MVC Application Suddenly Requiring Authorization For Everything After Windows / IIS Reinstall
Nov 20, 2010
I recently reinstalled Windows (on an SSD!) and I'm in the process of setting up IIS and all my web projects. One of my MVC project keeps asking for authentication on everything, including on resources like .css files and images. I'm using the default MVC template login with a custom provider that I'm using for dev purposes. I've tried rolling back my web.config to before I moved the project file and re-set IIS, but that didn't make much of a difference -- aside from changing authentication mode from Windows to Forms. Can you see anything wrong with my config?
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="~/Account/LogOn" timeout="2880" />
</authentication>
<membership defaultProvider="SuperSimpleMembershipProvider">
<providers>
<clear />
<add name="SuperSimpleMembershipProvider" type="Website.Helpers.SuperSimpleMembershipProvider" />
</providers>
</membership>
I don't have any <authorization> element or anything else related to login, since I'm doing everything via MVC. Update: Tried <authorization><allow users="*"/></authorization>, still not working.

Is it possible to specify that multiple roles are required inside the authorization element of the web.config file? I currently have this block in one web.config of my site for a specific directory:
<authorization>
<allow roles="Global, Region" />
<deny users="*" />
</authorization>
I've just identified a special case where a person with two lower-level permissions than Global and Region should also have access to this directory. Roughly, I want something like this:
<authorization>
<allow roles="GlobalManager, RegionManager, SiteManager && FooSite" />
<deny users="*" />
</authorization>
I realize I probably should have a new role for this scenario, but I'd like to avoid that.

The application attempted to perform an operation not allowed by the security policy. To grant this application the required permission please contact your system administrator or change the application's trust level in the configuration file.

I have a web application that was working fine. I had to make minor changes that had nothing to do with the Session object in any way. When I run local everything works fine. When I publish to our testing box it all runs fine. When I publish to production it times out on the Session object. Dozens of other applications on the production server run fine and have no trouble with Session.
It does not matter if the line is:
Session("PreferredName") = sPreferredName
or:
sPreferredName = Session("PreferredName")
I had the server admin remove the application pool and directory and recreate them and then I republished and it still happens.

I am building an intranet website. And I am still unsure of how to implement the security of the website. I am using ASP.NET MVC 3.
Anyone in the company can access the website. It is a recognition system where you can nominate an employee for an award. Currently I am not using any type of authentication. I have a roles table that contains roles and an association table that specifies which user contain what roles, these roles are mainly administrator-type roles. If a user does belong in these roles then he/she can still access various parts of the website.
Would I need to use the built-in membership for this? Or would I need to create a custom membership for this? We don't use a login page. If the user does not have roles to access a view then he/she is redirected to another page.
We use IIS to do our authentication. Is this the same as Windows authentication? I have the roles table used for authorisation.

I'm using the Authorize attribute to filter controller actions based on user roles, but if an unauthorized action is attempted, the user is redirected back to the login page. As I user I would find this confusing and irritating. How can I instead show an error message informing the user they need certain roles, and remain on the view where they attempted an action?

I am using ASP.NET MVC 3 and am trying to do something that should be really straight forward...
My application uses Forms authentication and that is working perfectly for controllers/actions. For example if I decorate either a controller or an action with the attribute below only members of the administrators group can view them:
[Authorize(Roles="Administrators")]
However I have a folder under the default Scripts folder called Admin. I only want members of the Administrators group to be able to access scripts within this directory so I created a new web.config in the directory with the following inside:
[code]....
However no matter whether a user is a member of the Administrators group or not they receive a 302 Found message and are then redirected to the login page.
If I change the web.config to allow user="*" then it works. It also works if I add an allow users="Username" for a specific user I am testing with.

When a user attempts to directly visit the url admin.aspx, and they are not an admin, they are redirected to the login page. However, the user then attempts to visit ViewWeek.aspx, it indicates that they are still logged in. Why does this ASP.NET authorization boot the user to the login screen, yet keep the user logged in? I'd rather it just direct the user to the default URL specified in the forms tag.
Here's my Forms Authentication:
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms name=".ASPXFORMSAUTH" defaultUrl="ViewWeek.aspx" timeout="50000000" />
</authentication>

We have a website portal hosted in Windows 2003 server. For security reasons we are using different windows Login user say (xxxx) for signin other than Administrator. Now with this user (xxxx) name I installed .net Windows Application. It was working fine. For some reasons I renamed the original windows Login user(xxxx) to different say (yyyy). Now this .net Windows Application is not working with (yyyy) and even it is not allowing me to uninstall it.

I removed mvc3 tools for visual studio, and now it seems no matter how much reinstalling, or un-installing i do i cant get razor project templates or intellisence for razor.I have even removed the visual studio folder and visual studio hives in the registry but still the same. I seem to remember a simular problem with mvc2 tools, that the installer doers not reconize it as un-installed and therefore does not re-install it.how can i re-install mvc tools so VS reconises razor, or remove all trace of visual studio and mvc3 so that i can start again?

