Walkthrough: Using Authentication Service with Silverlight Navigation Application

[ This document was written for WCF Services Version 1 Service Pack 2 and might not be up to date 
 Please see Release Notes or Changelog for a list of changes since WCF RIA Services ]
In this walkthrough, you learn how to set up your server and client projects in an Open Ria Services solution to work with an authentication service. When you create a solution with the Silverlight Navigation Application template and enable Open Ria Services, you can access the ASP.NET Membership framework by adding an authentication service. The authentication service exposes authentication, roles, and profiles from the server project to the client project. You use the authentication service to validate user credentials, restrict access to resources based on roles, and store profile properties.
Note: The Silverlight Business Application automatically implements the authentication service. For more information, see Walkthrough: Using Authentication Service with Silverlight Business Application.
Prerequisites
This and the other walkthroughs presented in the Open Ria Services documentation require several prerequisite programs, such as Visual Studio and the Silverlight Developer Runtime and SDK, be installed and configured properly, in addition to Open Ria Services and the Open Ria Services Toolkit. They also require installing and configuring SQL Server 2008 R2 Express with Advanced Services and installing the AdventureWorks OLTP and LT database.
Detailed instructions for the satisfaction of each of these prerequisites are provided by the topics within the Prerequisites for Open Ria Services node. Follow the instructions provided there before proceeding with this walkthrough to ensure that you encounter as few problems as possible when working through this Open Ria Services walkthroughs.
Configuring the Server Project for Authentication, Roles, and Profiles
To use the authentication service from a Silverlight application, you must configure the authentication on the server project. You configure authentication in the Web.config file. After configuring authentication, you can also configure roles and profiles on the server project, if you want to use those features from the Silverlight application. In this walkthrough, you will configure all three features. Finally, you add an authentication service which exposes the enabled features to the client.
To configure the server project
1.In Visual Studio, select File, New, and then Project.
The New Project dialog box appears.
2.Select the Silverlight project type.
3.Select the Silverlight Navigation Application template and name the application ExampleNavigationApplication.
4.Click OK.
The New Silverlight Application dialog box appears.
5.Make sure that the Host the Silverlight application in a new Web site check box is selected and that the New Web project type is set to ASP.NET Web Application Project.
6.Select the Enable Open Ria Services check box.
7.Click OK to create the solution.
8.In the server project (ExampleBusinessApplication.Web), open the Web.config file.
9.In the \ element, add an \ element and set the mode property to Forms.
1
<authentication mode="Forms"></authentication>
Copied!
10.In the \ element, add a \ element and set the enabled property to true.
1
<roleManager enabled="true"></roleManager>
Copied!
11.In the \ element, add a \ element, set the enabled property to true, and include a profile property named DefaultRows.
1
<profile enabled="true">
2
  <properties>
3
    <add type="System.Int32" defaultValue="10" name="DefaultRows"/>
4
  </properties>
5
</profile>
Copied!
The completed \ element should include the following elements.
1
<system.web>
2
  <compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0" />
3
  <authentication mode="Forms"></authentication>
4
  <roleManager enabled="true"></roleManager>
5
  <profile enabled="true">
6
    <properties>
7
      <add type="System.Int32" defaultValue="10" name="DefaultRows"/>
8
    </properties>
9
  </profile>
10
</system.web>
Copied!
12.Save the Web.config file.
13.In the Solution Explorer, right-click the server project, select Add and then New Item.
The Add New Item dialog box appears.
14.Select the Authentication Domain Service template and name it AuthenticationDomainService.
​
​
15.Click Add.
16.Open the authentication service code file (AuthenticationDomainService.cs or AuthenticationDomainService.vb) and add the DefaultRows property that you defined in the Web.config file to the User class.
1
<EnableClientAccess()> _
2
Public Class AuthenticationDomainService
3
    Inherits AuthenticationBase(Of User)
4
​
5
End Class
6
​
7
Public Class User
8
    Inherits UserBase
9
​
10
    Public Property DefaultRows As Integer
11
​
12
End Class
Copied!
1
[EnableClientAccess]

