I am using linked-in j library.
I am able to connect with linked-in but when i go for details for the profile of current user then i get whole Person object but this object only contain the values of first name, last name and headline.And other values are null.
But when i go to my linked-in public profile their i can see the skills, college etc.
My application have full access.
I think you never set ProfileField's in enum
Please try like this,
Set<ProfileField> propertiesToFetch = EnumSet.of(ProfileField.ID,
ProfileField.FIRST_NAME, ProfileField.LAST_NAME,
ProfileField.HEADLINE, ProfileField.PICTURE_URL,
ProfileField.DATE_OF_BIRTH, ProfileField.PHONE_NUMBERS,
ProfileField.MAIN_ADDRESS, ProfileField.INDUSTRY,
ProfileField.EDUCATIONS, ProfileField.LANGUAGES_LANGUAGE_NAME,
ProfileField.SKILLS_SKILL_NAME,
ProfileField.CERTIFICATIONS_NAME, ProfileField.POSITIONS_TITLE,
ProfileField.POSITIONS_COMPANY_NAME,
ProfileField.POSITIONS_COMPANY);
Person profile = client.getProfileForCurrentUser(propertiesToFetch);

I am using the ASP.NET Identity framework, with the EntityFramework provider (IdentityDbContext).
I attempt to create a user by calling UserManager.CreateAsync(..).
It returns an object of type IdentityResult, with the following values:
{
Succeeded: false,
Errors: ["Name AndrewShepherd is already taken."]
}
The error is valid - there is indeed another user called "AndrewShepherd" in the database. This is not a name the user picked; instead I am generating this name from the Outh2 account information provided by their Google account. (Google Accounts don't enforce unique names, just unique email addresses).
Since the problem is a duplicate name, I can simply try appending a number to the name and trying again. I would programmatically attempt to create AndrewShepherd_1, AndrewShepherd_2, AndrewShepherd_3 until I am either successful or get a different error.
But how do I programatically determine that the problem was a duplicate name?
Options are:
Perform a pattern match on the error string. This solution is guaranteed to break when the next version of ASP.NET Identity has a differently worded error messages or we internationalize the website.
Run the check before creating the user. I would call UserStore.FindByNameAsync to determine if the name had already been taken before invoking UserManager.CreateASync(..). This would have a small concurrency risk if two different sessions are attempting to add the same user name at the same time.
It would be some much easier if we could simply perform a check like this:
if(identityResult.Errors.Where(e => e.ErrorCode == IdentityErrors.DuplicateName).Any())
Is there a way I can perform a unique user check then add a user, that's safe in a concurrent environment?
As an alternaive, you can check if the user name is exist in your DB like that. If user name is already taken, you can change new user name like AndrewShepherd_1, AndrewShepherd_2, AndrewShepherd_3.
using (YourProjectName.Models.DefaultConnection db = new Models.DefaultConnection ())
{
if (db.AspNetUsers.Select(q => q.UserName).Contains("usernameThatYouWantToCheck"))
{
/*Your code*/
}
}
I have managed to successfully configure this. The problem is, when I change the lines below :
//I have set all requested data with the user's username
//modify here with relevant data
$user->setUsername($username);
$user->setEmail($username);
$user->setPassword($username);
into the information I want to retrive, such as real name, email, my generated password etc, when I click the Login button for Facebook per say, I am asked again if I want to connect with my local testing site.
From what I understand, in the documentation I linked above, this :
$user = $this->userManager->findUserBy(array($this->getProperty($response) => $username));
is the line that checks if the user exists or not, and the initial code by itself, sets either facebook_id or twitter_id (this is how I save them) as a new User *username*. If I change the line
$user->setUsername($username); //same as facebook/twitter _id
into
$user->setUsername(setProperUsername()); //sets a proper unique username
Then everytime I try to login I get the "Register" message. So, I have a general idea of how it works but I am having a hard time understanding some things:
1. When I have registered with Facebook and I login with twitter, I register again, no knew row is created, but missing twitter_id fields are updated/populated, username stays intact. How come HWI/FOSUB knows I am the same person when my previous data were from Facebook not Twitter?
2. If there is a global way of knowing I am the same person, what data from the $response object should I use as a key to identify already registered users?
After testing a lot with this, I have the answer if anyone runs into this type of situation
Check your default_target path, make it so it is /profile, /account etc, don't default to login again. Also, if a user is already logged in, do not make him access your login page. This was why my data was being updated. I was basically logged in with my Facebook account and registering with my Twitter account too.
