IE Not Saving Authentication Token / Cookies?
Oct 30, 2010
I have an asp.net site. Its a mixture of web forms and MVC2.
I have this on 2 different servers which I get to via different urls.
On one server authentication works fine via all browsers (IE 8, FF 3.6, Chrome)
On the other IE 8 fails, it doesn't send back the cookie on the request to the page after authenticating.
Using Fiddler I have seen that both sites attempt to set the cookie, in the response from the login page.
Response Header I see from both servers
Set-Cookie: DemandLaunch=CCA4...E79C2D1; path=/; HttpOnly
Both sites are in the internet zone of IE.
I'm at a loose for what to check now.
I also have a page that sets a cookie via c# code and that cookie fails in IE as well.
The IE issue is not on a single computer either. I see this failure on 4 different computers Internet Explorer.
My urls which I should have included were:
beta.[site].com - works
beta_[company].[site].com - fails

I'm writing an ASP.net application that uses Windows Identity Foundation. My ASP.net application uses claims-based authentication with passive redirection to a security token service. This means that when a user accesses the application, they are automatically redirected to the Security Token Service where they receive a security token which identifies them to the application.
In ASP.net, security tokens are stored as cookies.
I want to have something the user can click on in my application that will delete the cookie and redirect them to the Security Token Service to get a new token. In short, make it easy to log out and log in as another user. I try to delete the token-containing cookie in code, but it persists somehow.
How do I remove the token so that the user can log in again and get a new token?

I'm working on a solution to part of my companys site that is done in 2 different languages. My part of the project is in ASP.NET, and the login portal is in a different language. We pass authentication credentials by storing login information in the database on the portal page and then sending a corresponding token to the URL in the page written in .NET. Almost all the tutorials and articles I've read about security for ASP.NET, and most languages, the message has generally been "just use the built in stuff and don't mess with it".
I have code that takes the token, goes into the database and gets the user details.. what do I do then to integrate that into the built-in security stuff for ASP.NET? I'd like to ultimately use Action Filters for authorization on my controllers.

We have a SSO authentication service that other externally facing web pages and services use to authenticate users. A user tries to reach a service, if no cookie is found containing an authentication token, they are redirected (HTTP 302) to the SingleSignOn authentication service. The auth service does it's work, and redirects the user (HTTP 302) to the original URL with their encrypted authentication token in the URL. Great. How can I invoke this from a WCF POX service? No SOAP here, just HTTP GET/POST with XML responses.
What I'm currently doing is, in each service method implementation method, checking the headers for the cookie. If the cookie exists, verify the auth token and process the request. If the cookie doesn't exist or the auth token has expired, then respond with:
[Code]....
That works, but isn't integrated with any of the WCF features, and requires me to manually code for a whole bunch of scenarios. Is there a way I could implement this using these classes:
[Code]....
or use some other means that checks each request to the service? I've been reading pages like: How to: Create a Custom Token, but I don't see how it applies to my needs. I'm looking into this because I have some time before my project kicks off, and I'd like to implement this project correctly and learn about WCF as much as I can.

I'm trying to get a ASP.NET application to use windows authentication. I have disabled anonymous auth and enabled windows auth in IIS7. On my dev box (my workstation, localhost) I can use fiddler and see proper token is passed in through the header and I'm not prompted. Everything is working fine and I'm authenticated as my domain user.
However, on a remote server on our domain, with identical settings, I continually get prompted. We need it to automatically send the domain authentication for windows auth.
Does anything in IE need to be configured for this to happen for a remote machine on the same domain?

I have an existing asp.net mvc website that uses basic forms authentication. The site has a login page that posts back to a login action, which logs the user in via FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(). I am looking to add an api to the site, as an mvc2 area, where users would be authenticated based on a token passed as an http header. This area will consist of only json actions, so redirecting the user to a login page doesn't make sense. Instead, I want the users to just pass a token along with each request. That token is mapped to each user account and the user would be authenticated automatically.
I'm struggling with where to put this logic. At this point, the best choice seems to be adding the header lookup logic and authentication to the Global.asax in the Application_AuthenticateRequest method. I want to avoid needing to redirect the user after calling FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(), though. I want the login action to be transparent to them. Am I approaching this the wrong way? As a side note: Requiring a username/password for api requests is not possible, as the site has a mix of users. Some joined using OpenID while the rest joined with a username/password.

So I have an asp.net Web Application (Not Web Site) that I am trying to support profiles for anonymous users. I have a form and I want anonymous users to be able to enter their name and email only once, and have that information automatically accessible on the next load for them.
In my Web.config I have anonymous ID setup like so:
<anonymousIdentification enabled="true" cookieless="AutoDetect" />
I have my profile section setup like this:
<profile defaultProvider="SqlProvider" enabled="true" inherits="QA_Web_Tools.UserProfile">
<providers>
<clear />
<add connectionStringName="QAToolsConnectionString" name="SqlProvider"
type="System.Web.Profile.SqlProfileProvider" />
</providers>
</profile>
Finally, due to my app being a Web App and not a Web Site, I am using the profiles via this custom object:
public class UserProfile : ProfileBase
{
public static UserProfile GetUserProfile(string username)
{
return Create(username) as UserProfile;
}
public static UserProfile GetUserProfile()
{
return Create(Membership.GetUser().UserName) as UserProfile;
}
[SettingsAllowAnonymous(true)]
public string FullName
{
get { return base["FullName"] as string; }
set { base["FullName"] = value; }
}
[SettingsAllowAnonymous(true)]
public string BuildEmail
{
get { return base["BuildEmail"] as string; }
set { base["BuildEvmail"] = value; }
}
}
This code is based off of this reference. The issue is that that code does not support anonymous users, or if it does I don't know how. I can't use the GetUserProfile() method with no parameters because if the user is anonymous, Membership.GetUser() is null. I could pass in the anonymous ID token into the first GetUserProfile(string username) method but I cant' find any way to get the anonymous ID token for the current user. Does anyone know how to get this information? Google doesn't seem to be returning useful results.

