Security :: Could Not Establish Trust Relationship For The SSL/TLS Secure Channel With Authority
Jul 25, 2010
i have a web application that is using a https webservice and for accessing this webservice i have installed the PFK file into the mmc console in the personal storage folder and also installed in IIS. After installing the PFK file the properties of the installed PFK file shows a warning that "Windows does not have enough information to verify this certificate" but the installation is done with success. After this i go to add the wsdl to my project as service reference, but it shows the error "Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel with authority". What is the solution for this?
My company has developed a .NET web service and a client dll that uses that web service. The webservice is hosted on our server over ssl and the cert is provided and signed by GoDaddy. We have some clients in a hosted environment that are getting the following error message from the client dll when it tries to access our web service.
System.Net.WebException The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel.
Our fix has been to have them open IE on the server, which is a challenge in and of itself for a lot of the hosted services, and go to the WSDL url. IE then prompts them with a security alert dialog. It says the cert date is valid and a valid name matching the name of the page, but was issued by a company you have not chosen to trust. When they click Yes to proceed, the client dll can then succesfully connect to the web service and operate as normal. why GoDaddy would not have been in there valid publishers list? All of the servers we have running has GoDaddy as a valid authority. I'm guessing, for security reasons, they've uninstalled the authority for GoDaddy, but not totally convinced that there's not some other underlying issue.
Unfortunately, I haven't had much luck trying to recreate this locally. If I go into Internet Options and remove the GoDaddy authorities and hit our service, ssl works just fine. I go back into the list of publishers and GoDaddy gets put right back in. So my second question is, How the heck do you get rid of GoDaddy so I can get an invalid cert warning?
Okay, last question. Is there a way in code I can tell the web service to ignore invalid certs. I've seen some posts on doing this programatically with WCF but not old web services.
If I just have ADProvider1 it works, when I add ADProvider2, even though for testing I only use ADProvider1 I get an error: "Unable to establish secure connection with the server" Am I adding the second provider to the membership section incorrectly?
I have a .net web app hosting in IIS6 with Windows Authentication and anonymous access disabled. The web app is making connection to a SQL Server that is in the same domain, but on a different machine.
I want to have the IIS Worker process acount I_USR_... to be granted access to the SQL Server.
Will this work ?
(Is there a one to one trust ? Or should I make some extra effort to make the trust work ?)
(edit) On this page I read:
IUSR_ must be in the domain, and given proper access to the SQL Server; or, you must disable anonymous access on the site / application - which will allow IIS to pass the users' credentials to SQL Server. Not doing either of these things will result in an error.
We're having an error similar to the one detailed here. We get the error noted above when trying to do AD authentication from our .net (3.5) mvc 2 app. This is our first .net mvc app ...
http://forums.asp.net/t/1161047.aspx
- We are re-using a forms auth library written for a .Net 2 app
- that library/app/config used a service account with min. privileges for binding to AD
- This error occurs in VS 2008, have not tried deploying the app to a server yet (a little early for that)
- like the other user at the previously referenced thread, I can get the 'unable to establish ...' error to go away and display the log on page by putting *MY* credentials in instead of the service account (but not successfully authenticate)
- moving the service account into the same AD OU as my account does not seem to change it ... only using my account credentials does.
- trust level is set to full
Is this some odd permissions trick that is new with .Net 3.5 (even though the ADmembershipProvider is still a 2.0 libary)? This should have nothing to do with MVC itself.
Config looks like this (very standard, like every one else's)
[Code]....
The line/portion highlighted in the debug/stacktrace is:
We have a ASP.NET site that partially depends on forms authentication for login credentials, however the implementation of IPrincipal is completely custom.
But, when running the site on a particular server (which is somewhat semi-hardened when it comes to security), the app crashes when invoking IPrincipal.IsInRole() with the following messsage:
System.SystemException: The trust relationship between the primary domain and the trusted domain failed.
This indicates a communication error between the web-server and the DC, however since our application doesn't at all utilizes Windows authentication, I don't see why it needs to communicate with the DC.
This is my implementation:
[code]...
EDIT:
I was finally enable to reproduce this error on my dev-machine (i revoked my machine from the DC yesterday, but didn't reproduce it until today)
HttpContext.User is actually a WindowsPrincipal by default it seems, and the error in my code was that I only replace it with CustomPrincipal upon login. Hence, unathenticated users still get the WindowsPrincipal which then fails horribly if you have trust issues on your AD.
I tried changing the default principal by invoking this on appstart
i had NT authority user account on the web server (or simillar priviallge account with sid like s-1-5-21-1311... ).
recently, due to security issue, had to remove this account and the application hosted on the webserver stopped working.
the issue seems to be with the database connectivity. not able to analyse the issue as, this occuring only on production and not on development server.
I have a custom mini login user control that I have embedded in the top of my website which shows on every page. These pages are non-secure HTTP://. I would like to avoid having to redirect the user to a HTTPS page to perform the login but I definitely don't want to send login credentials to the server in plain text.
