The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

C# ASP.NET Forms Authentication Isn't Work

Asked by HarryDuno16957 in Programming for ASP.NET

Tags: access, denied, formsidentity

I have a page that uses a MySQL data. It works fine. Then I wanted to add forms security to it, so I created a table of users, passwords, and roles. After every login and password was invalid, I printed out the exception and this is what it is:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: SQL Server does not exist or access denied. at System.Data.SqlClient.ConnectionPool.GetConnection(Boolean& isInTransaction) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnectionPoolManager.GetPooledConnection(SqlConnectionString options, Boolean& isInTransaction) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.Open() at _ASP.LoginPage_aspx.CustomAuthenticate(String username, String password)

Here are my two files:

Global.asax:
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Data.SqlClient" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Security.Principal" %>

<script language="C#" runat="server">
  void Application_AuthenticateRequest (Object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
      HttpApplication app = (HttpApplication) sender;

      if (app.Request.IsAuthenticated &&
          app.User.Identity is FormsIdentity) {
          FormsIdentity identity = (FormsIdentity) app.User.Identity;

          // Find out what role (if any) the user belongs to
          string role = GetUserRole (identity.Name);

          // Create a GenericPrincipal containing the role name
          // and assign it to the current request
          if (role != null)
              app.Context.User = new GenericPrincipal (identity,
                  new string[] { role });
      }
  }

  string GetUserRole (string name)
  {
      SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection
          ("Trusted_Connection=yes;server=localhost;database=xiaoweblogin;uid=root;pwd=");

      try {
          connection.Open ();

          StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder ();
          builder.Append ("select role from users " +
              "where username = \'");
          builder.Append (name);
          builder.Append ("\'");

          SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand (builder.ToString (),
              connection);

          object role = command.ExecuteScalar ();

          if (role is DBNull)
              return null;

          return (string) role;
      }
      catch (SqlException) {
          return null;
      }
      finally {
          connection.Close ();
      }
