Implementing a Custom Membership Provider with slightly bizarre requirements?

I think it could work. We do #3 on one of our sites. Here is a chunk of code that we use to take care of it.To use this, create a login page (transparentlogin.

Aspx or something similar), make sure that the web. Config file allows anonymous access to this page, and put code like this in the page_load function for the transparentlogin. Aspx page: const string specialpassword = "ThisIsOurSpecialPasswordForBehindTheScenesLogin"; if (MobileNumberFoundInHeader()) { string username = GetMobileNumberFromHeaders(); // Authenticate the user behind the scenes System.Web.Security.

FormsAuthentication. SetAuthCookie(username, false); System.Web.Security. FormsAuthentication.

Authenticate(username, specialpassword); } else { throw new Exception ("Mobile Number Missing"); } Then, in the ValidateUser function in the MembershipProvider, make sure you do a check like this: public override bool ValidateUser(string username, string password) { const string specialpassword = "ThisIsOurSpecialPasswordForBehindTheScenesLogin"; bool ValidationSuccess = false; // If the password being passed in is the right secret key (same // for all users), then we will say that the password matches the // username, thus allowing the user to login if (password == specialpassword) { ValidationSuccess = true; } if (DoStandardUsernamePasswordVerification() == true) { ValidationSuccess = true; } return ValidationSuccess; } As for requirement #2, I'm a little confused. What exactly is an operator? I thought we were dealing with a mobile phone using a web browser to browse to a website.

Where does the operator fit into that? If the solution I propose above doesn't help, please post a response with more details about the Operator Tim.

Cheers... yeah that's pretty much the conclusion I came to. Re: "Operators"... I mean the Mobile Phone Network Operators... e.g. AT&T, Vodafone, T-Mobile etc... – Eoin Campbell Jul 7 '09 at 10:07.

Aspx page.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