I am trying find a method to send the user's login credentials encrypted via https from a non-secure (http) page.
I tried to set the postbackurl for the login button to itself but in https, but the user's input is not retained and the buttonLogin_click is not fired when I set the button postbackurl property. My ASP.net web application is VB.Net framework 4.0
I am assuming this can be done because I see lots of websites where login fields are on available on every page and they are running http and I can believe they are not encrypting the login credentials.
I've created an ASP.Net 4.0 web application. It uses Forms Authentication. I have an ASPNETDB.mdf file in my App_Data folder courtesy of SQLEXPRESS. I have appropriate settings in my web.config for connection strings and providers (since I know it will be asked for:
I have roles and users setup. I have been running this with absolutely no problems in both my dev environment (i.e. Cassini) and on a "production" (not really, but a machine that was published to). And the "production" machine still has no problems.
So, everything has been working perfectly fine until early this afternoon and all of a sudden it all stopped. The only things I did from when it worked until it stopped was: I connected to and checked in all my code to a TFS server (2010) and then I updated namespaces all around. I have not made any changes to my web.config since it worked, nor to the database. I'm really not sure what happened. Oh, and the "production" machine never got the namespace updates. But, it did get a publish immediately before I uploaded everything into TFS.
It started with me getting a login failure in my app. I know the login is correct (it still works on the published system). So, I went into the Website Admin Tool and clicked onProvider Configuration -> Select a single provider... -> Click on Test next to AspNetSqlProvider (only option). I get back an error: "Could not establish a connection to the database." So, this tells me that for some reason, it can't see my database. All my roles and users still show up though in Security.
Since these two actions, I have wiped out all my code locally and refreshed from the first changeset in TFS. Still no workie. I still get the "Could not establish..." in WAT. Every post I can find online keeps talking about connectionStrings and database configuration (i.e. aspnet_regsql). However, since this was just working with no issues, I'm pretty sure none of these are my problem. Especially since I refreshed my code to an earlier "working" state (prior to namespace changes) to no effect.
I am not yet at the point that I'm willing to wipe my database and start over. Again, because this was working before. I have noticed and read several posts by Sukumar Raju among others (including his blog posts, one here) and none of them helped or were quite related to my specific issue. Good information, but not what I needed.
I'm sure something went offline somewhere and I can't see it. I did check to make sure that the SQLEXPRESS services (including Browser, etc.) were started. Even restarted them to no avail. I'm sure it has to be something simple and I'm just missing it somewhere.
Could not establish a connection to the database. If you have not yet created the SQL Server database, exit the Web Site Administration tool, use the aspnet_regsql command-line utility to create and configure the database, and then return to this tool to set the provider.
I don't know where to go next as this error message does't give many leads. I have already configured that database with the aspnet_regsql tool. In SQL Mngt. Studio I can see that the database aspnetdb has been created. I'm not sure where to go from here. The only connection string in my web.config file is the one for connecting to my content database.
Currently I'm learning on one of Joe Stagner video "SEC-009-CreateMembershipSchema" I followed exactly as told except for that Joe's is building the database in his JoeStagner server and not JoeStagnerSQLEXPRESS. But in my case I built my database in my MACHINENAMESQLEXPRESS. Another different thing is Joe's using SQL Management 2005 and I'm using the free version of SQL management 2008.
So I followed every step, inch by inch but when I tried to run a test on the AspNetSqlProvider, I'm getting this error Could not establish a connection to the database.
If you have not yet created the SQL Server database, exit the Web Site Administration tool, use the aspnet_regsql command-line utility to create and configure the database, and then return to this tool to set the provider.
here's the connection string I added in just like in Joe's video
I have a question with this tool. I have a database listed in the App_folder, and the database has a connection in Server explorer. The connection string is listed in the web.config file, and I am able to add users and roles with the Web Admin Tool. However,when in the Web Admin Tool, under Configuration tab, I receive an error when I click on the "test" button. The error reads " Could not establish a connection to the database.If you have not yet created the SQL Server database, exit the Web Site Administration tool, use the aspnet_regsql command-line utility to create and configure the database, and then return to this tool to set the provider."
I am building a web site and am trying to run the web site administration tool.
I have reinstalled SQL Server 2008 express and have run the command line administration utilites. When I try to run the administration tool, get the following error when I click on the security tab is
Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed.
I have ensured that I have user instances are enabled
When I click on Choose Data Store I get the following error
Could not establish a connection to the database.
If you have not yet created the SQL Server database, exit the Web Site Administration tool, use the aspnet_regsql command-line utility to create and configure the database, and then return to this tool to set the provider.
We have an ASP.NET web application that has been around for over 4 years now. The web app uses ASP.NET role management with a custom role provider. The custom role provider connects to a database which includes tables for Users, User Groups, and Roles, with a table linking roles to user groups.
Over the years the application has grown in functionality and roles have been added. We now have around 30 roles and there is a complaint that it's not clear (due to lack of documentation, bad naming or whatever) what functionality a particular role gives a user.
