Error Message: Cannot access a disposed context instance. A common cause of this error is disposing a context instance that was resolved from dependency injection and then later trying to use the same context instance elsewhere in your application. This may occur if you are calling 'Dispose' on the context instance, or wrapping it in a using statement. If you are using dependency injection, you should let the dependency injection container take care of disposing context instances. Object name: 'SqlDatabaseContext'.

If more changes are made and another save is made, all the changes from the first attempt are re-attempted.

If no email for a user exists, populate from AD if available.

Describe the bug
The configured session cookie timeout is not applied after login, until a refresh is made.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Login
2. Navigate without page refreshes
3. Wait 60 seconds for default timeout to expire
4. Navigate or refresh and get redirected back to login

Expected behavior
Have the proper timeout after login without user interaction.

Describe the bug
The default deny all access level has nothing in it.

Environment (please complete the following information):

• Blazam Version
• Running under IIS/Service
  Both

Hi @jacobsen9026

I see that the error output shows that some part of this code is fixed however, a new error output is being thrown for the same ApplicationNewsService.cs, image attached:

Something terrible has happened...

Need to fully test

Not sure if this extends all the way to Dev branch, but on Nightly 0.8.9 stable 0.8.9. was not being updated to, it was reapplying the nightly, the branch setting was also nightly.

Describe the bug
Title

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to a group
2. Remove a user
3. Click discard changes
4. User is not restored

Expected behavior
User is restored

For Nightly 0.8.8.2024.02.11.2203 after logging in the dashboard widgets are not loaded. After navigating or refreshing they are loaded.

Will add more later

Hi,
i have installed it manually.
On the first try to open the install-process starts and after creating the database it stops. Step 2 doesn's start...

What could be the issue?

I'm running it on a Windows Server 2022 / IIS/ Database is on an external NAS

Any idea???

A recent change to password changes has caused a long ~10 second delay when changing

The Assign button in the bottom right should take the behavior of the "Add" button and then remove the Add button...

Hi again @jacobsen9026

We have used the latest release version: 0.9.1.2024.04.13.2119 running as a service.

We encountered a bug while creating a user(custom method), using a non-superuser account in Blazam.
Please note that the feature works very well with super-user blazam accounts.
Null pointer exception occurs after clicking the "next" button as shown in the attached snippets.

Error output video here

The Blazor application encounters an error "BLAZAMSession : System.NullReferenceException"

"Error Message: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Stack Trace:
at BLAZAM.Session.ApplicationNewsService.<>c__DisplayClass12_0.b__0(NewsItem x) in D:\a\BLAZAM\BLAZAM\BLAZAMSession\ApplicationNewsService.cs:line 62"

I am running the Blazam App using IIS with all the .Net dependencies installed and using a MySQL database, we have configured the active directory and finalized the installation. After the installation the page results in the same error mentioned earlier "BLAZAMSession : System.NullReferenceException"

The Blazor WebAssembly application should not throw an exception related to the "applications news service" not able to be handled.

Within the IIS authentication configuration, it is set to allow Anonymous Authentication and the .Net Authorization is set to Allow All Users.

For additional troubleshooting: Within the Blazam application directory the IIS_IUSRS and IUSR have been granted full control of the Blazam root directory.

ApplicationPool is set to AlwayRunning and have Set IIS Site to Preload true

Hi @jacobsen9026 definitely we would like to have blazam for an AD delegation for non IT members. Sharing the use case below:

Use Case 1:
The tasks we are currently doing in AD on daily basis:
Creating users, Enabling/Disabling users, Resetting passwords, Assigning/Unassigning users to groups, Mapping computers to users.
All these tasks are being done by a couple of people(lets call this group: helpdesk) and they do these taassks by accessing AD.

In order to make sure that AD data is not modified unintentionally by helpdesk, we need to stop anyone from accessing Active directory directly (except a couple of admins).

Blazam can help in this case where we need to provide these group of people a non-superuser access through Blazam and the above mentioned administrative tasks can be performed through Blazam. But currently due to a bug in Blazam, helpdesk members are not able to perform these tasks (but a blazam super user can perform just fine)

Use case 2:
We have different departments in our organization which are represented by different OUs in AD.
We want to delegate these administrative tasks to the respective departments.
In order for that to happen, we need a couple of persons from each OU/department(lets call these couple of people: dept_spoc group) to be given a non-superuser access to Blazam. Effectively, there will be 1 dept spoc group in each departmet/OU.
And they can login to Blazam and perform these tasks for members of their own departments.

The important thing here is that they should not be able to perform these actions on any OU/department, other than their own.

For this we need to set access permissions for each dept_spoc group in such a way that this group can not modify any property outside their own department/OU.
(Right now it is not possible in Blazam).

Nuff said

Describe the bug
When setting display name, at least in custom user creation, the value is cleared on the fields step

Recent update to category dropdown, now can not edit to custom value for new category

Installation wizard has many bugs, requires refreshes and server restarts to get through

The button does not change to disabled after saving changes.

The OU privilege mapper cannot be edited.

We are running the Blazam App as a service on Blazam version: 0.9.0.2024.03.30.1856

When accessing Blazam Configure->Permissions->Mappings->OU Privilege Mapper, we've encountered an issue where the checkbox for providing mappings to delegates doesn't become selected, preventing us from saving new mappings. This problem persists in the demo website, as illustrated in the attached .GIF

This issue was not there in the earlier releases.

OS: Windows Server 2022
Browser: Google Chrome
Version: 123.0.6312.105

Describe the solution you'd like
Add all, or a selection, of the shared printers on a print server into Active Directory.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Create one at a time....

Describe the bug
When renaming the display name of a directory entry, the check for duplicate warning always happens, and it prevents changing, it should only prevent saving.

Supplied bad credentials for their AD connection, I don't need remote logging of bad credentials....
