Configuration :: MVC 2 On IIS 7.5 Forms Authentication - Can't Find LogOn Page?
Aug 30, 2010
I've got an MVC 2 app that works fine when launching from VS 2010. However, when I deploy (using File System on the server in the same box) and attempt to run I get the error shown below. The wierd thing is that the Physical path shows: C:inetpubwwwrootWorksheetsSiteWorksheetsAccountLogOn which leaves out the "View" folder in the path.
I have a project which uses VS 2005 and .NET framework 2.0. I saved my project and did not change any codes. Before this Monday, my project worked as normal, after I enter user name and password on log on page, it would go to start page. (The log on page is called from another project that is located on my local machine.) Cause firewall issues happend on the Monday, I reinstalled .NET framework 2.0 to get debugging worked.
Now, my project can run like usual, but after I log on, the web page will direct to start page and redirect to log on page dymatically. I am sure the codes behind start page will never redirect browser to log on page and I didn't not change any codes. The redirect code in Global.aspx is : Response.Redirect [URL]
Now my user wants the capability of being able to login to the intranet site as another user. For example, IT guy needs to login on a user's system to set some data.
I have created a standard MS Login Page. However when I try to login on the page I get the message
Your login attempt was not successful. Please try again
I do not have a database (aspnetdb.mdf) storing user information but login against the active directory. Can you use the login form with windows authentication without a database?
<forms name="appNameAuth" path="/" loginUrl="~/login.html" defaultUrl="index.html" </forms> Server Error in '/' Application.
Access is denied. Description: An error occurred while accessing the resources required to serve this request. The server may not be configured for access to the requested URL. Error message 401.2.: Unauthorized: Logon failed due to server configuration. Verify that you have permission to view this directory or page based on the credentials you supplied and the authentication methods enabled on the Web server. Contact the Web server's administrator for additional assistance.
I am trying to force to show to the Logon popup when the session is timeout in Integrated Windows Authentication Enabled website. The session_timeout is firing during the session timeout, but the User.Identity.IsAuthenticated is true. How force to use the Windows Logon Screen when the session is timeout.
I am using Integrated Windows authentication and Role based authorization.The web.config file has two Active Directory groups.Sample code of web.config file for Role based authorization (Actually I got this sample code from a moderator of this site Gary works well).
So user's who doesn't belog to "Group1" AD group, should get Unauthorized error. It works exactly like that. But, before getting unauthorized error, it shows a pop up screen (as shown in the attached picture) prompting to put userid and password. If a user in AD group "Group1" accesses "Blood group. aspx" page, popup message doesn't come which is correct. Following is the code in web.config file to handle errors:
Code: The <customErrors> section enables configuration of what to do if/when an unhandled error occurs during the execution of a request. Specifically, it enables developers to configure html error pages to be displayed in place of a error stack trace. -->
Question 1: why does the popup box prompting user id and password comes up? Question 2: I have put in web.config file in customErrors tag to direct to Errors.apsx page when I get 401.2, it should be redirected to Errors.aspx page. But it is not getting re-directed.
I'm developing an intranet site in asp.net 3.5 using linq to sql. When I run the site on my development system, it works great. I moved the site and SQL Server database to my CLient's Server for testing.
When I execute the following vb.net code
Dim linq1 = From PageGroup In dbs1.ZZ_PageGroups Where (PageGroup.PageName = pasPageName)
For Each PG In linq1
I get the above error message. I suspect the problem may be authenticating the user in SQL Server. When using Linq to SQL, how/where is the connection string set and how does it know the user?
I have set up a web Application using IIS 7 .Following details:-
Database server is sql server 2008 r2 and located on another machine
I am using forms authentication and while trying to logon using my start page where i am validating the user from database. This error is coming while login
Ok so I've created a login page that accesses my Active Directory and challenges against it. What I would like, is if a user is logged onto the computer within the intranet with Active Directory Credentials for them to bypass the login to the web page.
However if they are outside of the building on a random computer, they should be presented with a login box just like they are now.
When you you the ASP.NET Configuration to set up Forms Authentication (e.g. Users, roles, etc), where is that data stored? Feel kind of silly not knowing that, but 99.9% of the stuff I do is internal so I've always used Windows Authentication.
We just replaced our network server. The new server uses CIFS (I am not a server person so I know very little about this). Accessing the virtual directory on the old server, I could access information using static links, asp and aspx.Trying to access information on the new virtual directory, none of my dynamic links work. I can create a static link to a specific file with no problem. My asp pages return "Path not found" and the aspx pages give me the "Logon Failure: Bad username or password.
I just setup an out of the box "W2K8 R2 Web" server and installed IIS 7 out of the box. Then I installed the .NET4 framework and ran "aspnet_regiis -i" command.
