Hi,

I am trying to implement Passport authentication on a site that I am
developing using .Net beta 1. I am having problems in getting the Puid and
the profile. Can anyone share code snippets of implementing Passport and
getting the Puid and profile of the user.

Thanks and Regards,

It's been a while since I worked with this, but the code below should be
pretty close.
Create a config.web like this:
<configuration>
<security>
<authentication mode=3D"passport">
<passport redirecturl=3D"internal"/>
</authentication>
<authorization>
<deny users=3D"?"/>
</authorization>
</security>
</configuration>
The deny users part prohibits anyone from seeing your pages until
they're authenticated. The redirecturl is the place where users are sent
to sign in. "Internal" sends them to a built-in page; you can supply the
URL of your own page if you prefer. You can omit the authorization part
and handle the sign-in on your own, like classic Passport. The beauty of
doing it in config.web is that it automatically applies to the whole
site and you don't have to put authorization logic in every page.

The main aspx page structure should look like this:

<%@ Page Language=3D"C#" %>
<%@ Import Namespace=3D"System.Web.Security" %>

<html>
<head>
<title>Simple Passport Test</title>
</head>

<body>
<H2>Passport Simple Test</H2>
<%
try=20
{
if ( !(Context.User.Identity is PassportIdentity) )
{
Response.Write("Error: Passport authentication failed. Make sure
that the passport SDK (v1.4) is installed.");
    return;
}

// Expire the page to avoid the browser's cache
Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);
Response.Expires =3D 0;
Response.AppendHeader( "Cache-Control", "no-cache" );
Response.AppendHeader( "Pragma", "no-cache" );

string sThisPage =3D "http://"; +
Request.ServerVariables["SERVER_NAME"] +
Request.ServerVariables["SCRIPT_NAME"];
=20
PassportIdentity id =3D (PassportIdentity)Context.User.Identity;
=20
Response.Write("<p>" + id.LogoTag()); // beta1
Response.Write("<p/>\n");

// Removes passport cookies passed on query string after a user logs
in.
if ( id.GetFromNetworkServer )
{
Response.Redirect(sThisPage);
}

if (id.IsAuthenticated)
{
// id.Name returns the PUID
    Response.Write("<b>You have been authenticated as Passport
identity: " + id.Name + "</b><p/>\n");

if (id.HasProfile("core"))
{
    Response.Write("<b>Profile Objects</b><br/>\n");
    Response.Write("Birthdate: " + id["Birthdate"] + "<br>\n");
//alternate technique
    Response.Write("Birthdate: " + id.GetProfileObject("Birthdate")
+ "<br>\n");

// PUID can be built from IDHigh + IDLow
    Response.Output.Write("Member ID High: 0x{0:X8}<br>\n",
id.GetProfileObject("memberIDHigh"));
    Response.Output.Write("Member ID Low: 0x{0:X8}<br>\n",
id.GetProfileObject("memberIDLow"));
    }
else
{
    Response.Write("<br/>\n");
    Response.Write("<b>No Profile available</b><br/>\n");
}
}
else if (id.HasTicket) //stale ticket
{
Response.Write("Your ticket is stale. (" + id.TicketAge + "
seconds old) <a href=3D\"" + id.AuthUrl() + "\">refresh</a>\n");
}
else
{
Response.Write("Not authenticated, please sign in");
}
}=20
catch ( Exception e)=20
{
Response.Write( "Unhandled exception: " + e.Message );
}
%>

</body>
</html>

The site's "delete cookies" page simply needs to call
PassportIdentity.SignOut();
