Configuration :: Encrypting ConnectionStrings On A Hosted Website?
Feb 23, 2011
I have been reading up on encrypting the connectionStrings section of the web.config file and I have noticed that all of the methods embed the cypher key in either the registry or the machine.config file. My site is currently being hosted for me by a hosting company and as such I do not have direct access to the registry (or aspnet_regiis for that matter). I was wondering what options are available to me if I cannot use the usual aspnet_regiis method or am I misreading the posts?

How do I use aspnet_regiis to encrypt <connectionStrings> on a website that is hosted remotely? I guessing I need to use a machine-level container? I was able to do it locally with a user level container using this command:
aspnet_regiis -pef "connectionStrings" C:mysite -prov "DataProtectionConfigurationProvider"
but now I need to encrypt parts of the web.config in my real site hosted remotely and don't know how to do it I've created a custom RSA key and exported it to an xml file (is that the right way to do it?) but how do I use it in the web.config file?

Any section in my web.config file that I want to encrypt I run this command line util:
aspnet_regiis -pe "anySection" -app "/SampleApplication"
It all works just fine until I try encrypt my connectionStrings sections
I define (and I cannot change this) my connectionStrings section like this:
[code]....
Is there a way of doing this using the aspnet_regiis util? Doing it with code is not an option for me.
Also is there a way to run this untility without specifing the application (-app "/SampleApplication") instead giving the path to the web.config file?

i have created a website with a template (CSS Full Site Flash 8) using VS 2010
and after i did host the site to the internet, ASP code didn't work
but HTML code works fine, for example this code for desplaying picture didn't work and the picture is not displaying:
<asp:Image ID="Image1" runat="server" ImageUrl="~/images/photo1.jpg" />
i don't know if it is from the web.config or if i missed something also i notes that the site in is not working in firefox browser (HTML code will appear instead of design) but in internet explorer the design works fine but without the asp controls

2. I have not compile the solution just copy and paste on the iis and create virtual directory?

I have a strange problem that I am trying to find a solution to or even only know why does this happen. I built a website using ASP.NET, when I run the website locally it looks very normal (I am speaking Style and CSS wise) on all the browsers (including IE8). And when I deploy this website to the test server which has Windows Server 2003 and IIS 6, the applications looks normal too on all the browsers except IE8. I did not try other versions of IE but I have a requirement to have this website working on IE8. Some tweaking on the CSS solves some of the problems but I do not want to go through each and every tiny detail and rework my whole CSS. There are even some problem which cannot be resolved.I have no clue why is this happening. It should be something either with the OS or the application server because those are the only differences between my machine and the server. On my machine I have Windows 7 Enterprise and I was test the website on the ASP.NET development server.

Is it worth while considering a CDN for a UK hosted site with mostly UK traffic.
The server is in London, so I am not sure if it would be worth it as I guess any CDN server is just going to be in London as well?
Am I right in thinking that CDN is really only applicable for US websites (due to the geographical size of the country) and global sites?

I use visual studio 2008 login controls to build up a login web page and have a hosting MS SQL with godaddy. After the login page is finished, I went to server explorer to publish DB to provider and save it in .sql. Then I went to godaddy hosting and executed the exported query. I also added the following connectionstrings to the web.config
<connectionStrings>
<remove
name="LocalSqlServer"/> [code]....
When I run the website, I received the following error
Configuration Error
Description:An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.
Parser Error Message: It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level. This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS.
Source Error:

Question 1: I have also copied membership,profile,rolemanager from .NETconfigmachine.config to web.config but it didn't solve the error.Question 2: Can I use this built in control with its express DB or I have to create one by my own? What should I do in web.config for connectionstrings?

I have a custom section in a web application that I am having trouble encrypting. I have written an external .NET program that will encrypt both .NET 1.1 & .NET 2.0 web/app configs.Up until this point in time, I have never had to encrypt any custom sections for either type of application. Anyway, the way I set it up for my web application is I wrote a class library that I import into the web application which allows me to set up and read from the custom section in the web.config. That all works fine... I added the custom section, and the web pages are able to read the values fine.

When I try to encrypt the "connectionStrings" section in the web.config file of my asp.net web application on Windows Server 2008, I'm getting the following error:
Administration utility (2.0.50727) to install and uninstall ASP.NET on the local machine. Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. Note: This utility has limited capabilities on the Windows Vista operating system. It is recommended that you use the "Turn on or off Windows features" option of the "Programs" component of Control Panel to install or remove ASP.NET. It is also recommended that you use the IIS Manager component or the Appcmd.exe tool to configure ASP.NET applications.
The above information is followed by the list of valid options to aspnet_regiis.exe.
The command that I've used is:
aspnet_regiis.exe -pef "connectionStrings" "C:Usersuser1DocumentsMywebsite" -prov "DataProtectionConfigurationProvider"
But, the same command is working fine when used on a Windows Server 2003 machine. The problem is occurring only on Windows Server 2008 with IIS7.

I have this error: The configuration section 'connectionStrings' cannot be read because it is missing a section declaration on my site when loading this page [URL]. The rest of the site works [URL] Setup:The server is a hosting company - Mocha Hosting. [URL] contains a phpbb forum. This has been installed via the hosting company's web tool (Plesk). There is a root web.config, but there isn't in the /forum/ folder. The forum folder has been set by the phpbb installation wizard to be a virtual directory and application - and it appears to not have asp.net configured on it. The forum worked BEFORE uploading the root web.config file, and again if i temporarily remove the root web.config.

I have a website that my company hosted using hubspot.. now the guy who made it is gone..
Currently all the code is in the front end which i think was made by using the CMS tool of hubspot.
What i need to do is add another page to this website which has my code and also has a backend code in it.
how do i proceed.. i am currently working with asp.net and C#...
which language i should chose to do the backend coding.. the code i plan to write is not that complex.. i just need to get a value for the user using a textbox, multiply with a number and display/email it back.

I am currently creating a .NET based (website/system) solution for small IT companies and I am offering it in a self-hosted package, which means my clients are going to mainly install it on their own servers. How do I make sure my system is not being run except on one server per client and no body is illegally-copying it to other servers/machines?

I have a WCF service that runs in my web application that provides data to a Silverlight application and is defined as follows (with an appropriate .svc file)....
[ServiceContract(Namespace = "")]
[AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(RequirementsMode = AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Allowed)]
public class DispatchService [code]...
The idea is that the user logs into the website and is then authorised for all services. I do not want to have a login aspect to my Silverlight application to authenticate users.Therefore I dont want anyone to be able to call my service who is not authenticated.
Could I...Somehow determine this for each Operation Contract. I had a look inside the OperationContext object but couldnt find anthing that stood out as a way to determine who the user was.Somehow attribute the ServiceContract so that the method can only be used by authorised users?Put something in my web.config to stop unathorised users from being able to access the folder containing the services?

But I have other tests that are essentially deployment tests (you can't test how the production deployment went using a unit test on a build server) and I'd like to use the nUnit framework to run these.But, the production server doesn't have the nUnit command line executer. I'm only allowed to run aspx pages and reference .dll's in bin.What do I need to do to run tests (yeah, yeah, they're not really unit tests--relax) using nUnit in a webpage? Is there a straight forward way to do this, or does this essentially require porting the nUnit winforms test runner to ASP.NET?
