External Connector Licensing With Website Hosted On Windows?
Jun 18, 2010
I we have created a website that requires users to login. It used forms based authentication and sql server to validation the login credentials.
Should we need to purchase an external connector license from microsoft to be able to host this site on a windows .net platform.
Edit: More information about external connectors. In microsoft licensing world there are cals for users connecting to the windows server software, external connectors are unlimited cal licenses.
We have developed a website in asp.net using windows authentication and deployed it on the intranet (IIS v6.0). Most of the times, when users try to access this website they are taken straight to the website, but occasionally some users get a prompt to enter their windows username and password. I understand that this could be caused because of several reasons like:
Cached active directory password. Recently active directory password changed. Active directory account locked out. I want to fix this issue for good because it is annoying the users.
We have developed a small method that pulls a cryptographic key from a signed xml document and then checks the signature using the SignedXml.CheckSignature method.
When run from a command line app the key validates properly. However as soon as I call it from a web app it stops working. Anybody know what could be happening?:
// Verify the signature of an XML file against an asymmetric // algorithm and return the result.XmlDocument Doc, RSA Key public static Boolean VerifyLicenceFile(string xmlLicFilePathArg) { bool isVerified = false;....
I've got an external site that's built in SharePoint 2007. the user of the site need to have an option to view the full site when accessed from a mobile device. I am thinking of just creating a button control to do this. The question is, what would be the best solution to do this?
Created a windows service for my local system for sending bulk mail and it is working.But the same if the want to access the db which is there in hosted server and want to install it in my local machine to access the db details from the server , is not working. While starting a service , it is stopping immediately. Is it possible to do so?
My current ASP.NET site requires to launch FFMPEG.EXE to convert uploaded videos. With shared web hosting server, can't be done but via a Virtual Private Server (VPS) or a dedicated server.
I've been reading some info about Windows Azure but haven't found any info regarding:
1. Be able to launch external executable
2. Be able to remote desktop into the allocated virtual machines
I am trying to access a wcf service hosted on a server running on a virtual machine on a windows 2008 R2 hyperv. When i access this service when running my asp.net website through code everything works fine how ever when i deploy the application on the local IIS , in the deployed mode i am getting an securityaccessdeined exception. My Asp.net app is running on a IIS server on another virtual machine. The stack trace is as given below :
Environment Info: My asp.net app has built on .NET 4.0 framework using VS2010. My WCF services are based on .NET2.0 framework. Event code: 3005
Event message: An unhandled exception has occurred.
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?
Is it possible to embed an external application inside the browser (IE, Chrome, Safari, Firefox) so it will look like a native web application but actually having access to the USB ports of the client machine? I have heard that I need to make an ActiveX control. I would like to use the .Net framework, but if that is not possible, maybe using Java or C++ will be fine.
I have to make an application that will allow to the users to connect an external device to an USB port, this device will take a backup of the information contained in a SIM card and send it to the user's account online agenda. So the user can restore it later using the same application. This should be a web application or at least look like one.
If the first is not possible. Is there any way to launch an external application from all the browsers, and then pass information to the browser window to allow it to refresh after the backup has been made?
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?
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
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?
My asp.net site has very good performance on local ips on all the systems. But it 5 time slow down on live ip.
1. What could be the issue:
Server is not capable? I have checked the ping and it response time is 153 ms for each require on live ip but on local ip it gives < 1 ms response time.
2. I have not compile the solution just copy and paste on the iis and create virtual directory?
The behaviour I would like is for a user to be able to visit a custom built website and if they are already authenticated against sharepoint for the custom website to know who they are and give them various rights. If they are not recognised by sharepoint then I would like them to login to sharepoint and be directed back to the custom website. Sharepoint picks its users and groups up from Active Directory. I don't know much about the internals of the server, but the custom one will be in a separate domain (I think) though I have full control over the custom and moderate control over the SP infrastructure.
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.
I have been trying to avoid the windows login userid and password window when I use the Windows Authentication mode for a web site. I need to capture the the windows logon user name without prompting for the user id and password and display that on the web site. I had tried almost everything... changed authentication,security setups on IE and IIS etc... still not being able to avoid the window...
I'm trying to enable automatic Window authentication working on our ASP.NET Intranet. I've changed the Authentication on our IIS 7.5 server from Anonymous to Windows Authentication Enabled only, and changed the Web.config file for the website to:
The Windows login box appears when accessing the website via IE 8, I enter valid credentials, but the login window keeps reappearing as if it does not accept my credentials. By repeatedly cancelling the login box it disappears, and my login name can be viewed on the website. Is there any possible reason for the login box to keep popping up even though valid credentials are being entered? I've restarted the servers / cleared browser cache etc. Also, ideally I would like the user to enter the login details once in the login box and not be required to reenter login details whenever he reopens the browser.
