Security :: Folder Security / How To Block Anonymous Users
Jan 12, 2010
I have a web page where I am denying anonymous users from accessing. In the web site I have a folder called FileManager. In the web app the usres have the ability to uploaded files and when they do a folder gets created under the filmanger and the files are saved. I have created a web.config in this folder that denies anonymous users. The problem is if the user knows the directory structure they can type in the url of the site add /FilManager/x/x/NameOfFile, where x are the sub directories. If the file is an image it shows the image in ie, if it is a .xls or .doc or what ever they get the prompt to either download or save the file. What am I doing wrong. Will the web.config file not stop an anonymous user from access files? I put a webpage in the folder and it is blocked and the user gets sent to the login screen, but files seem to be unsecured.
How do I block anonymous users from being able to access the files in this folder?

I am using windows authentication in my web application. All we need is when the application will be executed it will launch login.aspx page. If users put correct userid and password(checked from active server directory) it will be redirected to a difference page. But if any unauthenticated user tries to access any other page in the application by typing the Url on the address bar it will be again redirected to the login page. We have to do this by changing our web.config file.I can achieve this using form authentication but not windows. But our requirement is windows. The requirement is very basic but all effort is just not working.

I have a problem in my asp application. In my application I have an own authentication mechanism so in the web.config file I have <authentication mode="None"/>
Inside the application users can upload files to the folder I've created (App_Files). I would like to give access to the folder only once they are logged in (Session["Login"] is no null).
I dont want not logged in users to be able to access the files over a url address in the browser (like http://<server>/App_Files/Filename.pdf)

I am using the membership provider and am reasonably comfortable that all of my web pages are safe.Some of the pages contain hyperlinks to documents (pdf, xls, etc.) stored in a folder under the root of the web site. I have disabled the ability of users to anonymously list folder contents, but I don't see a way to keep anonymous users from accessing the documents if they know the specific URL for that document. Example; if the document contains a spreadsheet of current sales, I don't want an ex-employee (who captured the URL while working here) to be able to bring up the current document.asswording the documents isn't a good choice because there are hundreds and we'd like to avoid changing them all every time someone leaves, or weekly, or whenever...Is there a way to restrict access to all contents of a web folder to people who have been authenticated?

i used security in login page which restricts all users who have not logged in to all pages. I need to restrict specific users to specific pages. I'm not using AspSqlService provider. So i cannot create roles and restrict automatically. And the pictures i use in login page are not visible @ runtime.

Working on my first asp.net webpage. i have followed video tutorials and implemented asp.net membership for login/security.Using Visual Studio 2010 i can open the Asp.net configuration page for management locally.But then if I want my site admin to manage users/security online, how is this done? Like manage through a web browser. I guess this asp.net configuration GUI is not available on the internet?

I am creating an application hosted on GoDaddy.com. The base files are kept in a folder called /sky while the Admin files and User files are kept in /sky/Admin and /sky/User respectively. I'm having difficulty configuring the security so that when a user tries to access Admin or User files they should be redirected to the login.aspx file in the /sky folder. I keep getting an error that its trying to access sky/sky/login.aspx instead of just sky/login.aspx.
Here are the relevant sections of my web.config file.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
...
<location path="sky/admin">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow roles="Admin" />
<deny users="*"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
<location path="user">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow roles="Admin,User" />
<deny users="*"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off" />
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms name="login" loginUrl="login.aspx" />
</authentication>
...
</system.web>
...
</configuration>
Can someone point me to articles or provide assistance with the proper configuration?

I have a web site that is using Windows Integrated Security for authentication. Under the site in the IIS there is a virtual directory that inherits these security definitions. Assuming I have several pages under the virtual directory, is it possible to apply anonymous access on on 1 (one) of them?

If you use anonymous access + impersonation of a windows domain account to access a file on a network share, is the password sent in clear text?

I have a folder called /Error in the root directory for an ASP.Net site. The site is completely public, so there is no authentication of users. Inside the Error folder, I have a file called errorlog.aspx, where I log unhandled exceptions. I don't want the public to be able to view this file. I created a web.config file inside the Error folder.
[Code]....
However, I'm still able to view errorlog.aspx by typing the URL into the browser. What am I missing?

I created a folder called Admin and I created a webpage in there that I can edit my data table that I wanted to be able to edit when I am logged in as a user with Admin role thats working... well it works...

Im designing a site where registered users can upload their own images that should be displayed to any visitor. However the images have to be approved by an admin. So when the images are aproved they will show in an image gallery.
My problem is how to protevct the images from browsing. I dont want anyone to be able to just write in the folder url and broswe through all the images.
My questions:
1. If i store the images in the app_data folder they will be proteceted from browsing directly. But they cant be used in an webpage that is public either, correct?
2. If i store them in a public folder the images can be used to display on a public page, but even the images that are not aproved will be accesible if one knows the url to the folder or the image itself, correct?
3. It wont help if i secure the image folder with roles cause then the images will only be accesible by the user that is logged in and is in the proper role.

I'm doing a project in component management system. I need to block executable files from getting uploaded. Blocking should not be based on the extensions. For example, i've a file named abc.exe i'm going to change the file extension to abc.jpg in this case that abc file should not get updated. Similar to that in gmail file attachment.

On my website, www.pakdev.net, I create screencasts to which are streamed through silverlight.
I create a custom handler to block the download of .wmv files from the url like [URL]
But the problem is now the silverlight has also stopped streaming files.
