I have a ASP.NET page called admin.aspx that needs to be protected from direct access.
I want it to be accessed only when the user enter his name & password in another page called login.aspx I'm working in ASP.NET with Visual Basic .NET 2008,how to do it.
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 a security issue in my web application where user can enter malicious data/can change the page path directory. To avoid these i want to restrict the user by accessing/typing in the URL.
View 5 RepliesIn one of my website I need to prevent direct access to non .aspx pages in a protected folder. Authentication works fine if I am going to [URL] but in one case my users are uploading html pages in that folder and if somebody cut and paste [URL]the page can be seen without the authentication process to be activated.
View 6 RepliesI am using IIS7's URLRewrite feature to hide the .aspx extension in my ASP.NET WebForms application's URLs.
I'm using the following configuration:
[code]....
I can now browse to:
[URL]
and this is rewritten to:
[URL]
This preserves the "pretty" url in the browser address bar. I have also updated all my links on the site to use the extensionless URLs.
The problem is that the underlying .aspx pages can still be accessed directly and I'd like to prevent this.
If a user browses to [URL] I'd like it to either redirect/rewrite to [URL], or at the very least just return a "Page not found".
Update:
I managed to get this working by redirecting all .aspx pages to the home directory. This isn't ideal as I'd prefer to send them to the non-.aspx version, but it will do for now.
<rule name="Block .aspx" stopProcessing="true">
<match url=".aspx" />
<action type="Redirect" url="/" />
</rule>`
How do I rewrite and redirect URLs that directly address .aspx pages to my friendly URL format?
I have a site where most of my pages are arranged in business area folders, e.g. Activations, Outdoors, Branding. Each folder has a small web.config that protects the contents against access by people without a role for that business area.
However, basic admin for most business areas is done via Dynamic Data pages. These are only basically protected by not appearing in the menu unless the user has the correct role, but they are still accessible directly via URL, because of the {table}/{Action} routing used by Dynamic Data. What can I do to protect these pages against direct access?
I am interested in finding out how I would go about displaying a website wiithout forms authentication but to utilise forms authentication when the user makes a request by clicking in the signin button, and then the user will view other pages that are private and secure,

View 3 RepliesHere is my dilema, on my site i have a WordPress Audio player (http://wpaudioplayer.com/standalone) that plays my mp3's.
It loads the Mp3's in by javascript...example below:
AudioPlayer.embed("audioplayer_7", { soundFile: "/Files/Music/[name of file].mp3" });
This file name is clearly visible in the browser source. Not a problem, however this means that any user can legitimately browse to the file directly and download it.
Now i still need the mp3 player (which is flash) to have access to the file but if a user was to try accessing the file directly, they would not be allowed access to it.
I am not sure how to go about this, i am circling the idea of a httphandler but not sure if this is sufficiant to stop the direct access to the file.
My ASP.NET application logs transactions (both inside AND outside of databases), and therefore needs read/write access to text files within various directories within the root of the website - in ADDITION to the normal database access.
In this scenario, how can I safely allow my ASP.NET application to write data to the web folders? I have a thread-safe DLL that performs the actual work, so I don't believe I need to worry about multiple sessions writing to the log files at the exact same time - assuming my DLL will only be running in a single instance/process that will be shared between numerous ASP.NET instances/processes/threads.
But I'm more concerned about file access permissions. I've heard that ASP.NET applications generally aren't allowed access to the webserver's local file system, and that this may even restrict my DLL from getting the correct file access. Can I grant my application file-access to the web-driectories?
Im using an aspx page as the srcl for an image in the host page to serve a dynamically generated image to the user based on parameters they supply
ie
<img alt="" src="generateimage.aspx" id="imagegen"/></div>
Id like for people only to access the content via default.aspx and not the dynamically generated content generateimage.aspx. Any attempt to browse here directly should be redirected to an error page

View 1 RepliesHow to protect our web.config file from external access.
I mean some sort of password protection.
I am an experienced developer but I am new to web application development. Now I am in charge of developing a new web application and I could really use some input from experienced web developers out there.
I'd like to understand exactly what experienced web developers do in the code-behind pages. At first I thought it was best to have a rule that all the database access and business logic should be performed in classes external to the code-behind pages. My thought was that only logic necessary for the web form would be performed in the code-behind. I still think that all the business logic should be performed in other classes but I'm beginning to think it would be alright if the code-behind had access to the database to query it directly rather than having to call other classes to receive a dataset or collection back.

I`m building the web app in which I will have couple of different modules, and I want to have an opportunity to assign different modules to each users.
I know that good way of doing it is to use ASP.NET Membership and Roles etc.
But -> In my app I have a very simple Memebrship management -> Administrator is the only person who can create and delete users, and I also want to use my own SQL database to hold user data. So to use ASP.NET Mebership I should write my own Membership and Role Providers.
It is clear, but there is a lot of functions I should ovveride which I will never use. Like the whole stuff with question and answer.

View 1 RepliesI'm using user membership and roles. Below is my web.config for subfolder restriction.
[Code]....
The way I have above, no one can access this folder, mySub, except Administrators, Editors, and Members. However, here's what I want. I want to allow all and any user to the default.aspx page of this mySub folder and denied any other pages if they're not Administrators, Editors, and Members. One last thing, also denied access to addWord.aspx if they're not Administrators and Editors. I know I can list all the pages and give them various permission but I do not want to list all the pages. What's the best and easist way to accomplish this?

I have a website developed in ASP.NET created by someone else, sitting on another server... until now... a simple(ish) setup with login to update content. The site was zipped up and I was told it would be a simple case of uploading all the files onto the new server. I've managed to upload the site and it works fine... but I can't access the editing pages as it will no longer accept the username and password when I go to login. The host server is running ASP.NET v4 and IIS v7. Hosting is with [URL] so I'm also getting used to their way of doing things.

I only want my web images to be visibleSimpliied, a digital media page pulls html content from a database using SQL security and renders that HTML. That digital media page is secured in that only a returing Paypal transaction user with a matching transaction can access it. But today that HTML content makes references to images on my site, those images can be freely directly over the web.The backend is asp.net 2.0. Would it be possible for me to secure the web folder with my images to some generic user and impersonate access from my pages so that attempts to access images directly fails?f not, any way to solve all that html content on serverside somehow and turn it into something else I can secure?
