Closed Feature: Toggle force profile population with OpenID authentication [627]

TroyGoode — Fri, 02 Nov 2012 13:17:01 GMT

I'll refer to myself from this work item http://www.codeplex.com/MvcMembership/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=544:
---
I've integrated OpenID with my current project according to similar system as Peter's: http://www.eggheadcafe.com/tutorials/aspnet/4b3c7c9b-fe80-4e6e-a34e-0e9efed5c575/integrate-openid-authenti.aspx although I'm not using the Altairis Simple providers or Peter's derivatives. As in Peter's example, I have a system that once a user logs in with his/her OpenID the user is a) redirected to fill out his profile (new user) or b) redirected to requested / current page. I register users using the default Membership & Role providers with OpenID as the user's username. I don't show the OpenID in public, instead when user fill outs profile (mandatory) he/she can choose a public nickname. The profile fill out process takes into account if the user has filled out information on his OpenID profile. For example, let's say the user has filled out his nickname, birthdate and country on his OpenID account and is willing to share them. I request them as optional info and fill the profile fields automagically on my site using the users OpenID information. Smoother user experience. :-)
 
Troy, you mentioned here http://www.codeplex.com/MvcMembership/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=503 the default profile provider as being pretty bad and I fully agree (storing profile stuff in a blob, brrrr). I'm using the default Membership and Role providers as well as the SQL table profile provider http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2006/01/10/435038.aspx. The latter works well as a replacement for the default provider.
---
Troy's questions and my thoughts (not answers! I hope others chime in too):
1) What if the user gets to the profile population screen and navigates away? Would the user then see the profile population screen for every request until they've filled it out?
This is what I have implemented on my current project ("Please fill out your profile or logout to continue." along those lines) although the question written to words got me thinking whether this approach is too enforcing. Users usually don't like to be forced (I don't :-)) but sometimes they need to be nudged forward. A good point to ponder upon.
2) Would the user's account be registered with the system prior to successfully submitting the form?
In my implementation I don't register authenticated OpenID users with ASP.NET Membership (& Role) systems if they don't fill out the profile. Again, this is just how I initially decided to handle it. Kind of like I don't want stragglers around (just to say that I have so and so many registered users) but full commitment from users. :-)

ASP.Net MVC Membership Starter Kit

The starter kit provides the Asp.Net MVC controllers, models, and views needed to administer users & roles.

What is the Asp.Net MVC Membership Starter Kit?

The starter kit currently consists of two things:

A sample website containing the controllers, models, and views needed to administer users & roles.
A library that provides testable interfaces for administering users & roles and concrete implementations of those interfaces that wrap the built-in Asp.Net Membership & Roles providers.

Out of the box, the starter kit gives you the following features:

List of Users
List of Roles
User Account Info
Change Email Address
Change a User's Roles

New Post: Deleting All User Data

TroyGoode — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 15:12:15 GMT

Hi Ken, Thanks for pointing that out. I've added this as of the latest commit on GitHub: http://github.com/TroyGoode/MembershipStarterKit/commit/51445b77d1ae2a4fc3efffe57d596a36246a8295

New Post: Deleting All User Data

kenlewisjr — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 23:41:47 GMT

The current delete user code (i.e., IUserService.Delete) only deletes the user from the Membership table. This doesn't work for my particular scenario so I modified the code so that it uses "true" for the "deleteAllRelatedData" parameter instead of "false". I imagine there are scenarios where it is desirable to retain some of the user data.

My suggestion is to add the deleteAllRelatedData parameter to the Delete method for greater flexibility.

Thanks for sharing your code!

Ken

New Post: IEnumerable vs. IPagedList

TroyGoode — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 19:24:45 GMT

The simplest way is to just specify a page index of 0 and a really large page size (such int.MaxValue)... this will return all users as an IPagedList<MembershipUser> (which implements IList<MembershipUser>... which impelments IEnumerable<MembershipUser>). Let me know if you need any clarification!

New Post: IEnumerable vs. IPagedList

dthunziker — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 19:10:36 GMT

Hello,

First, I just wanted to say thanks for sharing and for all of your great work. If it weren't for this project, I would still be using WebForms.

My question is related to PagedList... I'm trying to hook up my list of Users to a Telerik Grid in order to achieve sorting and paging instead of using PagedList. Is there a way to simply return the MembershipUsers as IEnumerable instead of IPagedList?

Thanks!

New Post: Can't enter UserAdministration

TroyGoode — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 14:22:42 GMT

Make sure the user you have logged in as has been given the "Administrator" role. You can do so via the Web Admninistration Tool in Visual Studio.

psylion — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 14:21:00 GMT

I have the source code and register the SQL2008 with the ASPNET_REGSQL.exe (.Net 4.0)

I can create a user but when I want to go to the UserAdministration it redirect me alsway into account/login???

How can I open the details of my account ? Where I define the Roles

Do I need to map/merge/install more things into the DB?

I would like to use your starter kit to create a new module in Kooboo, any help will be appreciated.
