View 7 RepliesI am neither a server administrator nor very knowledgable about how to configure IIS, so I have the following problem:
My client hosts their public website from their own internal server running Server 2003 with IIS 6. The current website is a .NET 1.1 application configured as a website in IIS. Within this site a separate virtual directory configured as an application runs a separate .NET 1.1 app that serves as their online webstore.
I've been tasked with upgrading the website (not the webstore) to .NET 4 and getting it installed and working on their server. My initial plan was to simply change the existing websites home directory to the new home directory from the IIS admin console and be done, but then I read that this would break the application directory that hosts their online store because .NET 1.1 applications cannot be nested within .NET 4 applications. Can anyone confirm this?
VWD 2008 Express. IIS 6.0. Forms Authentication.My web site uses forms authentication (in case that makes a difference).

I've been asked to implement the French translation of an ASP.NET 3.5 website. Each translation is going into its own separate website Unfortunately the previous programmer did not implement localization, so each site will have its separate set of files - this is not negotiable.
This French version will also go into its own website (www.mysite.ca), but for the moment I have been asked to put it into a sub-directory of the current site, called /CA I do not want to start messing around with file paths (for navigation and images), because the plan is to move the files in this sub-directory into a separate location in a few weeks. So the only alternative seems to be to move a copy of the site into the sub-directory and set it up as a separate application.What is the best way to set this up? Since the files in both sites belong to the same namespace and have the same names, how to avoid naming conflicts?
An abstract high level idea of where to begin as I am totally clueless at this point.
Background:
I am setting up an intranet site (ASP .NET) where users from our local user group (who are also added in our user table) will have access to web applications they are given access to. Right now I am developing from my PC and using SQL Server 2005 Express as the database, but the final site will be hosted on an application server with IIS 6.0 and the database on an instance of SQL Server 2005. I am a .NET newbie and it's a daunting task, but the experience is worth a million dollars.
Details:
We are using Windows Athentication for our intranet site. Therefore I am not using ASP .NET's membership data sources. Rather all the user information will be stored in two tables tblEmployee (all employees in my company) and tblUser (all users of the intranet site).
tblEmployee has fields - EmployeeID, FirstName, LastName, CostCentre, Role, ManagerName, UserID
tblUser has fields - EmoployeeID, UserID, ApplicationID, AccessLevel, AddedBy, DateAdded
(I have set up these tables and I can change them any time).
What I need to accomplish - When an user goes to the intranet site, I can get his/her domain username. I need to check if this user exists in tblUser (domain username is same as UserID in tblUser). If user exists, we display all the applications he/she has access to, else display a "no access" page.
Specific questions:
What are some of the things I need to "learn"? (as I said before, I am a .NET newbie, but a fast learner too) I need to use URLAuthorizationModule for validating a page request. How do I hide the username from the URL? I was thinking along the lines of using a session ID... but then how do I know who the user is? I am sure these is a way to encrypt the UserID, just can't find it.
I am trying to send an email using the gmail smtp server. I am trying to enter the SMTP settings into the Web Site Admin tool. I have set
Server Name: smtp.gmail.com
server port: 587
from: myemail@gmail.com
Sender's User Name: my real gmail username
Sender's Password: my real gmail password
I am getting the following error when I try to send an email as a result on using the CreateUserWizard after successfully creating a new user.
Code:
The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was: 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first. i29sm30127820vcr.12
We have a lot of domains running on one IIS WebSite/AppPool.
Right now we are in the process of implementing SSO with Windows Identity Foundation.
in web.config the realm has to be set with
<wsFederation passiveRedirectEnabled="true" issuer="http://issuer.com" realm="http://realm.com" requireHttps="false" />
My problem is that the realm is dependent on which domain the user accessed the website on so what I did is that I set it in an global action filter like this
var module = context.HttpContext.ApplicationInstance.Modules["WSFederationAuthenticationModule"] as WSFederationAuthenticationModule;
module.Realm = "http://" + siteInfo.DomainName;
My question is. When I set the realm like this, is it set per user instance or application instance.
Scenario.
User A loads the page and the realm get set to domain.a.com.
User B is already logged in on domain.b.com and presses login.
Since user A loaded the page before User B pressed login, user A will hit the STS with the wrong realm set.
What will happen here?
If this is not the way to set the realm per user instance, is there another way to do it?
I've received a website that uses sql server on the live environment. In the code at many places sql is created, say: However, locally on my dev machine, I use sql server express edition.

View 5 RepliesI have a menu made of an unordered list:
<ul id="navList">
<li id="homeTab">

I find the controller:

then I would like to set the class for the li according to the controller value. How do I do that?
Something like: if controller == "home", then set the class for the li with the home id to active.

I am adding a 2nd web site to our pubic server and am noticing the SMTP delivery trying to use the default SMTP Virtual Server which is set up for the 1st web.
I created a 2nd virtual server with new smart host and credentials for the new site but need to modify the config file.
I tried using the host name = smtp virtual server 2 name.
Both webs use relay to a host for delivery
Here is my config file
<mailSettings deliveryMethod="Network">
<smtp from="admin@xyz.com">
<network host="xyz.com" />
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
I figured it out. Sometimes you just have to ask someone the question. I changed the network to IP address 192.168.56.11 instead of name of server.
