Getting Security Exception With OpenWebConfiguration On Shared Host?
Oct 13, 2010
After moving my web site from my local development environment to a shared host I get:
Security Exception
Description: The application attempted to perform an operation not allowed by the security policy. To grant this application the required permission your system administrator or change the application's trust level in the configuration file.
The problem occurs in my web application everywhere the following is called:
WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration(Request.ApplicationPath)
Since my web application is only trying to open it's own web.config file, I don't know why this is flagged as a security exception. Maybe someone can explain... But more importantly I need a solution, the couple solutions I found via Google are painful.

i want to run an ASP.NET MVC 2 web application on a .NET 3.5 shared-host provider, I will not mention this provider's name. I will refer to this provider as FOO.
The general community that uses FOO states that it can be done, but the Tech Support at FOO are not consistent:
"What is MVC?" or "Yes, but only on dedicated hosts", or "Yes, it can upon both dedicated and shared hosts" -but they do not know the details.
The general community states that FOO can host ASP.NET MVC 2 on shared hosts, but details on how it is done is inconsistent.
What are general rules of thumb about setting up an ASP.NET MVC 2 for a shared-host environment?
Let us say that we create a vanilla (default) MVC 2 web application from withinVS 2008/2010. What modification should I perform, other than use .NET 3.5 andcopy local System.Web.Mvc.

What are the kind of things that would cause a session to timeout. I know the default is usually 20 minutes. A website I have set up for a friends business seems to timeout after a few minutes sometimes. I think it could be them recycling a shared application pool.

When I first published my site, I tested it using my gmail account and worked like a charm first try (a rare feat for me ;) ). Now, I'd like to finish it up by having it send the emails from the account at the host. No joy... I asked the host if I had misunderstood the rather unhelpful info in the control panel and they advised that in my web config I should change:

I have a website that I have run for years running a custom built CMS. It has had no problems ever. I decided to create a demo (temporary url) of the CMS using the exact same website. Only people I give access to would be able to login and change it, so it basically is not in use for the most part.
I tried this demo site the past few days, and I noticed that I kept getting System.OutOfMemoryException errors. I would wait for an hour or so, then it would work. Next day, same thing.
What could explain this? 2 exact same websites....one that is used all the time (no memory issues), and one that is hardly ever used (memory issues). Doesn't really make sense to me.

I have a need to generate a barcode on an ASP.NET page. I know how to do this, but the catch is I need this to work on a shared hosting environment. Being a shared host, I don't have the ability to install custom barcode fonts on the server.
Does anyone know of any barcode solutions (possibly open source) that encapsulate fonts in the bin assembly and don't require the barcode fonts to be installed on the server?

I have encountered this problem before on a few shared hosts but cant remember the fix. I have spent almost 2 days googling and I have even gone through 2 external hd's of backups of old projects and read the web.configs but I just cant put my find it and I dont think I am googling the correct terms...
I am using Mysql Connector/Net to store asp session state.
The mysql db is on the hosting server ( I have no mysql locally).
Opening a page locally creates a session in the db.
Opening a page on the host does not.
I have seen this issue before but was a long time ago and I have searched a few of the answered questions here but not too extensive, I'm sick of searching.

I have a single contact.aspx application I want to use on a web host but am confused with the publish feature in VWDE 2010. I can't run any commands or packages and was hoping just to upload the .aspx and .cs files and have jit compile to run them.
Why does VWDE 2010 create a .dll and .pdb in the bin folder of my project? I thought the Express versions of VS didn't produce DLLs? On previous editions of VWDE all I needed to do was copy the .aspx and .aspx.cs pages to the host.

I'm trying to implement a view tracking web service on my website. I'm using JavaScript because I want to exclude any search bots from my tracked views. The problem is I'm getting a "Unknown web method" error when I try to use jQuery to post to the web service I've created.
$(document).ready(function() {
$.ajax({
type: "POST", [code]...
The error is an ASP .NET error: Unknown web method TrackItemView. Parameter name: methodName.I've done this hundreds of times (seemingly), but I just can't see what I'm missing. I'm sure it's something small...

I am trying to access a shared folder which is located on a different server rather than on the asp.net server.
I configured windows authentication and set impersonation to true. Also try with enable/disable basic authentication.
I have tried the following:
with a mapped driveshared folder access (\sharedfolder)virtual directory pointing to shared folder with pass through configuration. However none of the above works. I am getting "Access Denied" error when trying with shared folder and virtual directory. In the case of mapped drive getting "Not Found" error.

My web.config contains passwords to my database and smtp and i want to tighten up the security, i want to protect the passwords fully so if a hacker or webhost employee accessed all the webserver files the passwords cannot be easily accessed
I run on a shared host so using encryption could be an issue as i havnt got full IIS access - i havnt gone down that road yet to look fully into it
I was thinking it might be easier and secure enough if i moved the connection strings & passwords from the web.config into a referenced .dll which was protected by a professional obfuscation tool

Server A exists on domain A and server B exists on domain B. From server A I need to output file names that exist on shared folder on server B. I tried the following with no success (Access denied error):
DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo(@"\serversharedFolder");
After some Googling I found that I need to use personlization to impersonate an existing user on Server B that has access to that shared folder. I used a C# personlization class as explained on codeproject (http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/cpimpersonation1.aspx). I supply the domain, the user, and the password and hope to get access to the shared folder BUT the error I see now is"Login failure: unknown user or bad password".
I am 100% sure that the domain, user, and password I supplied are correct. When trying to access the share via windows explorer from server A I am prompted for a username and password. After entering domainusername and the password I have access to the folder. So I know that the credentials I supplied are correct.
Am I going about this the right way? I have full access to server A and B so maybe there is an easier way to accomplish my goal.

i have a situation where i need to develop a web system where sys. admin can create a shared folder in server and set who can access the shared folder programmatically.
i've manage to find example to create a shared folder from here:[URL]
and i also manage to find example to add user and set folder Security setting from here:[URL]
My problem is how can i add user in the Sharing permission setting since it is a shared folder. Default sharing setting is set to 'everyone'. This mean anyone in my company can browse to the shared file unless i set everyone security setting. I want to remove "everyone" and add users based on the user that i've already add at Security setting.

I received some code, a small c# asp.net application which manually posts a shared username/pwd to a 3rd party website for auto-logins from our intranet site. During transit the password is encrypted, but not within the application. Within this application a namevaluecollection is used and the username and password are hard coded. Originally the thought was, who cares if its hard coded because its shared between everyone anyway. Now we want to encrypt the username and password from within the application. I'm not sure the best way to accomplish the goal of making sure the password is encrypted "at rest". Normally I've seen passwords stored and encrypted within a database. I know we'll obviously have to move the password out of the application and store it somewhere else, I'm just not sure where. Do we move the username and pwd to the web.config file? I really am not sure the best way to approach this.
