Security :: Roles Not Applying In Web.config (NTLM Authenticated Users)
Jun 3, 2010
I am not able to allow/deny users based on roles in the web.config (using <location path>). The following does not work even if the user is in the 'Admin' role:[Code]....
I am able successfully execute IsUserInRole() and GetRolesForUser() in the codebehind and get expected results. The same applies to the web.sitemap, adding roles in there do not seem to apply to the user even if he is a member of the role.
Here is my web.config (trimmed some sections out so it's not too long):[Code]....
I've a default.aspx page in my application's root folder. I added a a page in the root of inetpub that redirects requests to the default page. The idea is that the user need only enter the server name to get to the default page. How can I set things up so that all users have access to the default.aspx and that they only have access to the other pages once they've been authenticated?
I am using Windows Integrated Security and the users are being challenged and authenticated properly. I want them to be able to access Default.aspx without any challenges.
(On a side note which may answer this question, when using WIS does the user *allows* have to be challenged? Isn't it possible to pass through their Windows User and ID without the prompt?)

I currently use Roles / Access Rules to control access to my website. This work fine for folders, but I'm not sure how to implement this on individual aspx pages.
Scenario: I have folder that I granted access to everyone. I have one file that I only want members of the Admin role to be able to access.
How can I accomplish this? I would like to avoid putting this file into another folder.
I'm setting up a new web forms app and want to use ASP.NET membership. All my users must be authenticated. What is the best way to implement this?I'd love to deny all unauthenticated users in the root folder of the app by setting this in web.config but then where would I put the login folder? I'd like the login folder to be a subfolder of my root folder so that the URL can be www.myapp.com/login/Another idea is not to put the restriction in the web.config but put the logic in Session_Start in global.asax but I really like the idea of controlling who can see what using web.config files.
we want to have a fronend to a custom databasince, since I do have experiance with HTML/CSS and have used VB.NET before, I'm the one that gets to make it.
problem is, the one thing I have not used before is the autentication system in ASP.NET, I want to use single-signon for the system.
and I do have this right now, the only problem I have is how do I check if a user is logged in, and change the page content for autenticated users.
the template does have this:
[Code]....
which does indeed change the login view, problem is, how do I change this to change the pages and menu.this:
[Code]....
has to be a longer menu that also gives options to insert data into the database and/or remove/update the data.
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'm NTLM (authenication="windows" in the web.config) with an asp.net mvc 2.0 site. Right now once a user logs in it keeps them logged in for weeks at a time. The use of the application is being opened up to users who share computers that use logged in service accounts. I need the site to reprompt each user for their AD credentials each time in order to handle these users. (Activity on the site must be linked to a uniquely identified user.)
I'm workin with Visual studio 2010 and I'm trying to create an ASP.net Web Site, language used - C#
I have 2 different pages, for 2 different users with 2 different roles.Each page has a textbox.I have already created them.What I want to do, is to make a bind between this 2 textboxes, so that the second to get the first boxes' text.I managed to do it, but only if the textboxes are on the same page, very easy (Textbox2.Text=TextBox1.Text) . But how to do it for 2 different pages, for 2 different users with 2 different roles?
Another trouble would be....How can I connect the both users same time....after i start debugging the project, I do a sign in but when I sign in with the second user,the first is automaticly siggned out and the text it's lost.Then, how can they synchronize and the second user see what the first one wrote,using that 2 textboxes? Wich is the solution?
I am trying to implement a page for an admin to edit other users details including roles and profile. I have a custom profile provider that stores data in database. My implementation is a page that shows username and allows an admin to reset user password, unlock users and approve and disapprove the users. I wanted to add a column in the gridview to allow the admin to remove or add a user to a role with the constraint that a user should be added only to one role.
How can I authorize and authenticate users by roles? I have roles table and user's table, role Id is the primary key in the roles table and foreign key in the user's table.
