Problem when calling the User Service to validate a user

Posted by Community Admin on 26-Apr-2011 00:00

Hello,
i'm tring to validate a user from a page calling the User Webservice but I got troubles....
here's what's happening :

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

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

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

credentials.UserName = "admin";

credentials.Password = "1234567890";

credentials.MembershipProvider = "IFProvider";

// credentials.Persistent = true;

try

UserLoggingReason resaon = users.AuthenticateUser(credentials);

catch (Exception ex)

int i = 0; //Got exception pasted below

   at Telerik.Sitefinity.Security.Model.User.get_ProviderName()
   at Telerik.Sitefinity.Security.SecurityManager.AuthenticateUser(User user, UserManager manager, Boolean persistent)
   at Telerik.Sitefinity.Security.SecurityManager.AuthenticateUser(String membershipProviderName, String userName, String password, Boolean persistent, User& user)
   at Telerik.Sitefinity.Security.SecurityManager.AuthenticateUser(Credentials credentials)
   at Telerik.Sitefinity.Security.Web.Services.Users.AuthenticateUser(Credentials credentials)
   at SitefinityWebApp.IDEAPassThrought.Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) in C:\Projects\SF_Credenziali\IDEAPassThrought.aspx.cs:line 27

I've noticed that in my implementation of IFProvider (the class that inherits from MembershipDataProvider) if I check for the Provider name I got an exception...

I've also tried using :

public IFProvider()

if (System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Session != null && System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Session["ListaUtenti"] != null)

ListaUtenti = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Session["ListaUtenti"] as List<User>;

providerDecorator = new EmptyDecorator();

providerDecorator.Initialize("IFProvider", null, typeof(IFProvider));

can you please help me?
Thanks

Hello Paolo,

You should make a web request. You can use

var wRequest = new Sys.Net.WebRequest();
