问题
My program below checks if the userName and the password is in the database( written in visual basic and uses Access database). The program works however, when I type in the userName or password in a different case it still works. For example, if my database has the userName as "john" and the password as "johnspassword", my program accepts the username as "JOHN" and password as "JOHNSPASSWORD".
how do i resolve this problem?
Dim con As New OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0;data source=C:\Users\jacob\Desktop\MS Office\project.mdb")
Dim cmd As OleDbCommand = New OleDbCommand("SELECT * FROM tblUsers WHERE UserID = '" & txtUserName_Field.Text & "' AND userPassword = '" & txtUserPassword_Field.Text & "' ", con)
con.Open()
Dim sdr As OleDbDataReader = cmd.ExecuteReader()
'If the record can be queried, it means passing verification, then open another form.
Dim empty =
Me.Controls.OfType(Of TextBox)().Where(Function(txt) txt.Text.Length = 0)
If empty.Any Then
MessageBox.Show(String.Format("Please fill in all the fields required"))
Else
If (sdr.Read() = True) Then
MessageBox.Show("The is valid!")
Form4.Show()
Me.Hide()
Else
MessageBox.Show("Invalid name or password!")
End If
End If
con.Close()
End Sub

If you use a hash of the password instead then you solve two problems you have:
- You should not store passwords as plain text
- A hash will make the password case-sensitive
The Rfc2898DeriveBytes Class is suitable for creating the hash; you'll need a randomly-generated salt stored in the database for each user too.
There are many sites, e.g., Salted Password Hashing - Doing it Right, with explanations of why salting and hashing are desirable.
You will still have to decide if you need the username to be case-sensitive.
EDIT
It appears that Access doesn't have an efficient (i.e. sargable) way to do a case-sensitive comparison, so you can simply get the username from the database and check it in your program, something like this:
Option Infer On
Option Strict On
Imports System.Data.OleDb
Imports System.Security.Cryptography
Public Class SomeClass
'TODO: decide on the sizes for the salt and hash
'TODO: create binary fields in the database of appropriate sizes
'TODO: consider storing the number of iterations in the database
Const SALTLENGTH As Integer = 8
Const HASHLENGTH As Integer = 16
Const PBKDF2ITERATIONS As Integer = 20000
Friend Function PBKDF2Hash(password As String, salt As Byte(), iterations As Integer, hashSize As Integer) As Byte()
Dim hasher As New Rfc2898DeriveBytes(password, salt, iterations)
Return hasher.GetBytes(hashSize)
End Function
Function IsLoginValid(username As String, password As String) As Boolean
Dim salt(SALTLENGTH - 1) As Byte
Dim hashedPassword(HASHLENGTH - 1) As Byte
Dim usernameIsValid = False
Dim csb As New OleDbConnectionStringBuilder With {
.Provider = "Microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0",
.DataSource = "C:\Users\jacob\Desktop\MS Office\project.mdb"
}
Using conn As New OleDbConnection(csb.ConnectionString)
'TODO: use the actual column names
Using cmd As New OleDbCommand("SELECT UserID, salt, password FROM tblUsers WHERE UserID = ?", conn)
'TODO: use type of column as specified in the database
cmd.Parameters.Add(New OleDbParameter With {.OleDbType = OleDbType.VarWChar, .Value = username})
conn.Open()
Dim rdr = cmd.ExecuteReader()
If rdr.HasRows Then
rdr.Read()
If String.Compare(rdr.GetString(0), username, StringComparison.Ordinal) = 0 Then
rdr.GetBytes(1, 0, salt, 0, SALTLENGTH)
rdr.GetBytes(2, 0, hashedPassword, 0, HASHLENGTH)
usernameIsValid = True
End If
End If
conn.Close()
End Using
End Using
Dim expectedHash = PBKDF2Hash(password, salt, PBKDF2ITERATIONS, HASHLENGTH)
If usernameIsValid AndAlso hashedPassword.SequenceEqual(expectedHash) Then
Return True
End If
Return False
End Function
Private Sub bnLogin_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles bnLogin.Click
Dim username = txtUserName_Field.Text
Dim password = txtUserPassword_Field.Text
If username.Length = 0 OrElse password.Length = 0 Then
MessageBox.Show("Please fill in all the fields required.")
Exit Sub
End If
If IsLoginValid(username, password) Then
' user has supplied valid credentials
Else
MessageBox.Show("Invalid username or password.")
End If
End Sub
End Class
Of course, you still have to create the code to put the appropriate data in the database when the user is registered.
