Using Login Controls to Access a Web Application

Rating:

  1. Login Control:


  2. LoginView Control:


  3. LoginStatus Control:


  4. PasswordRecovery Control:

Using ASP.NET Membership



In a Web application, an ASP.NET membership can be configured by using the <membership> element in the Web.config file for the application. The <membership> element is a sub-element of the <system.web> section of the ASP .NET configuration settings. The element is used to configure several parameters to manage and authenticate user accounts by using membership.

The ASP.NET membership can be enabled either by editing the Web.config file directly for an application or by using the Web Site Administration Tool that provides a wizard-based interface to a user. The membership is configured that specifies which membership provider is to be used. It also specifies password options such as encryption and supports password recovery based on a user-specific question. Users can be created and managed directly by using the Web Site Administration Tool. On the other hand, users can be created and managed programmatically by calling the ASP.NET membership functions.

ASP.NET Role Management



In an ASP.NET application, the feature of role management is disabled in order to improve the security of the applications that do not use role manager. When this feature is enabled, ASP.NET sets its default configuration settings to make it more secure. ASP.NET provides the <roleManager> element in an application's Web.config file. This element is a sub-element of the <system.web> section of the ASP .NET configuration settings. The element is used to configure an application for the role management feature.
