Don't Allow Users To View / Access Directory’s By URL And All Their Sub - Dirs And Files?
Mar 10, 2010
I wonder if there is anyway to deny users from beeing able to view or acces speciall folders in the application...for instance.. lets say that we have an application with teh folder "dir",then by default the user whould be able to type [URL] and actually access this folder and see all its content..or if we have an image file for example in the "dir" folder called "img.jpg" then the user whould be able to type [URL] and the image file whould be shown...but what if I dont want the user to be able to see this file,or any of the dir-folders subfolders and files?..how whould I do that?
I wonder if it's possible to use .NET to get access to users in Active Directory: - Methods that returns a collection of users belonging to a specific AD group - Get access to AD propterties beloning to the user account, want to check if the user account is disabled or not
I am trying to create a diary site which will allow users to enter rich texts (text, picture and video links...) and the outcome for each page will be an html file being saved under each users profile folder.If I create html files for every user entry, then these pages can be accessible if the path and file name is known for them... I am trying to have some secured html pages so that only the owner of those pages can have access to them after logging in.
I m writing a web page to display user name and his contact number.
I m giving user a choice to enter user name once he enter the name i should be able to search in active directory and return all user starting with (inputed name).
DirectorySearcher deSearch = new DirectorySearcher(de);
//set the search filter deSearch.SearchRoot = de;[CODE]....
Above code needs exact login name like adamjo which is not the purpose.i should be able to display all possible possibilities for example if user enters adam i should give him choice to select whether he want to see adam josef or adam john e.t.c.Is there any property to find first name from active directory?
I have a shared folder with directories on a remote server that I am trying to access with the method System.IO.Directory.GetDirectories(). This folder is based off of the credentials gotten from windows authentication. My problem is that everything works fun when I debug the Web Application in the built in IIS in VS, but when I set it up in IIS V5.1, it tells me that I have an invalid username and password. I am using Visual Studio 2005 on a Microsoft XP SP2 machine.
I want to learn how to add/delete/update account (including adding mail boxes for new users). Can someone point to a good book where I can begin from. I want to start with some real basics and build from there.
have a probleme with my search filter, i want to list the users of an organizational unit result.filter =(& (objectClass= user)(ou=dep1)); ====> it didn't work for me
I want to use the Domain Users group to show all the users in a dropdown box. For some or other reason I cannot return all the users when looking for everyone under the domain so instead I was thinking of using the domain users group.This is part of my code:
I need to list a group of users, their group name is (IRS Group) to a list group. how to do this. I'm very new to asp.net and dont have much knowlegde about acctive directory.
I have zip files in one directory . I want to iterate through all files and check the file size. If file size <>0 kb then want to move to another directory. How can I do that?
I am trying to retrieve all the users from active directory into a sorted list, but for some reason it does not return all the users like myself for instance. It's on a client's ad and there is probably about 1500+ users in AD.
How can I get a list of users from active directory? Is there a way to pull username, firstname, lastname? I saw a similar post where this was used:
PrincipalContext ctx = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain, "YOURDOMAIN"); I have never done anything with active directory so I am completely lost.
I'm trying to add a directory for anon access in IIS 7.5. It works under Web Dev but not IIS 7.5
I'm currently using this web.config in the directory. This is a directory with style sheets:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
Note: As an alternative to hand editing this file you can use theweb admin tool to configure settings for your application. Use the Website->Asp.Net Configuration option in Visual Studio. A full list of settings and comments can be found in machine.config.comments usually located in WindowsMicrosoft.NetFrameworkv2.xConfig
I've went to the folder and under Authentication, I've changed anonymous authentication from IIS_USR to pool. This seems to have correct it.
I will reward anyone who provides a very good explanation and resources for understanding this setting. Also, how to apply it globally would be good to know -- for all folders.
I have a web site with an administrative section. All administrative pages are stored in a directory called "db/administration". There is only one user that I want to have access to the pages in this directory. That user's username is "system". Currently, I am using the following approach in my web.config file:
[Code]....
When I logged in as another user, I was still able to access pages under db/administration when I navigated to them through the browser's address bar. What am I doing wrong?
