I have just started to use asp.net mvc.
I have read this article about using ntlm authentication
[Code]....
it provides access to specific domain users
[Code]....
I want to restrict access to all my domain users only lets say
[Authorize(Domain="redmond")]
or do I do it via web.config
Currently in my application using LDAP to authenticate user to a specific domain & then i check if the user exist in my site database.
Now i need to also allow users who do not belong to this specific LDAP domain to access my site ..How can i make it possible withoput affecting the exisiting users?
I have an intranet web application. There are 2 user groups, group A belongs to the domain and group B does not. If I set the IIS to enable anonymous access, Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER") always return nothing. If I disable anonymous access and set Integrated Windows authenication, a Windows login prompt will come up if group B's users want to access the website.
How can I setup IIS so that when domain user access the website, it will direct to the main page with Session("user_name") = Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER"). If a user is not a domain user, the website will direct him/her to a login.aspx instead of having the Windows authenication prompt, then set Session("user_name") = txtUserName.Text, and finally redirect to the website main page ?
I am developing a website that has 2 roles of users.i have made 2 folders for each type of user's web pages. how to imply security so that 1 type of user could not see other user web pages.is thier any other way or i will have to check form the databse for credidentials every time the page is visited?Also let me know why do people put web pages in folders?i am not using sql membership and not even .net classes for role management.
View 7 RepliesI have a login form and users have to enter their username and password for entering the sites ..

But i want to restrict the users ..only allow them to access the menu componets after login ... If they tries to access the contents a text have to display ask them to login
how can i do that... i am using vb.net as my language in the page
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?
View 4 RepliesWe deployed our usercontrols (gridView, textboxes & button) on sharepoint 2010 site, & everything works fine.
Now testing team are able to alter the viewstate value of controls through Fiddler and changed it with some junk characters, now after submitting
the form to server, it throws Invalid JASON Primitive (server 500 error)
In web.config file, by default EnableViewStateMac is true.
Is it any way to restrict the users or any way to stop the postback if some one alters the viewstate.
I am trying to create a diary site which will allow users to enter rich texts (text, picture and video links...) and the outcome for each page will be an html file being saved under each users profile folder.If I create html files for every user entry, then these pages can be accessible if the path and file name is known for them... I am trying to have some secured html pages so that only the owner of those pages can have access to them after logging in.
View 7 RepliesI'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 1 Repliesis there a way i could find out how to get all the users in a group on my domain, i have a domain called "cot", within that domain we have multiple groups like "RO,Admin,PM,SPM and 2 or 3 more", i need to get all the users in a particular group, i am using vs2008 and coding on webforms with c#, i have tried various example i could find online but none have worked for me so far.
View 3 RepliesI have the IIS webserver on Domain A. I have many users on Domain B, C, D, E.
I've set the NTFS security permission for each user and his/her domain to the webserver's security ntfs permission folder. But it is still not authenticating. So what do I need to do to enable this feature? I am using windows 2003 webserver.

Trying to restrict access to folder but can't?
I want to secure a particular set of files in a folder by role type. I have the following entry (See below)...I notice this doesn't work (I.e., it doesn't secure the file by Role Type.. anyone can access the file). I've read that I need to map the .WMV extension to the ASp.Net DLL.