public class AuthenticationDomainService : AuthenticationBase<User>
3
{
4
}
5
​
6
public class User : UserBase
7
{
8
    public int DefaultRows { get; set; }
9
}
Copied!
17.Build the solution.
In this section, you will use the ASP.NET Web Site Administration Tool to create a user and role. You will login as this user in a later section.
To add users with the ASP.NET Web Site Administration Tool
1.To open the ASP.NET Web Site Administration Tool, first select the server project in the Solution Explorer.
2.On the Project menu, select ASP.NET Configuration.
If you do not see the ASP.NET Configuration option in the Project menu, it may be because you have selected the client project.
​
​
3.Select the Security tab in ASP.NET Web Site Administration Tool.
​
​
4.In the Roles section, click the Create or Mange roles link.
5.Add a new role named Managers and click the Add Role button.
​
​
6.In the lower-right corner, click the Back button.
7.In the Users section, click the Create user link.
8.Create a new user with the following values and select the Managers role check box.
User Name: CustomerManager
Password: [email protected]
E-mail: [email protected]
Security Question: Favorite color?
Security Answer: Blue
Managers role: selected
​
​
9.Click the Create User button.
10.Close the ASP.NET Web Site Administration Tool.
Configuring the Client for Authentication
You must configure the client project to use the authentication mode that matches the authentication mode you configured in the server project.
To configure the client project
1.In the client project, open the code-behind file for the App.xaml file (App.xaml.cs or App.xaml.vb).
2.In the constructor, create a new instance of the WebContext class.
3.Set the Authentication property to a new instance of the FormsAuthentication class, and add the WebContext instance to the ApplicationLifetimeObjects.
1
Public Sub New()
2
    InitializeComponent()
3
​
4
    Dim webcontext As New WebContext
5
    webcontext.Authentication = New OpenRiaServices.Client.Authentication.FormsAuthentication
6
    Me.ApplicationLifetimeObjects.Add(webcontext)
7
End Sub
Copied!
1
public App()
2
{
3
    this.Startup += this.Application_Startup;
4
    this.UnhandledException += this.Application_UnhandledException;
5
​
6
    InitializeComponent();
7
​
8
    WebContext webcontext = new WebContext();
9
    webcontext.Authentication = new OpenRiaServices.Client.Authentication.FormsAuthentication();
10
    this.ApplicationLifetimeObjects.Add(webcontext);
11
}
Copied!
Adding Login Functionality to the Client
In this section, you will add Silverlight controls that enable the user to provide user name and password for logging in. You will add code that calls the Login method with the user's credentials. You will also set which controls are visible based on whether the user is logged in.
For simplicity, the login user interface is added to the Home page in this walkthrough. In your application, you may want to create a separate login page.
To login and logout a user
1.In Solution Explorer, expand the Views folder in the client project.
2.Open the Home.xaml file.
3.After the TextBlock named ContentText, add the following XAML.
The XAML includes a TextBox for providing a user name, a PasswordBox for providing a password, a Button for submitting the login request, and a TextBlock and HyperlinkButton for logging out which are only displayed after the user has logged in.
1
<TextBlock x:Name="WelcomeText" Style="{StaticResource ContentTextStyle}" Visibility="Collapsed"></TextBlock>
2
<HyperlinkButton x:Name="LogoutButton" 
3
                 Content="Logout" 
4
                 Click="LogoutButton_Click"

Adding New Users from the Client
The authentication service does not contain an operation to create new users. To register a new user, you create an empty domain service and add an operation for adding a user to the ASP.NET Membership framework.
To configure the server project for adding a new user
1.In the server project, add a new class file named NewUser.
2.Define the properties for registering a new user by adding the following code to the NewUser class.
1
Imports System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations
2
​
3
Public Class NewUser
4
​
5
    <Key()> _

The ConfirmPassword property in the previous step is defined with a CustomValidationAttribute attribute. In the attribute, it specifies a RegistrationValidator class and a method named IsPasswordConfirmed. You must now define this custom validation class.
3.Add a new class named RegistrationValidator.shared.cs or RegistrationValidator.shared.vb.
4.Add the following code to the RegistrationValidator.shared file.
1
Imports System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations

5.Add a new item to the server project and select the Domain Service Class template.
6.Name the file RegistrationDomainService.cs or RegistrationDomainService.vb and then click the Add button.
7.In the Add New Domain Service Class dialog box, select \ from the Available DataContexts/ObjectContexts list.
8.Click OK.
9.To create a domain operation that adds a new user through the Membership framework and saves a profile property, add the following code to the RegistrationDomainService class.
The GetUsers method must be included to ensure that the NewUser entity class is generated for the client project. Only classes that are exposed through a public query operation are generated in the client project.
After creating the user, the profile property named DefaultRows is set. In this case, the profile property is set as part of the domain operation for creating a user. In a later section, you will add code to set the profile property from the client project.

To configure the client project for adding new users
1.Open the Home.xaml file.
2.After the end tag for the LoginBorderBorder control, add the following XAML to create a second Border control with input controls to collect information for creating new users.
The controls accept values for user name, password, password confirmation, e-mail address, security question, security answer, and the number of records to show on reports. The number of records to display will be saved as a profile property. All of the other values are used to create the user through ASP.NET Membership framework.
