pass the username/password into the DBConnection Function:

The Answer to your very question about .. "How do I prevent direct access to the Default.aspx via URL entry..." is found in this very thread...

Quote ...
Ok, I have had a number of people ask me how to prevent access to say the default.aspx page via the direct url, and you can prevent this in a number of ways. I have mentioned the use of cookies, but in the following example I will use another method of Session variables......
