I need to block a user permanently. I don't understand why this code is not working.
This line UserManager.IsLockedOut(user.Id);
always returns false
instead of true
.
Maybe it's necessary to put this line UserManager.UserLockoutEnabledByDefault = true;
in user registration stage?
using (var _db = new ApplicationDbContext())
{
UserStore<DALApplicationUser> UserStore = new UserStore<DALApplicationUser>(_db);
UserManager<DALApplicationUser> UserManager = new UserManager<DALApplicationUser>(UserStore);
UserManager.UserLockoutEnabledByDefault = true;
DALApplicationUser user = _userService.GetUserByProfileId(id);
bool a = UserManager.IsLockedOut(user.Id);
UserManager.SetLockoutEnabled(user.Id, true);
a = UserManager.IsLockedOut(user.Id);
_db.SaveChanges();
}
The line
UserManager.SetLockoutEnabled(user.Id, true);
is not locking or unlocking the account. This method is used to permanently enable or disable the locking out process for the given user account. As it stands, you are making a call that is basically setting this user account up to be bound by the rules of account locking. Making a call with the second parameter as false
ie:
UserManager.SetLockoutEnabled(user.Id, false);
would allow you to setup a user account that is exempt from the rules of locking - this may be useful for an admin account.
Here is the code for UserManager.IsLockedOutAsync
:
/// <summary>
/// Returns true if the user is locked out
/// </summary>
/// <param name="userId"></param>
/// <returns></returns>
public virtual async Task<bool> IsLockedOutAsync(TKey userId)
{
ThrowIfDisposed();
var store = GetUserLockoutStore();
var user = await FindByIdAsync(userId).WithCurrentCulture();
if (user == null)
{
throw new InvalidOperationException(String.Format(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, Resources.UserIdNotFound,
userId));
}
if (!await store.GetLockoutEnabledAsync(user).WithCurrentCulture())
{
return false;
}
var lockoutTime = await store.GetLockoutEndDateAsync(user).WithCurrentCulture();
return lockoutTime >= DateTimeOffset.UtcNow;
}
As you can see, for a user to be classed as locked out, the lockout must be enabled as above and the user must have a LockoutEndDateUtc
value that is greater than or equal to the current date.
So, to "permanently" lock an account, you could do the following:
using (var _db = new ApplicationDbContext())
{
UserStore<DALApplicationUser> UserStore = new UserStore<DALApplicationUser>(_db);
UserManager<DALApplicationUser> UserManager = new UserManager<DALApplicationUser>(UserStore);
UserManager.UserLockoutEnabledByDefault = true;
DALApplicationUser user = _userService.GetUserByProfileId(id);
bool a = UserManager.IsLockedOut(user.Id);
//user.LockoutEndDateUtc = DateTime.MaxValue; //.NET 4.5+
user.LockoutEndDateUtc = new DateTime(9999, 12, 30);
_db.SaveChanges();
a = UserManager.IsLockedOut(user.Id);
}
The function SetLockoutEnabled
doesn't lockout the user, it enables the lockout feature for the user
you need
UserManager.DefaultAccountLockoutTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromHours(1); // lockout for 1 hour
UserManager.MaxFailedAccessAttemptsBeforeLockout = 5; // max fail attemps
await UserManager.AccessFailedAsync(user.Id); // Register failed access
It will record a failure, and lockout the user if Lockout is enabled and failure count is reached.
Set the shouldLockout value to true in your Login action (it's false by default)
// To enable password failures to trigger account lockout, change to shouldLockout: true
var result = await SignInManager.PasswordSignInAsync(vm.Email, vm.Password, vm.RememberMe, shouldLockout: true);