I'm experiencing a to me mysterious error when sending e-mails through a SMTP-server from an ASP.NET web application. I get the famous error "unable to relay for xxx@yyy.zzz". What's mysterious to me is that when I cut and paste the exact same code that sends the e-mail into an usual .NET Windows Forms application, send the e-mail with this application, it all works just fine. This made me think that perhaps the problem is that the ASP.NET application runs as NETWORK SERVICE while the Windows Forms application runs on a domain user account, but it turns out that I have another ASP.NET application sending e-mail through the same SMTP-server running under NETWORK SERVER at the same IIS, and this application does not experience this problem.
I've further tried to send e-mails through the SMTP-server manually by telnet the smtp-server on port 25 and running the SMTP-protocol manually, and it all works fine. The SMTP-server is not configured with any kind of authentication or SSL.
Another mysterious fact is that the ASP.NET application can send e-mails from an adress within the same domain to an e-mail adress within the same domain, but not to any adress outside of the domain. But the Windows Forms application, that uses the exact same code, can send e-mails from any adress to any adress both within AND outside of the domain.
So to summarize:
The ASP.NET application can send
e-mails from addresses within the
domain to adresses within the domain,
but not to addresses outside of the
domain.
A Windows Forms application running
the same code on the same computer
can send e-mails from ANY address to
ANY address.
Another ASP.NET application on the
same IIS running under the same
account (NETWORK SERVICE) can send
e-mails using the same SMTP-server
from ANY adress to ANY adress.
There is no authentication configured
on the SMTP-Server.
Both the ASP.NET application and the
Windows Forms application utilizes
the System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient class
to send a
System.Net.Mail.MailMessage.
The code that sends the e-mail massage is:
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MailMessage mesasge = new MailMessage(txtFrom.Text, txtTo.Text, "Test mail", txtBody.Text);
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
if (!(string.IsNullOrEmpty(txtUserName.Text))) //Is false since txtUserName.Text is empty
client.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(txtUserName.Text, txtPassword.Text);
client.EnableSsl = false;
client.Host = txtServer.Text;
client.Port = 25;
try
{
client.Send(mesasge);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
txtResponse.Text = ex.Message;
}
}
As far as I can understand, this should be a matter of configuration rather than coding issues.

I have some common dlls that are referenced by both a windows service application and a asp.net web application. I don't want to make separate copies of the dlls and I also don't want to put those dlls into GAC. I try to put that service application under the same root folder as the web application so that they can share the same bin folder. I am not quite sure if this will cause any problems? I did find the web application had random session timeout, but not very often. Not sure if it was caused by the shared dlls.

I have a simple windows form app that I need to get the file path for. I am placing a config file in the same directory and I need to be able to get the path to that file.
I have used
Application.CommonAppDataPath
but that returns the path with 1.0.0.0 at the end.
and
Applicaiton.StartupPath
but that returns the path with indebug at the end
Is there anyway to get the path to just the main file directory without anything appended to the end?

why is it that the exact same codes that i use to create a Windows application, which is able to work, does not work on a Web application? i created a windows application using c# and socket programming language. i will be connected to a remote server and through the windows application, and i will be able to send the "byte[] msg" to the server and activate the LED lightbulbs attached to the remote server. that exact same codes works well on the Windows application. however, when i create another Web application using the same exact codes, i does not have any error yet i am not able to activate the LED lightbulbs attached to it. is it that through the web or internet explorer i am not able to send the "byte[] msg" correctly? or that i sld modify "byte[] msg" to suit the web usage? or any other reasons?

I initially installed Visual Studio 2008 Developer edition. I then installed Visual Studio 2008 Suite edition, with 2008 Developer edition still on the PC. When attempting to create a new Web Test, this option is not available to select when adding a new test in the solution.
The steps I followed:
1) Create new Project: Test Project
2) Add "New Test"
3) At this point I would expect "Web Test" to be an option, I only have Ordered Test, Unit Test, and Unit Test Wizard.
Do I need to uninstall Visual Studio 2008 and start with a clean Visual Studio 2008 Suite to get the "Web Test" option to show?

I recently "inadvertantly" installed VWD 2010. I still have my Visual Studio 2008 (full version) installed and want to remove VWD 2010. I want to recompile my active projects under VS 2008. Here are the steps I am planning to undertake. Am I missing anything?
1. Save all active projects 2. Remove VWD 2010 using "Uninstall Programs" from the control panel.3. remove ASP 4.0 via the same route.4. Reinstall VS 2008 5. Reinstall all service packs.Will this bring me back to a fully functional VS 2008? Need I make any additional registry changes?For the record, I do like VWD 2010 and would like to upgrade to the professional version but I cannot afford to do so at this time. I need to build some console applications and this is not possible under VWD. I am also unable to install C# Express.
