Invoking Sitefinity authentication

Posted by Community Admin on 15-Apr-2011 00:00

Hello,
I've written my custom role provider, now I need to integrate SF with another website I've... this website has its own membership provider (ASP.NET) and I wish to have a link in my application that performs the SF authentication in a silent way..... consider it a passthrought... how can I achieve this?

Thanks
Paolo

Hi Paolo,

You should have some service that makes a call and authenticate the user.

Hello Paolo,

You can use /Sitefinity/Services/Security/Users.svc/ and make HttpWebRequest. The method you should pass to the service is called "Authenticate"
I will try to prepare a sample an post in on Monday.

Hello Ivan,
I've succeded in authenticating using this :

if (!IsPostBack)

Telerik.Sitefinity.Security.Web.Services.Users userService = new Telerik.Sitefinity.Security.Web.Services.Users();

Telerik.Sitefinity.Security.Credentials credentials = null;

string userName = string.Empty;

string password = string.Empty;

bool isPersistent = false;

if (Request.Params["username"] != null)

userName = Request.Params["username"];

if (Request.Params["password"] != null)

password = Request.Params["password"];

if (Request.Params["persistent"] != null)

isPersistent = Convert.ToBoolean(Request.Params["persistent"]);

if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(userName) && !string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(password))

credentials = new Telerik.Sitefinity.Security.Credentials();

credentials.UserName = userName;

credentials.Password = password;

credentials.MembershipProvider = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["membershipProvider"];

credentials.Persistent = isPersistent;

if (credentials == null)

//redirect to login page

RedirectToLoginPage();

try

UserLoggingReason reason = userService.AuthenticateUser(credentials);

if (reason == UserLoggingReason.Success)

string destPage = ResolveUrl(landingPage);

Response.Redirect(destPage, false);

else

//redirect to login page

RedirectToLoginPage();

catch (Exception ex)

Response.Write(ex.Message);

Can this be ok?
Thanks

Hi Paolo,

I would prefer using a call to the web service directly, but since this works for you it is fine.

All the best,

Ivan I use this since I redirect the users to a landing page dipending on user's role...
It's easier for me of doing so...
Thanks
