  Custom authentication in WebMatrix

  Feb 14, 2012 08:04 AM|LINK

  I need to create an authentication webpage. In this web the users are saved in a propietary sql database. Is it possible to customize the websecurity helper or develop a custom authentication in webpages and razor, similarly as it's used in ASP.NET webforms?  

  Thank you in advance.

  Take a look at

  http://blog.osbornm.com/archive/2010/07/21/using-simplemembership-with-asp.net-webpages.aspx

  It will give you an overview of the SimpleMembership, you could just add the membership
  tables to your database and then add the connectionstring to the WebSecurity.InitializeDatabaseFile

  Thank you for your answer jeremyh but it's not exactly what I need. I already have a users table in my own database and I can't add membership tables. 

  In ASP.NET i can customize Login1_Authenticate method with my own code. Is possible to do something similar with WebMatrix?

  Thank you again.

  Is the user data that you have from the asp.net Memebership provider? If so you could define that in your web.config
  and take a look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/webmatrix.webdata.extendedmembershipprovider(v=vs.99).aspx

  But if the user data is from another source then I think you will have to be think along the lines of a custom provider.

  You can disable the simplemembership provider with

  <appSettings>
    <add key="enableSimpleMembership" value="false" />
  </appSettings>

  Hi jvilaro, if you are currently using the membership and role providers with asp.net webforms you should be able to do the same with webmatrix web pages.  The web pages framework uses forms authentication just like web forms does as far as I can tell and so should be able to support almost any authentication scheme that web forms does barring the use of the web form controls.

  After some chances I found the solution. 
  In web.config must activate forms authentication

  <system.web>
  	<authentication mode="Forms">
  		<forms timeout="60" loginUrl="Default.cshtml" defaultUrl="MemberPages/Portal.cshtml"/>
  	</authentication>
  </system.web>

  I have created a page called Default.cshtml with a login form and some authentication code:

  @using System.Web.Security;
  
  @{
  	Layout = "~/_SiteLayout.cshtml";
  
  	// Login
  	if (IsPost) {
  		if (userExist(Request.Form["username"], Request.Form["password"])) {	
  			FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(Request.Form["username"], false);
  		}
  	}
  }
  
  <section id="login">
  	<article class="splash">
  		<form method="post" action="">
  			<div class="indented">
  				<h1>Portal web móvil de Mentor</h1>
  
  				<input type="text" id="username" name="username" placeholder="Usuario" />
  				<input type="password" id="password" name="password" placeholder="Contraseña" />
  
  				<input type="submit" value="Iniciar sesión" title="Iniciar sesión" class="button big" />
  				<div class="copyright">2012 - Summar</div>
  			</div>
  		</form>
  	</article>
  </section>

  The key is in using FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage and a custom function for user validation called userExist.

  Thank you for all