I am trying to do something that i am sure has been done before. I have a asp.net pagethat changes a password , and it works fine if I use credentials of a user with rights to a OU that holds the users container. However i would like to have the users credentials
userEntry = new DirectoryEntry(adspath,userid,this.oldPasswordtb.Text.ToString(),AuthenticationTypes.Secure);
be used when executing
userEntry.Invoke("SetPassword", new Object[] {passwd});
currently I get System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED)) --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Invoke(String methodName, Object[] args) at ASP.changepassword_aspx.__Render__control1(HtmlTextWriter __w, Control parameterContainer) in c:usrhtmlexternalChangePasswordchangepassword.aspx:line 128any ideas why that wouldn't work users I assume have right to modify that attribute of their CN right?see code below
I am wanting to make a sign in and out site for reception I have made it so far using C#, I have got the visitor part sorted, how I could let staff choose there name from a list that has retrieved the names from active directory and then that pulls there name into the SQL Database and then adds a row with there name into as including other columns but I can do the other columns.
I'm being tasked with making changes to an asp.net application and really have no experience working with them other than dabbling in VWD.I was given a zip file of the directory containing the files. It was developed in VWD 2005. . My question is a general one: Are there steps I need to take (regenerate web.config file? change settings of some sort?) in order to get started? The application is functional on the web server.
I'm looking at starting a new web app which needs to be secure (if for no other reason than that we'll need PCI (Payment Card Industry) accreditation at some point). From previous experience working with PCI (on a domain), the preferred method is to use integrated windows authentication which is then passed all the way through the app to the database using kerberos (so the NT user has permissions in the DB). This allows for better auditing as well as object-level permissions (ie an end user can't read the credit card table). There are advantages in that even if someone compromises the webserver, they won't be able to glean any/much additional information from the database. Also, the webserver isn't storing any database credentials (beyond perhaps a simple anonymous user with very few permissions for simple website config)
So, now I'm looking at the new web app which will be on the public internet. One suggestion is to have a Active Directory server and create windows accounts on the AD for each user of the site. These users will then be placed into the appropriate NT groups to decide which DB permissions they should have (and which pages they can access). ASP.Net already provides the AD membership provider and role provider so this should be fairly simple to implement. There are a number of questions around this - Scalability, reliability, etc... and I was wondering if there is anyone out there with experience of this approach or, even better, some good reasons why to do it / not to do it.
I need to get the list of domain usrs. The users not necessorily be on the domain where I am logged in. (e.g. I am logged in on domain "Dom111" but I need the list of users from the domain "Dom222")
I want this information on the basis of following - 1) Name of the Domain 2) A valid User name (of-course with Admin rights for the Target domain) and password
I am trying to use the following code -
DirectoryContext dc = new DirectoryContext(DirectoryContextType.Domain, "Dom222", "Administrator", "password"); Domain domain = Domain.GetDomain(dc); DirectoryEntry de = domain.GetDirectoryEntry(); FillList(de);
Here is the FillList function private void FillList(DirectoryEntry de) { DirectorySearcher deSearch = new DirectorySearcher(de); deSearch.Filter = "(&(objectClass=user)(objectCategory=person))"; SearchResultCollection results = deSearch.FindAll(); //checkedListBox1.Items.Clear(); foreach (SearchResult srUser in results) { DirectoryEntry deUser = srUser.GetDirectoryEntry(); checkedListBox1.Items.Add(deUser.Properties["sAMAccountName"].Value.ToString()); } checkedListBox1.Sorted = true; }
This works fine for the domain where I logged in (i.e. Dom111) but for the other domain (Dom222), while executing the statement - Domain domain = Domain.GetDomain(dc); I am getting the error saying "The specified domain does not exist or cannot be contacted."
Now, For creating the dc if I use following - DirectoryContext dcTemp = new DirectoryContext(DirectoryContextType.DirectoryServer, "Server_dom222", "administrator", "password"); Then everything works fine. But as you can see I need to pass the "Domain Controller (Server) Name"which I want to avoid.
