This is actual one of the password that was generated 7q@M*t{DCx)0;h Do i have to setup an event handle for the changepassword id to work or i have to write some codes Thanks
I cannot get the changepassword id to work.When i try to change the password i keep getting that the password is incorrect or new pasword is invalid non-alphanmeric character required. Even when the password recovery send me a new password and i past it in i still get the same message. any ideas i'm using sql2000 Thanks <authentication mode="Forms"> <forms name="SqlAuthCookie" timeout="10" /> </authentication> <authorization> <allow roles="ADMIN" /> <deny roles="ADMIN" /> <allow users="*" /> </authorization> <membership defaultProvider="SqlProvider" userIsOnlineTimeWindow="20"> <providers> <add name="SqlProvider" type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider" connectionStringName="LocalSqlServer" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="true" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="True" passwordFormat="Hashed" minRequiredPasswordLength="7" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="1" applicationName="/" /> </providers> </membership>
Does your newly generated password have a non - alphanumeric character? If no then try setting minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters='0' Vikram DiscountASP.NET www.DiscountASP.NET
It is very informative but i was not aware i have to create a custom membership provider to get the changepassword to work .Can i create a custom provider even though i'm using a aspnetdb . I'm not farmilar with the classes i'm just a newbie so i'm goinglook more into the steps and figure out what is burning membershipprovider is Thanks
Yeah, aspnetdb refers to your database schma used by the membership provider.In the link i sent you ,the burning membershipprovider(CustomMembershipUser in the following example) is the custom membership provider and nothin else.All you need to do is override the Changepassword function in my MembershipUser class as follows: Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic Public Class CustomMembershipUser:Inherits MembershipUser Public Overrides Function ChangePassword(ByVal oldPassword As String, ByVal newPassword As String) As Boolean Return Membership.Provider.ChangePassword(Me.UserName, oldPassword, newPassword) End Function End Class Vikram DiscountASP.NET www.DiscountASP.NET
I created a the classbut still dont work Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic Public Class lesson Public Class CustomMembershipUser : Inherits MembershipUser Public Overrides Function ChangePassword(ByVal oldPassword As String, ByVal newPassword As String) As Boolean Return Membership.Provider.ChangePassword(Me.UserName, oldPassword, newPassword) End Function End Class End Class
Is ittrue that you cannot email a hashed password in the changpassword id i was told that is the reason why i'm getting the error?
How are you retrieving your old password? I see enablePasswordRetrieval='false' in your web.config. If your password you mentioned earlier (7q@M*t{DCx)0;h) is a hashed version then that?s not your old password which could be the cause this issue. Please see : http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.security.membership.enablepasswordretrieval.aspx to know more about password retrieval . Vikram DiscountASP.NET www.DiscountASP.NET
You can only reset hashed passwords. To be able to retrieve passwords set the passwordFormat to "Clear". Aristotle DiscountASP.NET www.DiscountASP.NET
Hi vvshrama Ok let say someone forgets their password. when they request a password ,the system send a generated password which you would to log on ,then change the password.Now which password do you put in the changepassword id. Itsays oldpassword Newpassword etc. arent you supose to put in the generated password in box that say oldpassword... then create a new password andput it in the newpassword box?.if that is not the correct way, how would oneknows the old password if the onlyreason why youusing the forgotpassword control isbecause you forgot the password .sSo what is the purpose of the generated password ?i thought that uwould put it in the old password in box then chnage to a new one Thanks
