CreateUserWizardControl

Posted by Community Admin on 10-Aug-2010 00:00

I'm trying to implement the CreateUserWizard Control I downloaded from here: http://www.sitefinity.com/devnet/forums/sitefinity-3-x/developing-with-sitefinity/createwizarduser-explains.aspx

It seems that some assembly names have changed or are missing.

Telerik.Security is now Telerik.Sitefinity.Security;

but where are the methods AddUserToRole and SetProfileProperties for UserManager?

Hi Kristian,

AddUserToRole is a methodof Telerik.Security.UserManager class.SetProfileProperties is a method of Telerik.Security.WebControls.ManageProfile class.

When trying to use Telerik.Security; I get

The type or namespace name 'Security' does not exist in the namespace 'Telerik' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

but Telerik.Sitefinity.Security works, but those methods aren't there, is this not yet included in 4.0?

Hi Kristian,

These are methods for Sitefinity 3.x edition. The API for Sitefinity 4.0 is different. In 4.0 you can use Telerik.Sitefinity.Security.RoleManager and its AddUserToRole method.

var provider = "RolePRovider";

var manager = Telerik.Sitefinity.Security.RoleManager.GetManager(provider);

manager.AddUserToRole(param1, param2);

Thanks, but now I receive this error

The type SByte does not have an accessible constructor.*

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.InvalidOperationException: The type SByte* does not have an accessible constructor.

Source Error:


            Line 36:     
Line 37:         var provider = "RoleProvider";
Line 38:         var manager = RoleManager.GetManager(provider);

Here is my code, also in the 3.x API to set the user name under profile properties you used

this.ManageProfile.SetProfileProperties(CreateUserWizard1.UserName);

I think the new method is this.Profile.SetPropertyValue but i am not sure what the propertyName would be?

void CreateUserWizard1_CreatedUser(object sender, EventArgs e)

var provider = "RoleProvider";

var manager = RoleManager.GetManager(provider);

User user = new User();

user.SetUserName(CreateUserWizard1.UserName);

Role role = new Role();

if (defaultRoles != null)

foreach (string roleProfile in defaultRoles)

role.Name = roleProfile;

manager.AddUserToRole(user, role);

//this.Profile.SetPropertyValue("UserName", user.UserName);

Hi Kristian,

By default there are two providers - "Default" and "AppRoles". There is a third provider for LDAP. In your code you are passing "RoleProvider" to GetManager().

Ah thank you! that helps

what about the profile properties such as username?

Posted by Community Admin on 11-Aug-2010 00:00

Hi Kristian,

You can use Telerik.Sitefinity.Security.UserManager - Represents an intermediary between users and membership data providers. and Telerik.Sitefinity.Security.Model.User class - The persistent membership user class used by OpenAccess membership provider.

// getting user

var manager = Telerik.Sitefinity.Security.UserManager.GetManager();

var user = manager.GetUsers().Where(u => u.FirstName == "foo");

// creating user, setting properties

System.Web.Security.MembershipCreateStatus status;

var newUser = manager.CreateUser("username","pword", "email", "val", "val", true, null, out status);

if (status == System.Web.Security.MembershipCreateStatus.Success)

newUser.FirstName = "val";

newUser.LastName = "val";

manager.SaveChanges();

I'm not sure what Im doing wrong here, but I try that code and no user is created in the back end.

Hello Kristian,

Try using the default provider for UserManager. Verify that the status is "Success" otherwise the user will not be created. Note that the password must have special char in it

System.Web.Security.MembershipCreateStatus status;

var manager = UserManager.GetManager("Default");

var newUser = manager.CreateUser("username", "username@username", "email@test.com", "val", "val", true, null, out status);

if (status == System.Web.Security.MembershipCreateStatus.Success)

newUser.FirstName = "val";

newUser.LastName = "val";

manager.SaveChanges();

Ah thank you, it was the special character in the password that was throwing me.

I have one more question, what do i need to do to retrieve an existing role and then add the user to the role.

I tried using roleManager.GetRole("GUID#") and received

Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: role

EDIT:

nevermind, was using the wrong name

when trying to use the wizard when not logged in, would there be some setting in the web.config to allow this?

You are not authorized to 'Manage Users' ('Backend').

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: You are not authorized to 'Manage Users' ('Backend').

ASP.NET is not authorized to access the requested resource. Consider granting access rights to the resource to the ASP.NET request identity. ASP.NET has a base process identity (typically MACHINE\ASPNET on IIS 5 or Network Service on IIS 6) that is used if the application is not impersonating. If the application is impersonating via <identity impersonate="true"/>, the identity will be the anonymous user (typically IUSR_MACHINENAME) or the authenticated request user.

To grant ASP.NET access to a file, right-click the file in Explorer, choose "Properties" and select the Security tab. Click "Add" to add the appropriate user or group. Highlight the ASP.NET account, and check the boxes for the desired access.

Hello Kristian,

By default anonymous users are not allowed to manage users. When you are not logged in, you are an anonymous user. You can grant needed rights for a given role from Settings >> Permissions section of Sitefinity's backend.
