How To Deny Access To A File With Web Config
Mar 3, 2011
I have a problem with ASP.NET web configuration file. I want to deny some users or roles to accessing a specific PDF file. I am using ASP.NET membership and role management system. So I added this lines of codes to a Web.config file:
<location path="myfile.pdf">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow roles="admin"/>
<deny users="*"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
and put it to the directory witch the file is included in it. Now when I run the project in local system I can not access the PDF file wile I login with "admin" role. But when I publish the project on the web server I can not brows the folder but I can view the PDF file when I browse complete path to the PDF file. So:
I can not access : [URL]
but I can view : [URL]

I have a web application that has a configuration folder that houses multiple XML files that are configuration settings for multiple "portals" as you will. I need IIS to have access to them so the "portal" loads (sql connection strings, master page paths) but I want to deny any outside access (url browsing). Here's an example below:
[URL]
I need to restrict access to this file if you're browsing to it but still allow the system access to it so it can parse the "portal" that it's loading.

I have a folder called /Error in the root directory for an ASP.Net site. The site is completely public, so there is no authentication of users. Inside the Error folder, I have a file called errorlog.aspx, where I log unhandled exceptions. I don't want the public to be able to view this file. I created a web.config file inside the Error folder.
[Code]....
However, I'm still able to view errorlog.aspx by typing the URL into the browser. What am I missing?

I have some pages that need user to sign in. If not, I need to redirect user to signin page. I know this can be done by using some code like"<system.web><authorization><deny users="?"/></authorization></system.web>" in web.config.
But can I just write some code to do the same function?
like in page load method, I can check whether user is sign in, if user is not signed in yet, how can I redirect user to the login page by using code? and how can I stop sending the content of the page to user?

How can I deny access to particular directory in IIS. In Apache I could just add .htaccess file:
Order allow,deny Deny from all
to Logs or cache directory and nobody will allowed to see any content in that directory.
However when I add Web.config:
[Code]....
it works only for files handled by asp and doesn't work for i.e. log.txt.
I don't have access to IIS server, I can only add and change files.

I have certain pages in my application that are designed to be accessed only by redirect from other pages, and not directly(i.e they must get a query string from other page, otherwise there is an exception).
So I want to prevent users from accessing them by typing the URL, but I want them to be available by redirect.

I have set up a SQL Role and denied SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE access to a number of tables.I noticed that a user in this role can create a stored procedure containing a SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE statement on the table that I have denied access to.How could I stop the user in the role from being able to create/alter/execute stored procedure which use the tables than I have denied access to?Also, the user in the role needs to be able to execute stored procedure on the tables which they are not denied access to.

I have an internal corporate ASP.NET MVC website.
Requirement(1): When any person is on the network, they can access this site EXCEPT one AD Group (Example: AD_Sales group).
Requirement(2): Also like for example if a person that has the access passes a url (Ex: http://mysite/Home/Index/Product/Letter) to a sales group person, he still should NOT access and need to display a custom message saying "You are not authorised to view this page".
If the scenario is like to issue the access to one AD Group and deny access for all others, it is fairly is. It can done from IIS. I am Wondering how to do this.

I have a web app, which contains a folder Uploads, to which users (authenticated) upload their files (for some reason it has to be a folder in the root of the web app).I want to deny access to this folder and files to all non-authenticated users.
In my web.config I have:
[Code]....
and everything seems to work in development, but on a staging server it redirects non-authenticated users to login page ONLY from aspx pages, but not when entering the url to the file in Uploads folder.

My web application need to list the network share information. The return code is '5' after I call NetShareEnum[Netapi32.dll] in windows integrated authentication.
I found that currently I am using Kerberos protocol to authenticate the access users and the token is grenerated with [TokenImpersonationLevel.Impersonation].
Who know how to resolve this problem? Is there any way to get a token with [TokenImpersonationLevel.Delegation] in Kerberos? BTW, I am sure about that the access user has the Access privilege to list the network share in target server.

I have few settings which I could place in a separate XML file and have them accessed in the Web app. Then I thought (thinking of one additional file to deploy), why not have them in the web.config itself. However, just because I need to have custom nodes, I can not have the settings under . So, I am thinking of creating a custom config handler following this. Would that be better than having a separate XML file? Is It going to be an overkill or performance wise? Is there a better way to go?

Does somebody knows how to access applicationSettings-Keys in web.config (NOT appSettings) from aspx.file like "<%? applicationSettings:Keyname %>? This seems to work only with the old "appSettings".
From code I can it access it with "Properties.Settings.Default.Keyname", thats clear.
