Hello all, I plan to use this thread for me to ask questions and discuss the new v4 Membership Providers & the ASP.NET Login controls for Umbraco v4. I am currently playing with the <asp:login> control which I can get to work without a problem. But the next step for me is to get this working with the umbraco "Public Access" function. The Public Access section asks for a Member Group that you wish to allow access. So my question is when using the Membership provider, how do I assign my memberType to part of the memberGroup that will have access to this page?

Hi Warren, I expect I am missing the point. On the site I am working on you have to assign the Member Group to a member, and not to a Member Type. So whenever you create a new Member, you assign the group(s) to the Member. It would be nice if there was a way to assign groups to a Member Type though! Was that functionality available in v3? I am using the Umbraco Backend Membership functionality - not the .NET User Wizard.

So here are the steps which I have followed: 1) Create a member group in the Membership section of Umbraco (e.g. "RegisteredMember") 2) Create a member type in the Membership section of Umbraco (e.g. "MyMemberType") 3) Edit web.config so that the defaultMemberTypeAlias="MyMemberType" 4) In the content section, right click on a node and set "Public Access" to allow the "RegisteredMember" group 5) Create a member in the Membership section, of type "MyMemberType" 6) Create the password 7) Assign the new member to the "RegisteredMember" group You should now have a member who can login to the site. For the benefit of other readers of this thread:- See also http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Umbraco/Samples_and_Articles/Protecting_Documents and http://hartvig.com/screencasts/members.htmThe next problem is, if you allow members to register themselves (e.g. like on a Forum) - how do they automatically get assigned the "RegisteredMember" group ...?

I have the answer to that Adam! Paul Sterling come to the rescue with that Quote:umbraco/member group = membership/role - I use :: Roles.AddUserToRole(username, "rolename") VB code version Code:
Protected Sub CreateUserWizard1_CreatedUser(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Roles.AddUserToRole(CreateUserWizard1.UserName, "RegisteredMember")
End Sub
I have yet to test this but it should work without a problem. Warren

Shouldn't be too hard using an action handler, which is firing during a save action. Haven't really done that in v4, but don't think it has changed since v3x Hope that helps. /Dirk

Question: Is v4 beta 1 enough stable for production? If no, How Can I use ASP.NET membership model or standard Umbraco membership model into 3.0.5? How Can I use Umbraco membership model for a community site or ecommerce site ( register,login,update login information,private zone, ecc ) via .NET code or XSLT?  Many Thanks...

Hi Ig_p118 yes I know this more of an ASP.NET question however it will be a common question for people wanting to use the ASP.NET deafult membership controls. I checked the code the other day and of course it worked fine without any problems, when I get some time again I will continue my research with these controls. //Warren

I have tried to use in XSLT the GetCurrentMember() XSLT extension method and it is not working, please anyone who is doing similar membership work in V4 please vote this item on CodePlex http://www.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?ProjectName=umbraco&WorkItemId=17169Thanks, Warren

Continuing my little adventure with this... I am creating a .NET usercontrol that logs out the user Code:protected void logOutLink_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
FormsAuthentication.SignOut();
FormsAuthentication.RedirectToLoginPage();
}
Additionally I had to change the web config for the login URL in my website Code:<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms name="yourAuthCookie" loginUrl="/login.aspx" protection="All" path="/" />
</authentication>
The logout code works fine to an extent it redirects to http://localhost/login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fdefault.aspx%3fumbPage%3d%2fmembers.aspx%26 Where it automatically adds the ReturnUrl querystring in doing so I get the default 404 error. Quote:
No umbraco document matches the url 'http://localhost/default.aspx?umbPage=l=/default.aspx?umbPage=/members.aspx&&'
umbraco tried this to match it using this xpath query'/root/node/node [@urlName = "l="]/node [@urlName = "default?umbpage="]/node [@urlName = "members&"]')
As soon as i remove the ReturnUrl querystring it works perfectly. So does anyone know how I could use the default .NET way of doing this. Before you all mention I know i could do a simple redirect to the page in the code - but surely it is best to use standards? If its a real b**ch to do the RedirectToLoginPage with Umbraco then i'll use a simple redirect. //Warren

Warren - Check out this thread (same issue). Unfortunately, the default RedirectToLoginPage() method does not play nicely with Umbraco membership and Url Rewriting. I haven't looked, but if it's not already there I'll log this for v4 at CodePlex. -Paul

Just updating back here for reference. Here's the CodePlex issue for v4. http://www.codeplex.com/umbraco/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=17252-Paul

On our websites we have abondoned the standard .NET controls - instead, Paul (Symes) has developed customised controls. The primary reason for this is that the standard .NET controls have to be placed in side a <form runat="server"> tag. If you have other .NET controls elsewhere on the page this can be difficult to manage. I also identified another membership bug in V4 - the "HasAccess" function does not work. This means that, for example, XSLTSearch is not able to search sites which use Membership. Nor will any other XSLT macro or .NET control which makes use of the function. We have patched this internally and supplied the patch to the core Umbraco team, again see codeplex for details: http://www.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?ProjectName=umbraco&WorkItemId=17169

@Adz I am pretty sure I got HasAccess() to return true the other day, but I will check a bit later today just to make sure. Also Im not sure I fully understand the <form runat="server"> problem? //Warren

@Paul I am not sure if this is a related problem to the logout code. When visiting a protected page, my login page with the login control loads. I login and get redirected to the protected page fine however I would like to try and avoid the umbPage querystring URL. So http://localhost/default.aspx?umbPage=/members.aspx&would become http://localhost/members.aspxIs this possible to do? //Warren

I had to debug and fix the HasAccess function - and submitted the solution to CodePlex. Basically it was using the old Membership code, not the new .NET setup - and was looking for session/cookie information which no longer exists. I have a patched version running now which solves the problem. I think we both have experienced the runat=server issue now! .NET only allows you to have one server-side form on the page. So, if you use the .NET Login control, then the XSLTSearch (standard HTML form) then try to put another .NET control on the page - you get an error.

I think this is possible. Without actually diving into the code I assume we'd need to specify the redirectTo Url in an umbraco friendly format and let Url Rewriting take care of loading the correct page. So, something like this: Code:...if authentication is successful...
......set authentication ticket explicitly (as opposed to calling RedirectFromLoginPage()...
......get [i]redirectTo[/i] Url from query string (?ReturnUrl=member.aspx)...
......do the redirect specifying the umbraco Url (http://<yoursite>/member.aspx)... Is this too obvious? Maybe I'm not grasping the issue, but based on my understanding this is one approach. -Paul

Hiya Paul, thanks for the reply. I was hoping to solve this without going into the codeBehind for the Login control (as I want to keep the controls as simple as possible). I'm not sure I fully understand what you mean, if you don't mind dropping me an email on this rather than discussing the problem on here. Oncel solved I will post the solution here. Thanks, Warren

I've had a play with the login/logout securing pages etc and all works well! - Has anyone created a editprofile usercontrol?? I know there was one for the member controls for 3.0.5 but I believe this needs to modified some for use with the new provider....or am I wrong??