Is there guidance on how to make the relationship between roles and functionality more transparent? list out the application functionality in another table and create a relationship between Role and Functionality. The application security would then be programmed against the items in the Functionality table, and the relationships between role and functionality could be maintained through a UI.
To me this approach doesn't quite fit with the concepts behind ASP.NET role based security. All the framework code methods refer to roles, e.g. "RoleProvider.IsUserInRole(string username, string roleName)" and:
I have my membership provider configured and working on my web host.
IŽd like to create a table, for example, table ARTICLES, and iŽd like that the user logged in, his ID or his NAME, was inserted into my ARTICLES database.Which one is the best table i could get for doing that ?
I was checking the table aspnet_users, but its Primary Key has a uniqueidentifer type.This wonŽt be a problem in the future ?Or is there a better way to relate my table with the membership provider ? Maybe another table OR another field.
I have to host a wcf service in a medium trust environment.I want to know which bindings are supported while hosting WCF services in medium trust. There is a MSDN article
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb412171.aspx which talks about partial trust. I am not sure is it the same as medium trust.
I am trying to use SqlCacheDependency in my web site.I got in touch with my hosting compnay and they said that they support cache but they set the trust level to medium and what I try to do needs full trust level whihch they cannot provide for me.
can someone show me a way or a code samples that use SqlCacheDependency with medium level trust?
the broker is enabled in the hosting sql server
this code raise the error that the hosting providers said that they cannot support in medium level:
I download a webchart.dll file and used it in my application. Everything went right on my local machine. But issue came when i uploaded the file on the server. I am getting trust level medium issue. The assesmbly doesnot run on medium trust level. How can i run assembly in medium trust level.
I have an unsigned custom assembly, that has been deployed to the bin folder of my website. Trying to access a page that explicitly serializes a list using LOSFormatter produces the following exception:
System.Security.SecurityException: Request for the permission of type 'System.Security.Permissions.SecurityPermission, mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed. at System.Security.CodeAccessSecurityEngine.SpecialDemand(PermissionType whatPermission, StackCrawlMark& stackMark) at System.Security.CodeAccessPermission.DemandInternal(PermissionType permissionType) at System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.ObjectWriter.Serialize(Object graph, Header[] inHeaders, __BinaryWriter serWriter, Boolean fCheck) at System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter.Serialize(Stream serializationStream, Object graph, Header[] headers, Boolean fCheck) at System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter.Serialize(Stream serializationStream, Object graph) at System.Web.UI.ObjectStateFormatter.SerializeValue(SerializerBinaryWriter writer, Object value) The action that failed was: Demand The type of the first permission that failed was: System.Security.Permissions.SecurityPermission

I contacted my Hosting provider, and this was the reply:
This error is coming because your DLL Imbibe.DNN is developed in Full trust. We don't support full trust on shared server. You need to re-compile it again under medium trust. Now, what I am not aware of any option for compiling an assembly for medium trust. Can anybody here please desrible, how do I compile an assembly specifically for medium trust? I added the AllowPartiallyTrustedCallers attribute to the assembly manifest, but it did not resolve the problem.
We just moved our site (still in development) to a new hosting company, on a medium trust shared environment. We setup the databases, aspnet_users tables etc, but now our page that handles new people signing up doesn't work. It contains a simple standard <asp:CreateUserWizard> control. However, this page is not working since the move (the rest of our pages are working). We get this compiler error:
Request for ConfigurationPermission failed while attempting to access configuration section 'system.web/machineKey'. To allow all callers to access the data for this section, set section attribute 'requirePermission' equal 'false' in the configuration file where this section is declared.
Apparently the hosting company is using the default medium trust .NET settings. We have no idea how to get around this since we've always developed on full trust dedicated server environments. Is it simply a fact that the <asp:CreateUserWizard> control does not work in medium trust, or is there a way?
i wrote all my code on my computer so i had a high trust level, after ftping my site and database to godaddy.com i realized they have a medium level trust enviroment.... i called the tech support and they said they were sorry but they couldnt change it for me... heres my code. any idea how to get it to work in medium level trust? I am trying to create a new directory where all of a users upload goes. The folder is created dynamically when the upload page loads.
I've developed a dot net website that runs fine on my localhost. When I upload it to my ISP on a shared hosted site, I receive the following: "Required permissions cannot be acquired." I've been informed that I need to change my website to medium trust. Can someone get me started in the right direction on how this is done? When I add <trust level="Medium" originUrl="" /> to the web.config it won't BUILD on my local host and when I add it to the web.config on the shared site, it gives me"This configuration section cannot be used at this path. This happens when the site administrator has locked access to this section using <location allowOverride="false"> from an inherited configuration file."
On my PC everything is all rigth but on the webserver I get an error: 'OrderBy' is not a member of 'System.Array', maybe due to the trust level. Is there I way to bypass this or I have to resign myself to it?