I created a site using .NET 4.0 Integrated app pool.
I created an MVC application using the default MVC project template, without modifying I compiled the project and deploy the files using (Publish) to the virtual directory.
I can pull the site up, but the styles are missing from the page and for some reason it routing to the /Account/LogOn?ReturnUrl=/
This causes even the authenticated users but unauthorized resource requested users to redirect to logon page. but i need only to redirect this page if user try to access unauthorized page and not already authenticated(logged on) and redirect to custom page.
Is there easy way to do this without writing custom action filter?
The webapp I am trying to deploy will have the IIS running on the same server as database.I have been assigned a domain account and have been asked to connect to the database using this account.I am not sure how to go about making the connection. I cannot enable impersonation as I need to mention the username and password and it will be security concern, also I need to give write permission onC:WINNTMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727Temporary ASP.NET Files (which is not allowed)The Webserver and SQL server runs with system account.Can you please let me know how to establish connectivity to the server using the domain account without mentioning the password anywhere.
Why do I get a different address from the one defined in web.config?
UPDATE: The "/VNK/site/" prefix is not a problem here. The problem is that LoginUrl property of FormsAuthentication class does not reflect the value from web.config. It means that if I change in web.config loginUrl from "~/Account/LogOn" for example to "~/foobar", FormsAuthentication.LoginUrl still has value of "/VNK/site/Account/Login". Why ?
I am trying to get the .NET Framework Configuration Tool installed on my server. I am running windows server 2008 with .NET 3.5 SP1 and Visual Studio 2008.
I have dowloaded and installed the lastest version of the Windows SDK but the .NET Framework Configuration Tool is still not installed.
I searched the drive on the server for the mscorcfg.msc file and it is not there but the mscorcfg.dll is there.
After the installation of Windows SDK the program manager now shows the Windows SDK v7.1 option with a group of programs under it, but none are the .NET Framework Configuration tool.
Does anyone know how I can get the .NET Framework Configuration tool installed?
In my MVC application I am using windows authentication. In my controller i need to find out what group the user is, and also possibly what the user name is. How can one do this?
I am having difficulty getting an asp.net web application to run on a new server. This same app has been deployed to at least a dozen other servers without issue. The x-factor seems to be that Sharepoint Services (WSS 2.0) is present on the new machine.
The app is configured to use Forms Authentication with a redirect to a specified login page, the first symptom is that no attempt is apparently made to redirect new requests, requests proceed directly and then error out when that page attempts to look at the HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name.
Second, when navigating directly to the Login.aspx page, the login and authentication check appear to proceed normally, but again HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name is blank where is should now have the users login name, and an application error occurs. I have confirmed that the same code on other servers behaves as expected (the Name is set at this point). IIS virtual directory settings are identical as well.
It would seem that something is interfereing with the normal Forms Authentication processes and that something appears to be Sharepoint. We have already listed the web app's path as excluded in the Sharepoint Admin section. Is there something else that needs to be done?
I have "published" my web application to our server which is running Windows Server 2008 and IIS 7. The app has a web.config file in it's root directory but, since I used the ASP.NET Configuration tool to set access permissions to subdirectories in my site, there are also web.config files in those subdirectories. They were created by the ASP.NET Configuration tool, and their contents are simple:
[Code]....
Now, when I try to view my app/site, I recieve the following error: 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. In the Source Error: section, the following line of my ROOT web.config file (not on of the little ones located in the subdirectories) is highlighted in red. "<authentication mode="Forms">"
Everything I have been able to find regarding this error says that one cause might be that web.config files are located in the subdirectories of my application but, the error is pointing to the web.config file in my root directory. IIS7 functions differently from previos versions, regarding web application creation. But, I think I have managed to get that set up correctly. (there is an application listed with the name of my site, and it has been assigned to the app pool that I created so, I think that is all correct). So, I think my web site IS set up as an application.
Recently, I developed an Intranet web app. I implemented windows authentication to capture user details, its working fine when I am browsing on my local machine, But its prompting for usesrID/Pswd for multiple times while browsing on other machines.
configurations (If any) to be done in IIS to implement this even without single login prompt.
my ASP.NET app works fine on my development PC, but when I deploy it on the server, the Forms Authentication won't work. The page is being redirected to the "login.aspx" page, but when I enter a valid username/password and hit the login button, it also goes to the login.aspx page (with no errors and no throw, it keeps like this forever).
I am using the default ASP.NET Membership provider, I have setup the hosting server to be exactly as my PC, so both have same settings of IIS, ASP.NET 4.0 Global Configuration (in IIS), and SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
I searched for this problem in google and tried several suugestion (like removing the clear() in web.config, manually add the membership/role provider in web.config, change security in the physical folders, etc...) but with no luck.Below is my web.config (which is working fine in my development PC): [Code]....
