I am trying to grab the user name from my AuthCookie to use to control other variables. The cookie is defined in the index here:
<HttpPost()> _
Public Function Index(model As users.LogOnModel) As ActionResult
'call LogOnModel
'--------------------------
If ModelState.IsValid Then
'check username and password
If model.pwd = db.users.First(Function(t) t.NT_id = model.NT_id).pwd Then
'create an authentication cookie
FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(model.NT_id, False) 'set to false to destroy cookie on browser close
'redirect action if login is successful
Return RedirectToAction("Construction", "Home")
Else
ModelState.AddModelError("", "Invalid Username or Password")
End If
End If
Return View(model)
End Function
I am trying to declare it in a variable here to be used to control other variables:
' User variables
'---------------------------
Public Shared uNT_id = IF(HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name is nothing, System.Environment.UserName, Trycast(HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name, String))
Public Shared uid = db_apps.app_users.First(Function(t) t.NT_id = uNT_id).app_user_id
Public Shared ussn = db_apps.app_users.First(Function(t) t.NT_id = uNT_id).ssn
Public Shared upwd = db_apps.app_users.First(Function(t) t.NT_id = uNT_id).pwd
Public Shared uname_first = db_apps.app_users.First(Function(t) t.NT_id = uNT_id).name_first
' App variables
'---------------------------
Public Shared appcount = db_apps.app_users.Count(Function(t) t.NT_id = uNT_id)
Public Shared Function appid_multiple() As String
Dim appidQ = From v In db_apps.app_users
Where v.NT_id = uNT_id
Select v
'Create a String representation
Dim stringList As New System.Text.StringBuilder
Dim counter As Integer = 0
For Each v In appidQ
stringList.Append(v.app_id.ToString())
'Separator
If Not counter = appidQ.Count - 1 Then
stringList.Append(",")
End If
counter += 1
Next
Return stringList.ToString
End Function
Public Shared appid = db_apps.app_users.First(Function(t) t.NT_id = uNT_id).app_id
The end result is uNT_id needs to equal either the username they log into the website with, or the username they logged onto there computer with so for example mine should be:
uNT_id = "z148658"
and then I would use uNT_id to control all these other variables.
The following code returns the string I am trying to return
however if a user logs in and terminates the window, which SHOULD kill the cookie, the HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name is still equivalent to the last user to log in. The same holds true if a new user attempts to log in.
