I am using SimpleMembership with WebMatrix. Since its an Intranet webapp, I am using the exisitng domain users in combination with custom roles and storing them in local webpages_ tables. I am trying to develop classes to manage the users & roles. Perhaps I am going about this the wrong way, but here is what I have and below where I am stuck.
Setting this in global.asa
WebSecurity.InitializeDatabaseConnection("SqlRoleManagerConnection", "webpages_Users", "UserID", "Username", false);
Setting this in web.config (other sources said to add roleManager=true section but it currently works without it)
<!--<roleManager enabled="true" defaultProvider="SqlRoleManager">
<providers>
<clear />
<add name="SqlRoleManager" type="System.Web.Security.SqlRoleProvider" connectionStringName="SqlRoleManagerConnection" applicationName="YourAppName" />
</providers>
</roleManager>-->
<httpRuntime targetFramework="4.5" />
<authentication mode="Windows" />
<authorization>
<allow roles="Managers" />
<allow users="?" />
</authorization>
Data Access class (used by controllers)
public class Membership
{
private OFACDB _db = new OFACDB();
public string UserID { get; set; }
public string UserName { get; set; }
public string RoleName { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public const string Domain = "LAN\\";
public void Delete()
{
Roles.RemoveUserFromRole(this.UserName, this.RoleName);
}
public void AddMemberToRole()
{
if (!Roles.IsUserInRole(Membership.Domain + this.UserName, this.RoleName))
Roles.AddUserToRole(Membership.Domain + this.UserName, this.RoleName);
}
public void AddMember()
{
webpages_Users member = new webpages_Users();
member.Username = Membership.Domain + this.UserName;
_db.webpages_Users.Add(member);
_db.SaveChanges();
}
public void DelMember(string id)
{
webpages_Users member = _db.webpages_Users.Find(id);
_db.webpages_Users.Remove(member);
_db.SaveChanges();
}
}
public class MembershipViewModel : List<Membership>
{
private OFACDB _db = new OFACDB();
//public List<webpages_Users> UserView { get; set; }
public IQueryable<webpages_Users> GetAllRecords()
{
var view = _db.webpages_Users
.OrderBy(v => v.Username);
return view;
}
public void GetAllRoleUsers(string role) //Get application's users
{
if (Roles.RoleExists(role))
{
foreach (var item in Roles.GetUsersInRole(role))
{
var user = new Membership();
user.UserName = item;
user.Name = item;
user.RoleName = role;
this.Add(user);
}
}
}
public void GetNetworkUsers() //Get Network Users (AD)
{
var domainContext = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain);
var groupPrincipal = GroupPrincipal.FindByIdentity(domainContext, IdentityType.SamAccountName, "Domain Users");
foreach (var item in groupPrincipal.Members)
{
var user = new Membership();
user.UserName = item.SamAccountName;
user.Name = item.Name;
this.Add(user);
}
}
}
And controller controls access by roles
[Authorize(Roles = "Admins")]
public ActionResult Index()
{
var users = new MembershipViewModel();
users.GetAllRoleUsers("Managers");
return View(users);
}
ADVICE? I use Roles.GetUsersInRole to list out users in a role, but I can't delete them very easily as this call does not return UserIDs and if I use the username to find/delete record, then it is escaped in the URL because the usernames contain the domain\ characters.
/Account/Delete/LAN%5CLAN%5Ctest
Looking for advice on perhaps taking a different approach to these classes if anyone else has done this before. Do i need to use a Membership Provider and Role Provider?
