Hello Everybody!

I'm working on my custom registration interface and having a problem with it. I'm able to create new user by performing code like this :

        UserInfo user = new UserInfo();
        user.Username = txtUserName.Value.Trim();
        user.PortalID = PortalId;
        user.FirstName = txtFirstName.Value.Trim();
        user.LastName = txtLastName.Value.Trim();
        user.Membership.Username = txtUserName.Value.Trim();
        user.Membership.UpdatePassword = false;
        user.Membership.Password = txtPassword.Value;
        user.LastName = txtLastName.Value.Trim();
        user.IsSuperUser = false;
        user.Email = txtEmail.Value.Trim();
        user.DisplayName = txtFirstName.Value.Trim() + " " + txtLastName.Value.Trim();
       
        MembershipProvider.Instance().CreateUser(ref user);

Everything's going smoothly with this code, but I can't understand what else I should do to get user logged in after this process. I simply want user not to need passing login procedure just after he's done with registration.

That will be nice if somebody has idea about how to figure this out.

Thanks in advance!

I had to come up with some code recently to login a user given the username and password.

First, you have to check to see that the user was created successfully. Look at the value returned by CreateUser to do this.

Once you are satisfied that the user has been created, You need to validate the username/password pair. Then, you login the user. Here is a snippet of code that does this:

try
{
//validate username/password combination
DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserInfo myUser = new DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserInfo();
DotNetNuke.Security.Membership.UserLoginStatus userLoginStatus = new DotNetNuke.Security.Membership.UserLoginStatus();
myUser = DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserController.ValidateUser(myPortal, myUsername, myPassword, "", "", "", ref userLoginStatus);

if (userLoginStatus == DotNetNuke.Security.Membership.UserLoginStatus.LOGIN_SUCCESS ||
userLoginStatus == DotNetNuke.Security.Membership.UserLoginStatus.LOGIN_SUPERUSER)
{
//login the user ...
DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserController.UserLogin(PortalId, myUser, "", "", true);
}
else
{
...
}
}
catch
{
...
}

Thank you very much, Joe!

So I was using this setup and it worked great - thank you!

However, I just upgraded to 05.04.02 (66) and this solution doesn't work anymore!


Here's the code:


And for some reason, it just won't log the user in anymore. Any ideas?

Look at the code for the standard DNN authentication provider to see how it is done.  There may well have been some changes over the last couple of years.  I don't remember what that code was from, so I don't know if the site I developed it for has been upgrade and if it is still working.  I haven't had any problem reports, though.

Nevermind, I'm an idiot! I wasn't checking to see if the user validation was actually passing and it wasn't so when it redirected, of course it didn't work, the validation failed. I had the wrong password salt in the stored procedure that created the user, so the password was wrong every time.

Sorry for the bother, thanks for helping!

That you found the error and fixed it is what counts!
