Security :: How To Get Access To Aspnet_regiis.exe On Remote Machine
Jun 9, 2010
i have created a bat file to run the aspnet_regiis exe to encrypt the connectionStrings of web.config file on the remote machine. the same is working when i ran the file on remote machine itself. but is it not working when i call it from another bat file from my local machine which is shared with remote machine. my code loos like:
We have staging server and production server for website. We will move the changes from the staging server to the Production server through the FTP.
Since we have the product release for every 3 months. So, we need to redirect to the latest version in the Production server IIS. Is it possible to access the Production server IIS and redirect the web site link from staging server ?
I am creating a folder on remote machine,for that folder i gave acces permissions. even though when i submit my form it is giving below error.
No accessible overloaded 'SqlCommand.Transaction' is most specific for these arguments: Public Sub set_Transaction(value As System.Data.SqlClient.SqlTransaction) Public Sub set_Transaction(value As System.Data.Common.DbTransaction)
However, when I ran this, I got the following error:
Could not create Windows user token from the credentials specified in the config file. Error from the operating system 'Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.
I looked at this post

It seemed to suggest I would need to create a new account on the remote server. Is there a way I can just use an existing domain account?
I would like to encrypt the connectionstrings section in my web.config file using the : ASPNET_REGIIS utility However I'm running Windows 7 pro, that is without any IIS.
Is it possible for me to do it.
The path (on my local pc) to the website containing the web.config file is like this:
C:UsersmyUserDocumentsVisual Studio 2010ProjectsmyWebsitemyWebsiteWeb.config
I need to restrict access to my website by physical PC. When a user signs up I want to be able to restrict access to one machine for that account so it cannot be shared round, if, for example, somebody else in the same office wanted to access the system on their PC they would need a seperate sign in.
I have done some investigation and I "think" the only way is installing an ActiveX component (which isn't an issue that is restricts to IE only) and then read the users MAC address. Am I trying to over complicate things or is that the only way? I realise that MACS can be spoofed but this is not much of an issue.
I want to access some places on a remote machine.The folder i want to access have full control to EVERYONE. The code given below is used to access network path.

The application run fine if both the host computer and the remote computer to be accessed having os windows xp .The application also run fine if the application is running inside visual studio .
Then my problems is ,any one of the machine( server and remote machine)having an os newer then windows xp( like windows 7, server 2008) locationInfo.Exists always false.
I am working with SFTP applications also i am having one scenario. I have to search particular format files from remote machine and also need to store or copy the corresponding files into local system.
We are using user credentiaal to connect with remote machine
I'm trying to deploy a website stored on a network shared storage. My problem is that I am unable to load assemblies that reside on the remote machine.I load some assemblies by using
assembly = Assembly.LoadFrom(Uri.UnescapeDataString(new UriBuilder(satelliteExpectedLocation).Path)) where the satelliteExpectedLocation is in the form "file:\10.0.0.85 mpappinMessages.resources.dll". I got a FormatException on this one, so I modified the path to read "file:////\10.0.0.85\tmp\app\bin\Messages.resources.dll"
Now I get a "System.IO.FileNotFoundException".I read on MSDN that the "File" scheme is to be used for resources on the local machine. But how should I get the resources on the network share?
I have a asp.net web app and a windows service running on separate machines. How can i enable the windows service subscribe/listen to events raised by the asp.net app on the remote machine? What methods can i use?n example of events that can be raised on the asp.net app is a user uploading a file. Once the upload has completed the windows service should be notified so it can do some work. It seems that there needs to be a layer in between asp.net and windows service, possibly another windows service or WCF app? Or plain old polling through a shared database containing the state?
I have log files in different machines. Now i am developing a web page in my development machine (Windows XP, IIS 5.1 installed). In the web page i want to give a link(may be hyperlink or linkbutton). On clicking the link it should access the log file in the particular machine and it should give a popup with open and save option as given in the normal web applications. I am using the following code snippet but its throwing error "Cannnot resolve the URL"

I have some shell scripts on a Windows 2003 server. These scripts process some flat files and upload data to Oracle using sqlldr. Currently I'm using telnet to go into the box and run each of these scripts manually. Is there a way that these scripts can be run from a ASP.Net/Winforms application?
I have a project that must illustrate that connection to the database is not locally, so I have install VirtualBox and I intend to install SQL Server on it. So any one have the idea of how can I connect from the Host Machine to the SQL Server located on the Virtual Machine
Windows 7 64bit running microsoft visual studio to develop an ASP.NET web application in C#.
Production:
Windows Server 2003 : Microsoft.Net V3.5 : IIS
Application:ASP.NET web application with forms authentication using an Active Directory provider to authenticate against our domain controller. Once authenticated users can select reports which populate a gridview with data from an SQL database.
Background:The web app works flawlessly on development and production. Users can navigate to, authenticate, and access all information on the web app.
Due to sensitive connectionString and active directory provider information in my web.config file we have decided to encrypt those parts.
After researching different methods we chose to do a machine level RSA encryption.
The method which we are following in CMD:
1. cd c:windowsmicrosoft.netframework"version"
2. aspnet_regiis -pc "containerName" //this creates the key container
3. aspnet_regiis -pa "containerName" "NTAUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE" //this creates an ACL for the NETWORK SERVICE user to be able to access the container and decrypt the web.config file
4. aspnet_regiis -pef "connectionStrings" "C:inetpubwebsiterootdir" -prov "provider" (where provider is the name of the encryption provider in web.config) //this uses the encryption provider to encrypt the data then storing the key in the container that we created in step 2.
5. Repeat this process for any other sections of web.config with sensitive info.
The website is over half way done and the functionality for the blog is (except for adding posts) is already implemented and working correctlyI have a SQLExpress 2008 backendBlog posts are rendered on the page with full HTML markup within a label control.
All of the above is done and working. Though I am essentially new to creating websites with ASP.NET, CSS and SQL, I am sure that I could simply carry on and make a login page with some controls that would allow me to add records (blog posts) directly to the database on the host server. However, I am fearful of doing this because I know that malicious code can be passed in this way. Also, because of my lack of knowledge, the only way that I know of to pass the code from a control to the database is to disable validation for the page the control is on. Without a doubt I do not want to do that.
So what are my options for getting blog posts into the database? Is it safest for me to fully create the post in html and update a copy of the database that resides on my local machine? If I do it this way, how can I merge the records from the database on the local machine with the records on the remote server?
i install iis in windows7home premium .after that i will select vs.net2008 command promtin that i typed aspnet_regiis -i.It will giving error like ASP.Net Setup Custom actions has stopped working ..please give reply for my problem..
I am trying to encrypt a section of a web.config file in the root of a virtual server. The server is not the 'default server' in IIS, so aspnet_regiis -pe "appSettings" -app "/" doesn't work as it defaults to the default web site. Also, the source code is access through a UNC path and is load balanced across multiple servers (web farm environment). aspnet_regiis -pef "appSettings" "\UNCpath" fails, stating "The configuration for physical path '\UNCpath' cannot be opened. The user account that I'm running the utility as, has rights to the path. I found one post (from very early .NET 2.0 days) that indicated that you could use
But this syntax returns an error stating that "The value used in the -app parameter must begin with a forward slash." Can anyone tell me what the correct syntax would be in a case like this?
