SetPassword for iMIS 15 Web Service

Posted June 9th, 2008 by adamb

I keep recieving this error when trying to set a password for a user through the web service;
"Server was unable to process request. ---> You must authenticate with the web service before you can set a user's password."

Below is the code I am trying to execute in visual studios;

Dim _iMISAuth As imis15.MembershipWebService = New imis15.MembershipWebService

Dim _strNewPassword As String = _iMISAuth.GeneratePassword
Dim _bolSetPassword As Boolean = False

If _iMISAuth.LoginUser("manager", "manager", True) = imis15.LogonResultCodes.Succeeded Then
_bolSetPassword = _iMISAuth.SetUserPassword(username, _strNewPassword)
End If

I don't have the membershp provider in the web.conf but I am calling the webservice and trying to authenticate that way according to http://www.imiscommunity.com/use_the_membership_web_service. I have tried different ways to authenticate before attemppting change the password. I do realize that there is a resetPassword but I can not use it for various reasons. This seems simple but I am just stuck . Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Adam, by default the web

On June 10th, 2008 Eric Means says:

Adam, by default the web service proxy generated by Visual Studio doesn't support cookies; you'll need to add the following line right after the line where you create the new MembershipWebService object:

_iMISAuth.CookieContainer = New System.Net.CookieContainer

That will ensure that the login information gets sent back with the call to SetUserPassword.

That was it. Thank you. My next question would be I am trying to get the SetPassword function from sending an email with the update, is that possible?

Do you mean you want to

On June 10th, 2008 Eric Means says:

Do you mean you want to prevent it from sending the update? If so, I think someone posted that the only way to do that is to put an invalid e-mail address (i.e. something that's not an e-mail address at all) in the "from" value in this portion of the web.config file for the site:

	<system.net>
		<mailSettings>
			<smtp deliveryMethod="network" from="imis@advsol.com">
				<network host="onrsmtp.asi.local" port="25" defaultCredentials="true"/>
			</smtp>
		</mailSettings>
	</system.net>

Doing that breaks the web

Also would that not break event confirmations?

"A hack to make the emails not send out.
On April 21st, 2008 MacM says:
I do have a small hack that will allow you to bypass the auto emails from the webservice.

Change the LogonChangesEmailFrom value to non valid email address.
Note!! Do not try and leave it empty (it will default to imis@advsol.com)

This should stop the email from getting out of the SMTP. Hopefully the webservices will come with a "Email" option / parameter in the future.
