Configuration :: Setting Authorization For Images Folder Using Location Tag In Web.config Is Not Working?
Oct 28, 2010
I implemented the Location tag in the web.config file to authorize the anonymous users for Images folder. I deployed the code in IIS6.0 with Forms authentication mode enabled for the virtual directory. I disabled all other authentication modes. When I browse the login page, Images are not displaying. When I set Anonymous authentication in IIS6.0 for the Image folder, it works fine.
The url format is somewhat like: [URL] To allow users to visit the login and recovery page, I've added the following entries to my web.config:
[code]....
Is there a form of notation so that I can skip the en-GB part and replace it with a wildcard? I want the login and recovery page etc. to be available regardless of the culture.
Is it possible to have location authorization nodes in a web.config be external?
Such that I could take all of the nodes simlar to
[code]....
And move them outside of the web.config or something simlar? I find these nodes at an extreme amount of noise to a web.config when they're relatively static. Normally my approach would be to config source something like this but since it falls under the root node I'm not sure of it's possible with these nodes.
look at the attached web.config? The last part doesn't seem to work although the path is correct. I've tried logging on the site with a use which is in no groups, but it can still access the page...
i am working on an application ,i have hosted on server. everything going fine . i have added a code to set session timeout in webconfig . but its expire default time .
I have my theme for each folder set in the web.config, but on design I have no access to the css or skins for that page unless I add them in the page directive, then upon rendering in html, the page shows 2 references to the same css file.
So for design purpose do I have to reference the file, then delete the references after I finish designing the page? why does the editor not recognize the web.config and reference the proper theme?
I'm testing this on my local dev environment using Cassini and on a test web server running IIS 6. Both systems/sites work the same way and allow anyone access to any page. Both systems/sites also return correct data when programmatically checking Roles.GetRolesForUser and User.IsInRole.
We have an application that is making use of the location tag in the web.config file at the machine level - meaning like :WindowsMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0...CONFIGweb.config, the one that applies to the whole server - this application has lots of virtual directories under it and for each one there is a <location path="IIS Web App NameCustomerA">...This seems to work ok for that app. But then we have a second app on the same server, and I'd like to add location tags to that app's web.config file - meaning the local web.config file in the app's directory - and have each one of them specify a location tag in a similar way
I wanted to impose specific timeout interval and request length on some specific pages that uploads documents of size up to 50MB. Hence I did the following config changes after going through some sites.
I keep getting error when I run the application. I tried various other ways like giving the complete path like <sitename>/<applicationname>/<v.folder name>/<filename>.I tried this on both IIS 6.0 and IIS 7.0.
When running the ASP.NET Development Server, everything is working fine. However, when I deploy my asp.net application to the production server (IIS 7.0 integrated mode, fresh install), my location tags in my web.config file are being ignored.
Case in point: I'm using forms authentication, and when the user arrives at my login.aspx page, the external css & js files are not being loaded...even though I have specified that those files should be available to all users (auth'd or not). However, once the user is logged in, the files do in fact load.
I am using ASP.NET MVC 3 and am trying to do something that should be really straight forward...
My application uses Forms authentication and that is working perfectly for controllers/actions. For example if I decorate either a controller or an action with the attribute below only members of the administrators group can view them:
[Authorize(Roles="Administrators")]
However I have a folder under the default Scripts folder called Admin. I only want members of the Administrators group to be able to access scripts within this directory so I created a new web.config in the directory with the following inside:
[code]....
However no matter whether a user is a member of the Administrators group or not they receive a 302 Found message and are then redirected to the login page.
If I change the web.config to allow user="*" then it works. It also works if I add an allow users="Username" for a specific user I am testing with.
I have the following IIS folder configuration:WebSiteX - a web site contains a ASP.NET application with a web.config file WebSiteXApp - a virtual directory (App) under WebSiteX, with a different ASP.NET application and a different web.config file.What can I do to prevent the web.config file from the WebSiteX to be inherited when accesing the ASP.NET application from WebSiteXApp, in other words, when I access the WebSiteX/App ASP.NET application I want only the web.config from that application to be considered.
I'm running an Asp.NET MVC 2 app under IIS 6.All pages are behind Windows Integrated Authentication except for some pages that accepts anonymous access.We setup these pages in the web.config with the location element like this
this is an Asp.NET MVC app, the path indicated in the path attribute points to an action method not a physical location.When this was running under IIS 7 integrated mode it was working fine. But when we switched to IIS 6 we get the login prompt even with the pages that are set to accept anonymous users.ow to make IIS 6 authorize anonymous access to non physical paths ?
For some reason the Custom Errors for 404 pages are not working on my production server, but they work fine on development. Instead of going to the custom 404.aspx page, it goes to the ugly IIS 404 page.
Here is my Custom Errors protion of my web.config:
[Code]....
I changed the defaultRedirect to also go to my 404.aspx page just to make sure I was catching everything, but still it does't work. I know I could change the IIS 404 error to also point to my 404.aspx page, but that will not work for me because I need to capture the "aspxerrorpath" in the querystring for .net 404 errors. The IIS method will not give me that.
I am just hoping it is a server configuration I missed somewhere, but everything on production looks the same as on development.
I'm having a hard time figuring out how to test email sending on my localhost machine that I'm using to develop the application on. Here is my function to send the email:
[Code]....
Here is the excerpt from my web.config file:
[Code]....
Here is the error I get when trying to test the code out:
An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions 127.0.0.1:25
What could be causing this? Am I doing something wrong in my web.config file??? I know this isn't possible with Vista, but I'm running Windows 7 now.
My website is open only for authorized users, so I denied the anonymous users. but the problem is the style is corrupted because it's not allowed to anonymous users to access to the Style folder.How can I except the style folder from the Authorization ?
I am working on a scenario where I need to combine three applications into one (Project Requirement). I link the three applications on a web page and which ever link is clicked, I redirect it to that page.
My application sturcture looks as below
MainPage
- Folder1 with App1 (uses Active Directory group for authentication)
- SubPages
- Folder2 with App2 (Uses Membership roles and users)
- SubPages
- Folder3 with App3 (Uses Other logins for oracle database)
- SubPages
Is it possible to provide authorization only for my App2 based on the role created in membership.
For eg: There is user1 with role1 and user2 with role2 but i need to allow only user1 with role1.
When I was checking this scenario in the ASP.NET configuration settings to modify, it has the allow all permisions which is disabled to modify and it is given that Rules that appear dimmed are inherited from the parent and cannot be changed at this level.
I have a problem using windows authentication and the authorization-tag in web.config for my asp.net application. When I host the application in IIS (both in IIS 6 and IIS 7) the authorization-tag is ignored. When I run the application in asp.net development server that comes with visual studio 2010, it works perfect.
I want to show on one of my pages a slideshow type page. Basically I want it to show a selection of images from a folder and have the images scroll from right to left.
I have a simple photo album. I have some catories in db and corresponding folders. For example, when user creates a category called "Asp Net" in db then a folder called "AspNet" is created. Then user can upload photo and all photos are displayed as thumbnail. No photo is saved in db, they are directly saved lets say AspNet folder. I just fetch filelist from intended folder and list them. However I want user to be able to update category name or delete it. To keep consistency, corresponding folder should be updated or deleted. But when I try it throws exception: Access to the path 'xxxxx" is denied.
