Hi, im new to sharepoint 2010. im in a situation whereby i would like to allow users that already have Active directory accounts log into sharepoint. The problem arises when i need to allow external users to log into the sharepoint site too and it will not be possible to add them into the active directory. Is there a way to resolve this problem? Appreciate all help given! Thanks! norphos

I've written a small ASP.NET 3.5 application to allow users to update selected account attributes on their own. Everything works fine when I use Basic Authentication, but because the dialog that is presented is less than ideal, I'd like to use forms authentication to give the users more instruction on how to log in. My problem is that in order for the user to update their account information, I have to have the application impersonate them for the update actions. I've scoured the internet trying to find a solution to my issue, but nothing fits or works. I have tried setting the web.config:<identity impersonate="true" /> but that doesn't seem to work. I also have the C# code using the WindowsImpersonationContext class, but still no luck. protected void titleTextBox_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) { TextBox tb = (TextBox)sender; string fieldTitle = "job title"; string fieldName = "title"; if (userDirectoryEntry == null) CaptureUserIdentity(); try { WindowsImpersonationContext impersonationContext = userWindowsIdentity.Impersonate(); if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(tb.Text)) userDirectoryEntry.Properties[fieldName].Clear();

I have a simple ASP.NET 3.5 application running under IIS7 under a virtual directory. So the URL of my app is like http://site.com/app. I want to 301-redirect the request to site.com/app/default.aspx to site.com/app for better SEO. I have to do this redirect through code only, not by any IIS settings. I am unable to do so via code mentioned in this article:http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/072810-1.aspxThe code:if (request.RawUrl.Equals("/default.aspx")) { newUrl = string.Format("{0}://{1}{2}", request.Url.Scheme, request.Url.Authority, request.RawUrl.Remove(request.RawUrl.LastIndexOf("/default.aspx", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))); context.Response.Status = "301 moved permanently"; context.Response.AddHeader("Location", newUrl); } seems to go into an infinite loop when the application is under a virtual directory. the request.RawUrl property always returns "/default.aspx" even after a 301 redirect causing the infinite loop. How can I fix this issuhttp://forums.asp.net/AddPost.aspx?ForumID=27e?

Hi, I've searched far and wide, but can't find out why this is happening. I have a clientside javascript ajax call into a web service that works fine if both the service and the calling page are in the same directory. If I try to move the web service to another virtual directory, I get this: Exception type: InvalidOperationException Exception message: Request format is unrecognized for URL unexpectedly ending in '/js'. Here are the relevant code tidbits for the separate directories attempt. Thanks for any help! aspx file:<div> <form id="form1" runat="server"> <asp:ScriptManager runat="server" ID="scriptManagerId"> <Scripts> <asp:ScriptReference Path="CallYahooQuotesServiceMethods.js" /> </Scripts> <Services> <asp:ServiceReference Path="/quotesservice/YahooQuotesService.asmx" /> <--- this works if remove /quotesservice/ and service is in same dir </Services> </asp:ScriptManager> </form> </div> <div>  <input type="button" value="Client" id="Button2" onclick="GetQuotes(ticker

Hi there,I am just getting started with MVC and I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction for help with forms authentication using active directory? I have the sample site up but the results I have found on google have not been very helpful in answering this question.This site is going to be an intranet page that we want users to be able to access without logging in when they access it from our network while they must login when trying to access it from home.Any suggestions of where to start?

Hi,      We are using MOSS 2007. I have customized a web application using Custom web part, features and ASPX pages. we have configured SQL-Form based Authentication for this site. I have also used FBA user management functionality from Codeplex. I have created some groups and my application (custom aspx page) is referencing these groups to send an email to specific person as per his role for certail events.        I have a requirement to migrate this set up on other server and change the authentication from SQL-FBA to Active Directory. So if I have to change the Authentication from SQL-FBA to AD then what are the steps I have to follow to make this happen?      I would appreciate any help on this. Thanks, Patav    

Hi All I am using the below code to fetch the user information from LDAP             DirectoryEntry entry = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://DEV");             DirectorySearcher searcher =  new DirectorySearcher(entry);             SearchResult result;             searcher.Filter = "samaccountname=testuser";             result = searcher.FindOne(); here i am using windows authentication always and along with that when i enable the impersonate = true ,  the code fails at "result = searcher.FindOne();" with message "object reference not set to instance of an object "  also with the same code if i give the username and password along with the impersonate tag >> it works  or if i am using the user and password along with the DirectoryEntry  object then also it will work  but it fails with same user that i gave in impersonate tag / directory entry object with windows authentication enabled  and the  user logged to the application and no username and password tag in directory entry / impersonate tag  Interesting thing is that  in our development server ,  i am able to execute the same code with out user name p

Hi Guys Have run into an interesting issue. We have an asp.net web application - we can deploy it over the internet, the secure intranet, local offline user laptops. On of the teams in our organization has a product by which they develop static html reports from the main database. Originally we developed a module in our app which is nothing more than an iframe. Since the html files were pushed under our application virtual directory we used to use java script to set the source of iframe to http://server/app/module/fileXXX.html   Now due to some deployment procedure changes and some security issues the html reports will be deployed on another network server and exposed through a share. Also the share will not have IIS so not virtual directory. So we can no longer set the iframe source through java script to a web file.   Is there any way i can @ runtime map a folder in my application virtual to the network share so that we can browse to these web files like before (Copying the files over from the share to my Virtual Directory is not a very elegant soln.)   Thanks Regards Siddharth

Hello All,I have set up a directory on my IIS web server that is protected by "Integrated Windows authentication".  I want visitors to be required to enter a name and password to view files in the protected directory except if they are following a link to files in the protected directory from a certain page on my website.I am doing this to try to get better protection from search engine spidering than is provided by using a robots.text file. I am using ASP.NET 3.5 with VB.  I am wondering if there is a way to pass the log on credentials to the IIS server via a link, or if there is a way to fill in the name and password for the login screen automatically, or something else that would work.  It is OK if the login name and password are visible to the visitors.Any suggestions on how to do this would be appreciated or if there is a better way to accomplish what I am trying to do, I would like to know.Thanks

We have just configured a new SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 server. So far, everything is going well, with the exception of one thing: we want anyone who hits the root of the webserver to be redirected to the /Reports virtual directory. So, if the user enters http://servername.domain.com/ it would redirect to http://servername.domain.com/reports. In SSRS 2005, it was easy to configure IIS to do this, but with SSRS 2008, I cannot figure out how to make this change. Help?
