Custom code on user login

Question

Hi,

Is there any mechanism in SharePoint 2013 that I can utilize to launch a piece of custom code (an initialization logic in our database) when a user logs in to SharePoint?

Thanks,

Leszek

Hi,

Its very much possible all you need is to configure the Form Based Authentication on your web application.

Please check this link

FBA & Windows mixed mode

on btnLogin_Click method write your own logic.

Hi Leszek,

From your description, my understanding is that you want to trigger your custom logic when user login in.

Besides Murugesa Pandian’s method to configure Form Based  Authentication, you could customize a login in page, and then trigger your custom logic.

In addition, you could use httpmodule to monitor user login as code below:

void context_PreRequestHandlerExecute(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

                HttpApplication app = sender as HttpApplication; 

                if (app != null)

                {

                                Page page = app.Context.CurrentHandler as Page; 

                                if (page != null)

                                {

                                                if (HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.AbsoluteUri.Contains("spcial a url"))

                                                {

                                                                // write your custom logic here

                                                }

                                }

                }

}

You could refer to this article about how to use httpmodule in SharePoint:
