To Deploy And Secure .NET Web App To Be Available To Internal And Outside Users?
May 21, 2010
My company has several web applications written in ASP.NET. We need to make these applications available to Intranet users as well as authenticated external users. Most of the features are the same for the two groups, though there are some extra features available to the Internal users. The two different sets of users would use a slightly different security setup... our internal people will be authenticated using LDAP against Exchange, whereas the external users will have accounts in SQL Server.
What is the best approach for deploying our web apps? Should we deploy 2 copies to different servers, one configured for an Intranet and one for outside users? Or is there a better way to share the code between the 2 servers, yet have the flexibility to use different web.config settings for security??

I am a newbie. First time, I am going to deploy the web application to a host? Few questions, do you know any free asp.net hosting with FTP capability? Secondly, how do I ensure the data-base is secure, so that the hosting site cannot access the database or open without a password?

I am developing 2 Applications. One WebForms and the other is MVC. How can i secure the code such that when i deploy them to the clients production environment, they cannot be simply picked up, copied and repackaged by someone else?. I simply need a way to protect my intellectual property. Can this be done in Visual Studio 2010?

ive seen the solution for wcf services here [URL] but im not sure if this is also applicable for ria services

I have a asp.net (3.5) web-app that will be used in an intranet. I need to enforce that users type in their network credentials (windows credentials) before they can log into this application. I intentionally need to disallow Integrated Windows Authentication. I need to authenticate these users against my company's Active Directory, that is obviously on the same network as my .net web app.
I have been reading a bit about Forms Authentication using ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider - [URL]. I also stumbled upon this - [URL]. Based on what I can tell, both seem to do what I need to get done. Could somebody tell me what are the major differences, pros/cons and when you would use which method? Or are these exactly identical, and both achieve the exact same results?
From the security perspective...what do I need to watch for? I am assuming if I use SSL that will cover me for when I pass the username/pwd to AD for verification?

I'd like to use the ASP.NET membership provider in the following (low-security) scenario...
My company will create and administer user accounts on behalf of our clients. These accounts will likely be shared amongst several people in the client company (is that a problem?).
There will be 2 types of users (2 roles): client and administrator. Administrators are the people within my company that will have special privileges to create client user accounts, etc.
Clients will not be able to self-register. They also won't get to choose their own password, and they should not be able to change their password either, since that will just create confusion where several people are sharing the same account.
My internal users (admins) will set the password for each client. Here's the bit I'm struggling with: if a client phones up and asks to be reminded of their password, how can my admin users find out what the password is? Can I configure the provider to store the password in clear text (or other recoverable form), and if so can I get at the password through the .NET API?
As I said at the outset, this is a low-security application, and so I plan simply to show the password in the (internal) web page where I have a list of all users.

Need to develop a Web application that will be used to authenticate and authorize internal and external users to log and then re-route to web applications for the organization. The login application should be able to provider smooth integration with any future applications that needs a secured authentication. Should I be using WIF - Claims based Identity/ADFS or asp.net Role membership provider to develop this app.?

I'm trying to find the best server architecture solution to deploy monthly updates to an Asp.net external public facing website. What I'm looking for are ways to release a new version of a website with minimal impact to users. Besides deploying the standard way (ie. stop IIS, copy new website over existing website, start IIS), what are some "better" solutions for deployment out there? It would be nice if they kept their session and didn't have to see a "Website under maintenance" message during the update. My server configuration
We have 2 IIS web servers (2003) and are trying to figure out the best way to utilize them for deployments. My first thought was to update the non-active web server with the latest release. Then to gracefully point the web traffic to that server with minimal impact to users (best case, the user doesn't lose his session). How would you go about "repointing" the web traffic from server 1 to server 2? Changing firewall NAT? Changing DNS records? Some other way?? We need to be able to test the live site immediately after we release the new changes (duh). BTW, we are using nant and cruise control to automate the builds, and a custom web service to deploy the build to production. So it's all automated with the click of a button. Could a better solution be achieved using a 3rd server? If so how?

I have 2 sites, one the main product site the other a secure site featuring the basket and checkout processes.
When a user clicks "add item to basket" I am creating a basket in a database and then adding the items to the basket. The theory was then to store the id from the database for the basket (the basketid) in a cookie, redirect the user to secure site, use the basket id from the cookie and display the contents in the basket.
However I am having trouble getting the secure site to use the same cookie. When I redirect the users to the secure site, the basket appears empty. I need to go back to the main site and then back to secure before the cookie appears.
Here is the code for the cookie
[Code]....
And then on the secure site this is how it gets the basket ID from the cookie
[Code]....
But like I say it's having problems. I've tried replacing the cookies with session variables as well but it didn't work.

My web application will be launched through existing thick client applications. When launched, an HTTP POST request will be generated including information like the userID and additional context information (basically stuff like the target user's name, birthday, etc.).
My plan for authentication is for there to be a look-up table in the database. If the username is already there, automatically login the user, but if there is no entry in the database, redirect the user to an initial login page which will be used to create that database entry.
My question is how to secure this against MITM and other security holes. How can the request generated through the thick client be on an SSL connection? Doesn't an SSL connection have to be authenticated with the username (and password) first? And if so, will the additional context information be publicly exposed until the user is logged in?

I have a browser compatibilty problem with https? I have SSL installed and is in usage. Until today morning, my https part is working well. From then, Https is shown as https(with slashed in red color) saying the page has some insecure content. I have not changed any code and suddenly i see this problem in chrome. In IE 8, i see the same problem but on every page, it shows me a popup if i should allow to opne secure and non secure or just secure. Firefox has no issues . It shows correct https without any problem. I am fed up with it searching all over. Why is this happenening for me in Chrome and IE 8.

I have a custom mini login user control that I have embedded in the top of my website which shows on every page. These pages are non-secure HTTP://. I would like to avoid having to redirect the user to a HTTPS page to perform the login but I definitely don't want to send login credentials to the server in plain text.
I am trying find a method to send the user's login credentials encrypted via https from a non-secure (http) page.
I tried to set the postbackurl for the login button to itself but in https, but the user's input is not retained and the buttonLogin_click is not fired when I set the button postbackurl property. My ASP.net web application is VB.Net framework 4.0
I am assuming this can be done because I see lots of websites where login fields are on available on every page and they are running http and I can believe they are not encrypting the login credentials.

I have a GUI when i log in i create a cookie and it encrypt it. I am usin SSL.
I check in the Login.aspx page if the cookie is secure, which it is. but then before going to the default page it goes to the Global.ascx page.
Here in the Application_AuthenticateRequest it gets the cookie and decrypts it for the default page..
Now i know that it is getting the same cookie as all the other attributes match the one that was created in the Login.aspx page excet that the secure value is "False".
this is the case for all other pages after default. the value of the cookie.secure is false.
why is this happening as i want all the pages to be secure by SSL.
Also the pages are opening as https not http.
here is my web.config
[code]....

I'm working on a legacy web application - frames and a mixture of html, asp and aspx. The entire site is https. For some strange reason when I hit a specific page I get the magic message that says the Page contains both secure and nonsecure items. (IE obviously doesn't want to tell me what those resources are) I have checked the page that's being loaded and there are absolutely no http://... links - everything is relative links.
I have fired up fiddler and checked what's being requested - everything looks fine. I am completely at wit's end here. I have absolutely no idea why I'm getting this message, but it's completely screwing with the site.

I have an asp.net web app that uses forms-based authentication, a SqlMembershipProvider (using an encrypted password format), and a SqlRoleProvider. I need to know if it's possible to administer the users (create new users, assign them to roles, etc.) from a windows application - the powers that be don't want any administrative functionality in the web app itself.
Here is the membership provider definition from web.config:
[code]....
So, obviously, I have a Sql Server database that contains the users and roles for the web app. I'd like to create a separate windows app that references the web app assembly, and use the configured MembershipProvider, RoleProvider, and machineKey to create users, assign users to roles, etc. If that's not possible, I can duplicate the configuration settings from web.config within the windows app. But I don't know how to do this either.

I need to stop users users using the browser back button and potentially submitting an old version of a form.
I'm storing a guid in a session variable and also writing the value to a hidden form field and then checking the session value against the hidden field value if a user does try to navigate back and submit an old form.
If the form is submitted and the user wants to complete a new copy of the form then a new guid is generated both to the session and to the hidden form field. Now, if the user decides to hit the back button a few times to get the old form and tries to submit it again, the page checks the current guid in session against the guid stored in the form field and it finds a mismatch and prevents the form being submitted.
This works as expected in Chrome and Firefox, but in IE6, when the user hits the back button to view the old form, the new guid value appears in the hidden field of the old form! This means the user can submit the old form again, which we definitely do not want.

Code:
public static void Test()
{
try
{
OpenConnectionToDatabase(); //Opens a connection to Oracle DB
} catch(Exception e)
{
e.Data.Add("Query:", command.CommandText);
throw e;
}
}
When this code is executed when the Database server is being shutdown and the communication is disrupted, .NET throws the following error: Item has already been added. Key in dictionary: 'Query:' Key being added: 'Query:' at System.Collections.ListDictionaryInternal.Add(Object key, Object value) How can this be?
