Security :: Failed To Decrypt Using Provider 'MyEncryptionProvider'
Mar 5, 2010
Ok this one might be a bit tough to figure out, but each day when users open their application the following error is generated and they can not enter the application: "Failed to decrypt using provider 'EncryptionProvider'. Error message from the provider: The RSA key container could not be opened." Guess what fixes it... I have to open the application 1 time and then all of the users can being to open the application. This is not an issue with the encryption/decryption of the .config never having worked; it works just fine - but not all of the time. It sounds like a permissions issue to me, like me opening the app grants access to the key file for a time period, and the next day the issue starts all over again. Here is what I have already done (actually when I set up encryption originally), as the many, many posts with this issue are resolved with, but none have worked:
- aspnet_regiis -pa "MyWebKeys" "NT AuthorityNETWORK SERVICE"
- aspnet_regiis -pa "MyWebKeys" "ASPNET"
- Gave ASPNET account read access to "C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersApplication DataMicrosoftCryptoRSAMachineKeys" folder
- Gave NETWORK SERVICE account read access to "C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersApplication DataMicrosoftCryptoRSAMachineKeys" folder
I did not do the following, since I am not using the deafult machinekeys, but rather the imported "MyWebKeys" container
- aspnet_regiis -pa "NetFrameworkConfigurationKey" "NT AuthorityNETWORK SERVICE"
- aspnet_regiis -pa "NetFrameworkConfigurationKey" "ASPNET"
Here is how the file is encrypted:
aspnet_regiis -pef "appSettings" "C:MyProject" -prov "MyEncryptionProvider"
"MyWebKeys" are an imported key container on the server, that upon importing reside in the default "C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersApplication DataMicrosoftCryptoRSAMachineKeys" directory. So it appears I have covered everything, right? What am I missing? Do I have to add individual users or groups with the pa command that use my application to allow access to the container? Remember the encryption/decryption does work 95% of the time. It just seems that each day in the morning, I must open the app once prior to the users being able to open the application, which tells me it is a permissions issue because I am an Admin on the server and they are not, but I thought all of this runs under the NETWORK SERVICE account anyways?)

Parser Error Message: Failed to decrypt using provider 'WSConfigProvider'. Error message from the provider: The RSA key container could not be opened.
I am trying to copy a website from one server to another, however I am getting the error above
<connectionStrings configProtectionProvider="WSConfigProvider">
Line 51: <EncryptedData Type="http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#Element"
Line 52: xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#">
Line 53: <EncryptionMethod Algorithm="http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#tripledes-cbc" />
I have copied the entire site so cant think what file it could be missing, however looking at the article [URL] .... I cannot seem to find the location Documents and Settings{UserName}Application DataMicrosoftCryptoRSA on the server, where would this be on a 2008r2 server? And is there some files in there missing which could be causing this error?

I'm teaching myself ASP.net. I'm creating an application that needs to store sensitive data. So, I found the following Blog to encrypt and decrypt data.
[URL]
I'm sure it's my app, but I wanted to make sure I'm not missing anything obvious. For some reason, my app and Encryptor only works when I pass < then 7 characters. If a pass 8, it doesn't commit to the database. If I remove Encryptor, the app will store

Due to a bug in Flash, I have to use the ASPXAuth cookie to log a user in on a page that a flash upload script calls after upload. See this page for more information: [URL]
I have to make the ASPXAUTH string "public" in the sense that it will be in the HTML of the page. My question is, how secure is this?
I understand that anyone that can get to the string in the HTML can probably get to it from the cookie just as easily, but let's say someone does have this ASPXAUTH string. Is it possible that they can login as another user using this cookie? Would they be able to decrypt it?

I am runnign the SQL 2005 with Membership structure and two web-applications on the same server box. Each web application uses its own Application Name in aspnet_Applications table. There are two application names.
The users from web-app1 could not login to web-app2. Each web-apps uses different Application Pool. Each providers section of Membersip use correct applicationName from aspnet_Applications. The first application is working correct.
The problem is that sometimes the users could not login to web-application 2 during day. I get error Event code: 4006 Event message: Membership credential verification failed. The users start to login again after I Recycle - Stop - Start Application Pool of this web application.