No, there is no global way of knowing I am the same person. The $response object sent me a unique ID for that specific user according to the provider policy. You might use this to identify already registered users and log them in.
I am building a User Management page and am trying to retrieve both the number of registered users and the number currently online using the following code.(FYI...I am using mySQL as the membership provider) There are currently 4 users in the asp_net_users table so at least 4 should come up on the GetAllUsers request.
lblOnlineUsers.Text = Membership.GetNumberOfUsersOnline().ToString()
lblTotalUsers.Text = Membership.GetAllUsers.Count.ToString()
The labels are always blank. Even if I put a MsgBox(Membership.GetAllUsers.Count.ToString()) in the pageload, that msgbox never comes up. Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong here?
You valid your user credential with ValidateUser or UpdateUser method , and you re-test
I'm developing a ASP.NET site in umbraco, and I need to see if a member with a given ID is online. How can I do that?
So far, I've tried to get the member by so:
Member m = new Member(myID);
But how can I check, if the returned member is logged in or not?
EDIT: I followed the link, and extracted the following code from it:
var users = Membership.GetAllUsers();
foreach(MembershipUser user in users){
Response.Write(user.IsOnline.ToString() +"<br/>");
Response.Write(user.LastActivityDate.ToString() + "<br/>");
Response.Write(user.LastLoginDate.ToString() + "<br/>");
}
However, the returned result shows that the property isOnline is true for every member, even though they're not online. I'm aware that it is because of the fact that the LastActivityDate updates automatically whenever I access the user, as stated here: Is it possible to access a profile without updating LastActivityDate?. Unfortunately, I don't get the solution to that question.
I've also tried to access the member by:
MembershipUser m = Membership.GetUser('myID',false);
But even though I put false as the second parameter, the LastActivityDate still updates. How can I work around this? I should note that I work with ASP.NET v. 4.0 in umbraco 4.7 at a localhost.
Thanks!

You can use the MembershipUser.IsOnline Property that show true if the current date and time minus the UserIsOnlineTimeWindow property value is earlier than the lastActivityDate for the user.
There is an example on the MSDN page.
relative:
Proper 100% IsOnline implementation for asp.net membership
How to check in ASP.NET if the user is online?
asp.net custom membership provider: IsOnline property
The solution to the problem:
(1) I made a costum field in the membertype called lastActivityDate.
(2) I placed a macro on the masterpage, update the member's lastActivityDate to the current time given that the member was online.
(3) On the validation page I checked if the lastActivityDate + CostumBuffer was bigger than DateTime.Now.
Thanks for your patience Aristos.
In the Security model for out ASP.Net website (.Net 3.5) we store the page name:
page.GetType().Name
as the primary key in a database table to be able to lookup if a user has access to a certain page. The first time a page is visited this record is created automatically in the database.
We have exported these database statements to insert scripts, but each time a new page gets created we have to update the scripts, not a huge issue, but I would like to find an automated way to do this.
I created an attribute that I tagged a few pages with and then wrote a small process to get all the objects that have this attribute, through the reflection create an instance and insert the record using the same code to for page records mentioned above:
IEnumerable<Type> viewsecurityPages = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetTypes().Where(t => t.IsDefined(typeof(ViewSecurityAttribute),false));
foreach (Type t in viewsecurityPages)
{
object obj = Activator.CreateInstance(t, false);
//clip..(This code just checks if the record already exists in the DB)
if (feature == null)
{
Attribute attb = Attribute.GetCustomAttribute(t, typeof(ViewSecurityAttribute));
if (attb != null)
{
CreateSecurableFeatureForPage((Page)obj, uow, attb.ToString());
}
}
}
The issue is that page.GetType().Name when the page goes through the actual page cycle process is something like this:
search_accounts_aspx
but when I used the activator method above it returns:
Accounts
So the records don't match the in the security table. Is there anyway to programtically "visit" a webpage so that it goes through the actual page lifecycle and I would get back the correct value from the Name parameter?
Any help/reference will be greatly appreciated.
Interesting problem...
Of course there's a (too obvious?) way to programmatically visit the page... use System.Net.HttpWebRequest. Of course, that requires the URI and not just a handle to the object. This is a "how do we get there from here?" problem.
My suggestions would be to simply create another attribute (or use that same one) which stores the identifier you need. Then it will be the same either way you access it, right?
Alternatively... why not just use a 3rd party web spider/crawler to crawl your site and hit all the pages? There are several free options. Or am I missing something?