In my website, I am not using any authentication or authorization. I've created login page to capture the user credentials and check against database. If the user successfully authenticates, it's storing the user data in session and navigating to other pages. How thinking of implementing Forms Authentication, but my concern is how to secure the authentication token in client browser for security reasons. Does anyone have any ideas how to secure the authentication token?

So, I am working on a demo web dashboard. Previously, I had been using Session to store settings about the dashboard, but I would like to move it to a more persistent means of saving settings.It seems to me that using cookies would be my best bet. I'm not entirely positive I have the time to work everything out for writing to/from a database properly.That being said, I might be in over my head on some assumptions I had made about the similarities between Session and Cookies. Currently, I have some code like this:
public Dictionary<string, RadPageViewSetting> PageViewStates
{
get

Background: From a desktop application, users will navigate to an SSL-encrypted web portal where they will have to enter a username / password if it's their first time logging in. I want to be able to securely persist their user session. I was thinking of using encrypted cookies, storing their username and a unique session token / key, but was wondering what benefits client certificates offered in terms of security.
The way I see understand it currently:
Encrypted cookies:
Saved on the user's machine just like any other cookie Since the entire site is SSL, the contents of the cookie cnnot be tampered withEasily implementableWhen a user logs in again, invalidate the token / key and issue a new one
Problems:
Anyone attempting to access the web portal on the computer with a saved session will be able to, but this is a problem with any persisted session, right?
How do I know that computer A is computer A and not just computer B that copied computer A's cookie?
Client Certificates:
A pain in the ass to install Will uniquely identify that person's computer (or can it be restricted to the user account) to the web portal If the client certificate is stolen, then the account is compromised
Question: For persisting user sessions with the utmost security, would encrypted cookies be sufficient or would I need to install client certificates? How do they differ?

I have a small website with about 10 members. 5 of those are now banned.
I have ensured that they cannot login through the login page.
However because the authentication cookie is persistent and is set to expire after a few months if they return to the site they will still be logged in.
A simple solution is just to expire all authentication tickets/cookies.

How to implement Forms Authentication using Cookies?

I'm trying to check the Expired property of the user's current FormsAuthenticationTicket to see if the authentication period has expired. But when the period has expired, I'm never able to get enough information to even create the ticket to check. I've tried this:
FormsIdentity id = (FormsIdentity)User.Identity;
FormsAuthenticationTicket ticket = id.Ticket;
But User is null when the authentication period has expired. So that won't work. I've tried this:
HttpCookie authCookie = context.Request.Cookies[FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName];
FormsAuthenticationTicket authTicket = FormsAuthentication.Decrypt(authCookie.Value);
But the Forms Cookie is gone when the authentication period has expired, meaning authCookie will be null. So that doesn't work.
Is there any way to actually get the FormsAuthenticationTicket object when the authentication period has expired? There must be, because there's an "Expired" property in the object.

I'm handling cookies using JavaScript to store some values in my asp.net web application.I use document.cookie to save some values (converted into a lengthy string). But i want that value to be accessible across all the pages in my application.When i try to get that value from a different page, i get the values pertaining to the document in the current URL.
In short i save the value in the cookie in http://myapp/doc1.aspx and want to retrieve it in http://myapp/doc2.aspx
So is document.cookie is pertaining to a single document scope? How can i save/read cookies across the site?
Update.This is how i get and set cookies
function getCookie(c_name)
{
try{ [code]...
But i'm getting different values for the cookies in different pages.

I have been experimenting with code that will clear all of the cookies in an HttpContext.Response.Initially, I used this:
DateTime cookieExpires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-1);
for (int i = 0; i < HttpContext.Request.Cookies.Count; i++)
{
HttpContext.Response.Cookies.Add(
new HttpCookie(HttpContext.Request.Cookies[i].Name, null) { Expires = cookieExpires });
}
this will error with an OutOfMemoryException because the for loop never exits - each time you add a cookie to the Response, it also gets added to the `Request.

I know that if I have set a cookie on a previous request, it will show up in my Request.Cookies collection. I want to update my existing Cookie. Are the cookies from my Request.Cookies collection already copied to my Response.Cookies collection? Do I need to add a new cookie with the same key using Response.Cookies.Add(), or do I need to use Response.Cookies.Set()?

I'm writing up a security document and it would be great if programmers in other languages than PHP could chime in on (perhaps the default) way sessions are passed by URL in their language's default session handler.
eg. PHPSESSION=token in PHP
Oh, and if yes does it also use cookies?
