Hi,
I implemented a simple user/roles system for the website I use it on shared Windows server.
It is basically what is described here: Role-based Security with Forms Authentication
It works fine as long as I run it on my inhouse server.
If I deploy the application it seems like the code part were user roles are checked on
“Application_AuthenticateRequest” in code behind of Global.asax.
is not executed.
I can reproduce it on the inhouse server if I do NOT copy the Global.asax into the root directory. How ever on my jodohost server it is in the root, and yet it seems as were it missing. I requested support but I was just forwarded back and forth for 2 weeks now. One thing I know that permissions on Global asax seems to be fine. And user gets authenticated only the roles are gone.
I think I am not the first one on Jodohost who does some thing that is describe in the article above.
Does any one know were to look for errors? What am I doing wrong?
This may be totally irrelevant but I’m a big fan of Rocky Lhotka’s CSLA framework. His examples create the principal etc on the Application_AcquireRequestState event.
I don’t have Rocky’s book with me right now but I remember reading something in it saying that Application_AuthenticateRequest might sound like the obvious event to use but it’s really too early in the sequence of events. There are things that are not setup properly until AcquireRequestState. So … that might be worth a try.
CSLA unfortunately won’t work on shared hosting. It needs full trust.
After buggin the guys from support it finally works on my jodo host test server
but not on production. I am not quite sure whether why cause i never got an answer to why it did not work and how they made it work.so once more i have to wait. Hopefully less than 3 weeks this time
Hi
thank you Jodohost support for being there for me 24/7!!!
I my case it was start stop the server.
I was googleing this topic and basically there a number of issues that can resolve the problem.
Problem: Events are not fired in Global.asax
Resolution (one of em could work)
Stop the Website deploy Start the Website (worked for me but i never read about that)
Put the code behind of Global.asax inside a block
Remove the Gobal.asax from the VS2005 Project and add it again.
Change the Event Name from Application_Start to Application_OnStart
Remove PrecompiledApplication.config