I have a security issue in my web application where user can enter malicious data/can change the page path directory. To avoid these i want to restrict the user by accessing/typing in the URL.
View 5 RepliesI am faced with a rather tricky issue. I am developing a web application that resides beneath a web site. The web application is actually meant for the employees of the company owning the web site. The employees can access the web app from the login facility on the site.
The situation demands that an employee must be able to login to the app only from the office machines and not from anywhere outside. I thought of a logic where in the IP address of the machine in which the employee sits will be stored against the employee profile and when he logs in, the authentication will check for user credentials as well as whether he is logging from the designated IP. If not he is not allowed access to the app even if the login credentials where correct.
I am not sure if this is a good way, because I feel tricky persons can give the same IP of the office machine in another machine, say at home and the logic is broken. Can somebody provide me a better way of solving the issue. I am using ASP.Net login control for user login.
Allow Admin Users to Access Basic Users Accounts?
View 4 RepliesI have been trying to perform security validation in a page using the credentials of the domain users ...
However, when I try to get the value in
Code:
HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name
is always returned blank.
PS: When I run the code in the IDE is returned "domainuser" ... but when the page is hosted on a IIS server, the returned value is always blank.
i would like to be able to do is to, lets say i have 10 users running a web application , how can i get the names of all these users. There names , logon times and any other info availabel.
i would like to get this data into a dataset and just bind to a gridview .
I am deploying a public ASP.NET website on an IIS7 web farm.
The application runs on 3 web servers and is behind a firewall.
We want to create a single page on the website that is accessible only to internal users. It is primarily used for diagnostics, trigger cache expiry, etc.
/admin/somepage.aspx
What is the best way to control access to this page? We need to:
Prevent all external (public) users from accessing the URL. Permit specific internal users to access the page, only from certain IPs or networks.
Should this access control be done at the (a) network level, (b) application level, etc.?
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.
Im working on an application that has a login section that accepts a username and password. On successful login a userid is returned and encrypted with TripleDesKey. The user details are then stored in a session object. We already have a class library that performs encryption and decryption using a key in the web.config file. I basically want to be able to access the user details of the currently logged in user in a page accessed from the main site that may be in a different domain, but is effectively part of the same site, so I wont have access to the session object from the main site. so basically a user logs in, I have the user details stored in a session object, I also have access to the encrypted userid also in a session object. If a user then clicks a link to another page that is in a different domain, how do I persist the userID?
I suppose I could I tag the encrypted userid to the querystring, but security could be an issue here (even though the id is encrypted, someone could still modify it)
Server A exists on domain A and server B exists on domain B. From server A I need to output file names that exist on shared folder on server B. I tried the following with no success (Access denied error):
DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo(@"\serversharedFolder");
After some Googling I found that I need to use personlization to impersonate an existing user on Server B that has access to that shared folder. I used a C# personlization class as explained on codeproject (http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/cpimpersonation1.aspx). I supply the domain, the user, and the password and hope to get access to the shared folder BUT the error I see now is"Login failure: unknown user or bad password".
I am 100% sure that the domain, user, and password I supplied are correct. When trying to access the share via windows explorer from server A I am prompted for a username and password. After entering domainusername and the password I have access to the folder. So I know that the credentials I supplied are correct.
Am I going about this the right way? I have full access to server A and B so maybe there is an easier way to accomplish my goal.
How can I access the cache of one web application/domain from another web application/domain?Here is my scenario. I need to verify/check the existence of a certain object in one web application/domain's cache from another web application/domain.
View 1 RepliesI've been researching and I've spent pratically all day on this. Here's my issue. The website uses forms authentication that we authenticate against active directory. I've been attempting to access files we have on a network share and push them down to the user (when they request them) in an http response. I keep getting "Access to the path <unc path> is denied".
Here's the code:
[Code]....
Things I've tried:1) When I add the "Computer" to the permissions of the folder it works and I dont even need to emulate a user (essentially just commenting out this code), but I'm not sure we want to explicitly give the computer access to some of our network shares 2) I've verified it's the correct username and password for the active directory account and that they have permissions on these network shares 3) I've fooled around with the WebProxy class with no luck (as I'm not entirely familiar with it) 4) I've tried impersonating the user by creating a windows token and passing the token as credentials (i've done this with similar websites) with no luck, plus this seemed a bit complicated for something I figured would be relatively easy.Its almost as if, the WebClient class isn't even using the credentials i've passed it.We've got it working now, but only by giving the "Computer" specific permissions on the network shares, which we'd like to avoid.
I have a web app were every user has its own folder so that they can store documents. What i would like to do is protect a user's folder so that only the owner can access it.
Example:
Username: ricky
Folder: ~/Files/ricky/ --> Ricky can access his folder but can't access Diana's
Username: diana
Folder: ~/Files/diana/ --> Diana can access her folder but can't access Ricky's
I'm using membership provider for the user authentication.
