asp.net - ProfileProvider: retrieve list of all profiles

Question

I'm developing an asp.net intranet website with a ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider and a SqlProfileProvider.

One of the requirements of my website is to have a "Birthdays" page, which would require me to list all profiles and retrieving the birthday information from it.

I approached the problem as follows:

• Invoke the Membership.GetAllUsers() static method;
• Iterate through the list of users and retrieve the profile from the member's user name

This approach, however, failed for the following reasons:

• The webapp is impersonating the current logged user to retrieve its AD details (identity impersonate="true" in the web.config), so I get an exception "access is denied" when trying to invoke the GetAllUsers
• If I do try to make the webapp impersonate a super user account then AD returns the user names as username@domain-name format, but in my profile provider they were initially stored as domain-name\username format.

So, how would you go around this problem to retrieve the whole list of profiles for any member of the organization?

Answer 1

There is a ProfileManager with the a method GetAllProfiles():

Answer 2

虽然我以前从未这样做过，但您可以尝试创建一个辅助模拟上下文，当建立时，调用GetAllUsers应该成功。

看看http://chiragrdarji.blogspot.com/2007/03/impersonation-using-code.html，这个章节似乎通过使用System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentityclass 和System.Security.Principal.WindowsImpersonationContext. 可能值得一试。

Answer 3

ProfileInfoCollection profiles = ProfileManager.GetAllProfiles(ProfileAuthenticationOption.All);
foreach (ProfileInfo pi in profiles)
{
    ProfileCommon p = Profile.GetProfile(pi.UserName);
    countries.Add(p.Country);        
}
