Question

I’ll need to preface this with the fact that I am a complete newbie when it comes to nhibernate, and I don’t know what I don’t know.

I have a user class like so:

public class nhMembershipUser : MembershipUser
{
    public new virtual Guid ProviderUserKey { get; set; }
    public new virtual DateTime LastPasswordChangedDate { get; set; }
    public virtual bool IsEnabled { get; set; }
    protected internal virtual byte[] Password { get; set; }
    protected internal virtual string Salt { get; set; }
    public virtual string FirstName { get; set; }
    public virtual string LastName { get; set; }
    public virtual string Application { get; set; }
    public new virtual string UserName { get; set; }
    public override bool IsOnline
    {
        get
        {
            var UnitOfWork = new nhUnitOfWork();
            return UnitOfWork.UserIsOnline(this);
        }
    }
    public new virtual bool IsLockedOut { get; set; }
    public virtual IList<nhRole> Roles { get; set; }

}

… and a fluent mapping class like so:

public class nhMembershipUserMap : ClassMap<nhMembershipUser>
{
    public nhMembershipUserMap()
    {
        Table("Users");
        Id(x => x.ProviderUserKey).Column("UserID");
        Map(x => x.Comment).Nullable().Length(10000);
        Map(x => x.CreationDate).CustomType<UtcDateTimeType>().Not.Nullable();
        Map(x => x.Email).Not.Nullable().Length(250);
        Map(x => x.IsApproved).Default("1");
        Map(x => x.IsLockedOut).Default("0");
        Map(x => x.LastActivityDate).Nullable();
        Map(x => x.LastLockoutDate).Nullable();
        Map(x => x.LastLoginDate).Nullable();
        Map(x => x.LastPasswordChangedDate).Nullable();
        Map(x => x.PasswordQuestion).Nullable().Length(250);
        Map(x => x.ProviderName).Default("").Not.Nullable().Length(250);
        Map(x => x.UserName).Not.Nullable().Length(250);
        Map(x => x.IsEnabled).Default("1").Not.Nullable();
        Map(Reveal.Member<nhMembershipUser>("Password")).Length(260).Nullable();
        Map(Reveal.Member<nhMembershipUser>("Salt")).Length(250).Nullable();
        Map(x => x.FirstName).Length(35).Not.Nullable();
        Map(x => x.LastName).Length(35).Not.Nullable();
        Map(x => x.Application).Length(250).Not.Nullable();
        HasManyToMany(x => x.Roles).ChildKeyColumn("RoleId").ParentKeyColumn("UserId").Cascade.All().Table("UsersToRoles");

    }
}

This builds, but of course I can’t get or set the Salt or Password properties outside the class, which is bogus. I’m trying to keep my user class light and POCO-ish and build the salting and hashing functionality into my membership provider; I really don’t want the public having access but I want my provider class to. The obvious answer is to use an internal access modifier but NH barks at me when I do that without a protected modifier and that defeats the purpose.

How can I have another class in my assembly access these restricted properties and save to NHibernate? It seems like this should be easily doable.

Answer 1

public class nhMembershipUser : MembershipUser
{
    private byte[] PasswordHash;
    private string Salt;

    public void SetPassword(ICredentialsProvider provider)
    {
        PasswordHash = provider.GetHash(this);
        Salt = provider.GetSalt(this);
    }
}
