How to use asp.net login control

Posted by Community Admin on 18-Jan-2011 00:00

Hey all,

I was able to successfully programmatically create a user by using the 'CreateUserWizard' and was able to assign the new user to a specific role. I am now trying to figure out how to use a asp.net login control with Sitefinity 4.

<asp:Login ID="Login" OnLoginError="Login_LoginError" OnLoggingIn="Login_LoggingIn" OnAuthenticate="Login_Authenticate" DestinationPageUrl="/" runat="server">

<LayoutTemplate>

<table style="margin-top:0px;">

<tr>

<td align="right" style="padding-right:10px;">User Name:</td>

<td>

<asp:TextBox ID="UserName" MaxLength="256" Width="185" runat="server" />

<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="UserNameRequiredFieldValidator" ControlToValidate="UserName" Display="Dynamic" Text="* Required" runat="server" />

</td>

<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="UserNameRequired" ControlToValidate="UserName" ValidationGroup="Login" runat="server" />

</tr>

<tr>

<td align="right" style="padding-right:10px;">Password:</td>

<td>

<asp:TextBox ID="Password" MaxLength="128" Width="185" TextMode="Password" runat="server" />

<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="PasswordRequiredFieldValidator" ControlToValidate="Password" Display="Dynamic" Text="* Required" runat="server" />

</td>

<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="PasswordRequired" ControlToValidate="Password" ValidationGroup="Login" runat="server" />

</tr>

<tr>

<td> </td>

<td colspan="2">Not a member? <a href="/Register">Register here</a>.</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td> </td>

<td>Forgot your password? <a href="/Password-Recovery">Click here</a>.</td>

</tr>

</table>

<table class="loginPng">

<tr>

<td width="60"> </td>

<td colspan="2" align="center"><asp:ImageButton ID="Submit" CommandName="Login" ImageUrl="/CustomTemplates/MyTemplate/App_Themes/Main/Images/Login_btn.png" runat="server" /></td>

</tr>

</table>

</LayoutTemplate>

</asp:Login>

I've provided the following delegates.

protected void Login_LoginError(object sender, EventArgs e)

protected void Login_LoggingIn(object sender, LoginCancelEventArgs e)

protected void Login_Authenticate(object sender, AuthenticateEventArgs e)

1. Do I need to provide an OnLoggingIn and OnAuthenticate delegate methods like I have previously done?
a. If I need to provide one or both of these methods, what are the steps needed to authenticate a user?
2. Is the login control automatically communicate with sitefinity's data store to authenticate users or does one need to implement custom logic?
3. Do I need to add anything to the web.config to get authentication with asp login control to work with Sitefinity?

Thanks,

Hi Doug,

Basically, you needn't use it. Sitefinity defines a public LoginControl that you can drag and drop from the widget toolbar in page editor.

To authenticate, you need something like

User sfUser;

var result = SecurityManager.AuthenticateUser(this.MembershipProvider, this.UserName, this.Password, this.RememberMeSet, out sfUser);

bool authenticated = result == UserLoggingReason.Success;

We sent several replies to the other request you had with the same topic, so you can check them for reference.

All the best,

I was trying to do this in a custom master I created. What is the sitefinity login control I should use in the mark up of my master page?

Is it something like this: <sf:Login ..... />? Basically, with my custom master page, I want to declare the control instead of dropping on to a page that inherits from my master page.

Hello Doug,

You have to register a tag prefix for Telerik.Sitefinity.Web.UI.PublicControls namespace, Assembly- Telerik.Sitefinity
