I need to put windows authentication on a site (so when a user access the site they are prompted with a username/password box) but I need certain IP addresses to bypass this authentication.
View 2 Repliesi have a problem with forms authentication. i have a website and want to restrict access to an especific folder. i want the access to this folder be made via the login form this is what i have in the web.config
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms name="Compra" loginUrl="wfLogin.aspx" path="/" protection="All" timeout="30" />
</authentication>
<authorization>
<allow users="*"/>
</authorization>
Then this to restrict folder
<location path="Admin">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<deny users="*"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
the problem is that when the user login with valid information the website return to the login form.
We use Sharepoint to control our websites. We build the sites, then load them into the sharepoint server. My question is if I use windows authentication, how can I get my role security in my web config file to coencide with the asp.net controls that use the Forms authentication. Is there a differenence? Our security uses a session variable for security but there is no where to set up their permissions except in active directory. I hope this makes sense because I would like to implement the LoginView with Role groups but how can I give them the role="administrator"? Do I have to go into active directory and give them these permissions(would take awhile due to the size of the company)? Or do I have to set up priveladges in the web.config file for each user(difficult I think)?
View 5 RepliesThis could be very straight forward for some of you, but I got caught up. I am doing very simple test - browsing from IIS Manager to see the default page or "under Construction", however I am being challenged to provide my login credential . When I provide my login credential, I am able to see the default page. I wanted to see the default page without providing my credential since Enable anoymous access + basic authentication I am simply wanted to see the default page asit is working on other servers except this one. I have included screen print to make sure may question is clear.
View 3 RepliesI am required to control access to a specific file on our server. I suggested, for the time being (rather than affording time for other routes until we can), that we simply use the web.config to lock this file down to everyone by means of a location/system.web/authorization setting.
This soon failed to protect the resource and I quickly became aware why (I think). It is a public site and is not using Forms authentication (currently just defaulting to Windows).
So, for clarity, here are the relevant parts the config file...
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<system.web>
<authentication mode="Windows"/>
</system.web>
<location path="thefile.extension">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<deny users="*"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
</configuration>
Can I secure this resource without turning on Forms authentication? Or can I turn authentication on but never actually require authentication to occur, by allowing all resources but the ones explicitly stated, or by explicitly stating all allowed and denied resources?

View 2 RepliesI have a basic intranet website for my company but there is one page that cannot allow anonymous as I need to grab the user's login. I created the site and everything works perfectly on my development machine. once moved to the production server it no longer works.

I'm writing a simple Intranet application using windows authentication. I want to restrict access to Safe/UCantSeeMe.aspx. I am aware of the AuthorizeAttribute, but this only works on methods. I also found a good post on doing this with the MVC pattern, but I'm not using MVC. This can be done with roles in forms based security. I read on MSDN that using windows based security means roles are based on groups, but it doesn't go into any detail. how can I restrict access to Safe/UCantSeeMe.aspx?

View 3 RepliesI have a few pages that need to use SSL and I am confused bc I read you should set the forms authentication section in the web.config to use SSL. so if this is the case, the user logs in (login page is using ssl) the forms auth cookie is created and now if i redirect to the non ssl enable home page, does this mean the auth cookie will not be transmitted, so i can't display like a welcome module or know the username of the user who logged in?

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.

View 4 RepliesHow to protect our web.config file from external access.
I mean some sort of password protection.

If I set EnvironmentPermission, can I block user to access the content of web.config?

View 3 RepliesI am new to developing asp.net. I have a Microsoft Access database file (.mdb) I am including as a data source on a form. This populates a drop down list on the page. When I run the page in a browser it immediately asks for authentication. If I put in my windows username and password the page pulls up fine, and the drop down is populated with the data. If I don't, it just give me a 403 error and says I'm not authorized. I cannot figure out how to make this page stop requiring authentication. I have only tried one thing. In the web.config file there is an attribute called authentication. It was set to "Windows" I tried setting it to "None" but that did not appear to have any effect. It still asked for my username and password. How can I make an asp web page using a Microsoft Access data source not reqire user authentication to view the web page?
