I'm using Activedirectory as membership provider. I want to store the current logged in user in a session.
protected void user_login_LoggedIn(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MembershipUser user = Membership.GetUser();
}
the code above gives the error below

Edit:
Based upon using this from ASP.NET to get the login information about the currently authenticated user, I see a couple ways that this might work. First, if you are using Forms authentication with the Active Directory membership provider, you could capture the username there. Then you just put the username inside of the GetUser() method like so: GetUser(yourUser) and you should get the information needed.
If this isn't an option, I believe the username information is stored under your login control (in your case, I believe the name is user_login if you are indeed using a login control). You would simply say user_login.username and put that inside the GetUser() method.
Finally, you could try the old fallback of HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name and put that inside of your GetUser() method.

I have a WebForms application that uses Active Directory for authentication and authorization. It works just fine on localhost, but fails when I attempt to access the site once published to Azure. I have ensured that the application is registered with Azure Active Directory. The app launches and works as expected if I don't attempt to get the AD security groups of the current user. Here's the code in the Page_Load event of the Site Master that is causing the issues:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
PrincipalSearchResult<Principal> groups = UserPrincipal.Current.GetAuthorizationGroups();
IEnumerable<string> groupNames = groups.Select(x => x.Name);
if (HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
{
HyperLink newphaud = LIV.FindControl("liaNewPhaud") as HyperLink;
HtmlGenericControl liadmin = LIV.FindControl("navAdminsDdl") as HtmlGenericControl;
newphaud.Visible = (groupNames.Contains("SG1") || groupNames.Contains("SG2"));
liadmin.Visible = groupNames.Contains("SG1");
}
}

What do I need to do to allow my Azure web app to access AD?
Please do note that Azure AD != Windows AD. From the code it does seems that your app is accessing the local Windows AD. So when you are in Azure you have basically two options
1) Use Azure AD API for authentication and get the User Info
2) You can have a separate Windows VM running the Windows AD which then would be accessed by your Azure Web App.
If I were you I would have explored the first option. Hope it helps
I keep getting the following error when trying to run an application in the production environment with "anonymous" authentication and hardcoded username.
When I turn on basic authentication, which then prompts for username/password everything works like a charm. but I need to get the hardcoded version to work as well. Can't figure out whats going on.
Everything works perfectly on another server.

One thing to check is that the AppPool in which the ASP.NET app is running has the right privileges. As a quick test you can set the identity of the AppPool to Local System and see if this solves the issue. If the problem is here, then you can set the application pool identity to a (domain?) user that has enough privileges on this server.
looks like the issue was that the server was looking at the wrong AD controller. it had to be written out COMPLETELY.
On these lines of code:
// Run compiler
Process p = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("java.exe", ex);
p.WaitForExit();
We get this error:

As noted in my other question it would appear this is a permissions error. However, this error disappears if I recycle my app pool. It then starts throwing this error again within a couple of hours or so.
The apppool in question is running with LocalService identity. Anyone know what would be causing this to break?

Custom event details:
I've got an ASP.NET app that requires Windows Integrated Security.
For some reason, I don't what to discuss that here, I need to create a WebRequest at runtime, call some other page in the app and process the result.
The application runs on a server for which we use a DNS alias, something like theapp.domain.com.
So I create a NetworkCredential with a predefined domain user and password and I attach it to the request.
This is what I get:

The same code works on other servers with similar setup though.
What is going on?
Found the answer to this one.
Turned out to be as simple as adding an SPN to Active Directory like so:
setspn -a HTTP//WebServer.domain.com customDomainAccount
setspn -a HTTP//servername customDomainAccount
I have a website that I published before adding it in IIS. After that I set the published website as the default website in IIS.
I got an error that the "Object reference is not set to the instance of an object" when I inserted values through form. There is no issues when the website is running in IIS without publishing. The error occurs when values are inserted using datagrid.
The error messages is as follows:
Server Error in '/' Application.
Object reference not set to an
instance of an object.

If any one knows please help me. Thank you.
That exception is caused by an object not being instantiated. Open the project and attach a debugger to the IIS process. A web service which is consuming the ASP.NET page is throwing the exception.
Try this:
Click your site in IIS
Open Pages and Controls section
Find ViewState group and check if ViewState is enabled.
Such solution helped me to solve null reference exception problem after publish.
