Any ASP.net Security Experts Out There?

**accelerator** · 11-02-06

Hi

I am looking to develop a membership security solution on the following platform:

ASP.net 1.1
VB.net scripting
MySql

I have looked at the Microsoft site. However, I was wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of some good scripts or tutorials that involve the above platform. I need to develop the technology that will allow me to do "community", i.e. have a user give their details, get these saved into the MySql database, and then allow the user to access a password protected area of the site.

Thanks for any help, because so far it's really doing my head in!!!

I would seriously look at ASP.NET 2.0 where alot of the work is done for you.

Yes, life would be easier if I could use 2.0, but unfortunately I don't have the authority to get the server upgraded to 2.0. I will however, be looking at it. Microsoft's site now seems to be focusing on 2.0. You don't know of any good security resources relating to 1.1 do you?

Have you got any favourite asp.net tutorial sites that you'd care to share?

Thanks for your comments.

Sorry accelerator, I don't.

I don't think you'll find a solution/tutorial on the subject (though I haven't looked to be honest). I generally use Google "Groups", i.e. the ASP.NET newsgroups if I'm stuck with anything.

Good luck!

DotNetNuke might give you what you are looking for straight out of the box - http://www.dotnetnuke.com

The forums on the ASP.NET site are a great resource - http://forums.asp.net/ - if you have a problem then someone else is bound to have come up against it before and will have posted.

GotDotNet has been going ever since the Framework Beta came out and has loads of great stuff - http://www.gotdotnet.com/

Just about everything to do with .NET is on MSDN - http://msdn.microsoft.com/

Try searches on any of these site or the web for "Authentication and Authorization" or "Forms Authentication" - that should point you in the right direction.
