Hi all,

I am developing a project in asp.net.
After the user login i want to provide authorization .

The resources/access rights are stored in sql server which maps to group/user .please suggest how do i proceed..

Authorization is required at the menus and also it must able protect the user from directly opening the pages by typing in the url.

Thxs in advance

Create session variables each for every right (like bit 1 for authorized and 0 for not). After login check for those in database and according to that set the session variables.

Check for those variables while loading menu, if true then show link and otherwise.

At !PostBack, check if session variables have values or not and at not, redirect to Home Page.

note: create all variables in one .cs page and render that whole page as Session (eg. SessionVariables sp = new SessionVariables(); sp = session["SessionVariables"]; where session["SessionVariables"] is created in previous page like session["SessionVariables"] = sp;)

Hope this helps!!!

Instead using .NET server control for menu, use JavaScript for menu creation. It will ease checking an also provide better design with explicit css than in-built tamplets.

You can do it just simple way . Create a Default page that will display the Unauthorized User message. When you click on the link to open the page that time just simple check the roll of user, if the roles permit to access that page , navigate to that page other wise redirect to unauthorized access page. On unauthorized access page give a link to user back to the home page.

<code>OnAdminLinkClicked()
  {
    if(Session["CurrentUserRole"].equals("Admin"))
       {
         Response.redirect("Admin.aspx");
        }
      else
         {
           Response.Redirect("Unauthorized.aspx)
          }
  }</code>

Note: Given code is just a dummy example, not compiled and checked !!!

thx for the reply

Well there may be more than 100+ users and more than 100+ access right and which are defined at the group level and some special at personal level..

Is it going to be optimistic solution for my problem..

Any custom methods which can be used across all the pages on the website.

Also please give a solution for menu security w/o using role based security provided by asp.net

No, there isn't, not short of sending an email and seeing if it bounces, but that's not 100%, and it's user intrusive.

There is no 100% guranteed way but you can check mx records. Try the following code it may give an idea.

public class MailValidator
{
private bool mResult = false;
public bool Result
{
get { return mResult; }
set { mResult = value; }
}
private string mError = "";
public string Error
{
get { return mError; }
set { mError = value; }
}
private string mMailAddress = "";
public string MailAddress
{
get { return mMailAddress; }
set { mMailAddress = value; }
}
public MailValidator(string mailAddress)
{
mMailAddress = mailAddress;
}
public bool MailExists()
{
string domainName = mMailAddress.Substring(mMailAddress.IndexOf("@") + 1);
foreach (string str in Mx.GetMXRecords(domainName))
{
TcpClient insTcpClient=null;
try
{
//MessageBox.Show(str);
insTcpClient = new TcpClient(str, 25);
NetworkStream ns = insTcpClient.GetStream();

byte[] recievedMessage = new byte[insTcpClient.ReceiveBufferSize];
ns.Read(recievedMessage, 0, insTcpClient.ReceiveBufferSize);
//MessageBox.Show(Encoding.ASCII.GetString(recievedMessage));

string messageToSend = "HELO\r\n";
byte[] buffer = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding(1254).GetBytes(messageToSend);
ns.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);

recievedMessage = new byte[insTcpClient.ReceiveBufferSize];
ns.Read(recievedMessage, 0, insTcpClient.ReceiveBufferSize);
//MessageBox.Show(Encoding.ASCII.GetString(recievedMessage));

messageToSend = "MAIL FROM:<deneme@" + domainName + ">\r\n";
buffer = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding(1254).GetBytes(messageToSend);
ns.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);

recievedMessage = new byte[insTcpClient.ReceiveBufferSize];

//MessageBox.Show(Encoding.ASCII.GetString(recievedMessage));

messageToSend = "RCPT TO:<" + mMailAddress + ">\r\n";
buffer = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding(1254).GetBytes(messageToSend);

recievedMessage = new byte[insTcpClient.ReceiveBufferSize];
ns.Read(recievedMessage, 0, insTcpClient.ReceiveBufferSize);

Webservice to validate Email address

Check this site out ...

http://www.webservicex.net/WCF/ServiceDetails.aspx?SID=22[^]

I played around with it and it seemed to work very well. I don't know how they validate the email address, but it seems to work.

I've also played around with their stock-quote webservice, which works very nicely.

Give it a shot.

Hi all!
I am creating a grid view control containing data and column coming from two different sources .

1)first two columns in grid control coming from 1 source with all the data like field_name1 and field_name2.

2) second having the 1 column(Table Field) in the table which is display as columns header text in the grid view control combin with the above grid view.

Now the problem.
All the time the 2) is appear first i want to show him in 2nd priority.
1) shoud be display first.

below is the code for that

<br />
if (chkHealthPlanDP.Checked)<br />
        {<br />
            //grdByHealthPlanDP.Visible = true;            <br />
            System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridView DiseaseGrid = new GridView();<br />
            <br />
            DiseaseGrid.DataSource = REPORT_METRIC_ENTITYMIX.GetData(2); //data coming from source one <br />
            DiseaseGrid.DataBind();    <br />
            DiseaseGrid.Width = 100;<br />
            DiseaseGrid.Height = 50;<br />
            DiseaseGrid.GridLines = GridLines.Both;<br />
            DiseaseGrid.CellPadding = 0;<br />
            DiseaseGrid.HeaderStyle.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Pink;            <br />
                        <br />
            foreach (Master_ref_disease masterDisease in Master_reference_disease.result() //source 2)<br />
            {<br />
                BoundField c = new BoundField();<br />
                c.HeaderText = masterDisease.D_ID;<br />
                //c.DataField = masterDisease.D_ID;                <br />
                DiseaseGrid.Columns.Add(c);                <br />
            }<br />
            PlaceHolder1.Controls.Add(DiseaseGrid);<br />
           DiseaseGrid.DataBind();              <br />
        }<br />

I have created a web application. It is running fine if i gives http://localhost/web1/default.aspx; but if i check through http://192.168.0.12/web1/default.aspx; it is returning me error
You are not authorized to view this page
HTTP 401.3 - Access denied by ACL on resource.

192.168.0.12 is the IP address of my web server.

why you use this?If you want ot remove the locaklhost then you have to give the IP instead of locahost.