I need to create a site that is Roles based and can use AD groups and Users. I found Scott Mitchell's tutorials for setting up "role-based-authorization-cs" [URL]
I've changed to using Windows auth. instead of forms and am pointing it to a remote SQL Database. I can successfully add a user/password/email etc. (although I believe the password and email sections aren't required and would like to remove them as options).
When I create a user (usera) and login to a windows box as usera the menu displays correctly based on the Roles I've added the user to in the SQL Database.
When I add an AD Group and add it to the same Role the menu's that are displayed do not match that of usera.
I'd like to be able to add entire AD groups (They can obviously change so it needs to be dynamic in some way), as well as add individual AD users to Roles. I'd prefer to do this via a Web interface.
My questions are.
1. Am I going about this the right way?
2. If I'm not what would be a better way?
3. If I am what do I need to do to allow ADGroup lookup?
I am using ASP.NET Membership with the default provider. I have a project where there are 3 different applications(seperated by the applicationName). Now I need every user to be able to log in to all the applications, but have a seperate role in each.Is this possible(I dont want to duplicate user details or logins for the same person)?
i hve 3 applications with membership providers which are wrking perfectly.. i am storing the users , roles , profiles etc in the same database as for the each application. now i want to store users roles etc in a single db n application data in separate db.. how can i shift existing users from current db to new db without re-creating them ..
I quickly setup Roles to get my site up, but now I am going back and tightening them up. I have a custom SQL Server database Provider to hold users.I want 3 Roles, Admins, Progress and then a standard User.I have all the files only Admins to use are in a folder SecureAdminI have all the files only Progress to use are in a folder SecureProgress And all the files that everybody has access to are in the Secure Folder.As soon as I added the Custom XML Site provider, my Tree View disppeared. I would assume it's because my roles are not configured correct. I can use the ASP.NET configuration tool to see my roles and users, but any combination I try in there doesn't seemto do anything. I see most examples have some code like below.
[code]...
But even when I set up some roles in the ASP.Net configuration, I never see anything like that added to my web.config? Is this because it is stored in the database? If not, what what I add to my web.config to make this work?
I am newbie to asp.net.I want to create roles for the existing users in my database. I dont want to use the membership provider database n roles provided with it.(i don't want to use aspnet.mdf at all)
I am create roles for my existing users n assign i wanted to assign the particular roles to a particular assign.
I have a site witl forms authentication using te login control. I altered my sql server, I added a connectionstring and used the connectionstring in both, <rolemanager> and <Membership>. That part of the web.config is listed below.
The problem is that the login control goed to SQLserver to check the users and their passwords, but it goed to the SQLExpress database for the roles.....
I have set up a very simple authentication page where the user enters his password and if successful authentication occurs the program allows the user to make use of the controls in the page.
I used ASP.Net Configuration to create the user and roles, SQL Membership Provider for the authentication tables and asp login controls to authenticate.
Is there any way to add users and roles once the project is deployed? Could I use the ASP.Net configuration page? and if so how?
I'm trying programatically to create a new user, that's working OK on it own, but whenever I add the following line to my code, it seems to create two new members with the same name in my aspnet_Users table?
I have a web.config file with <authorization> section. I'm using window authentication.
The problem is that I would like to allow access to the web site to those users who are in multiple roles.
For example:
<authorization> <allow roles = "Role1 AND Role2"/> <deny users="*"/> </authorization>
(Meaning I would like to allow access only to those user who are both in Role1 AND Role2.)
Is this possible to achive this?
If not, what would be the alternatives?
Note: Currently I'm doing the roles assignment in the Global.asax file in the OnAuthenticateRequest event (i'm reading the groups that the current user belong to in the Active Directory).
Initially, in my solution I had one project, and had set up all that is required for asp.net security, and that includes users and roles and access rules, etc. All of that was and still is working fine.
Now I added another project to my solution, and my first project points to pages in the second project.
The problem is that it seems like the users and roles are not being transferred accross projects. Not sure if I am explaining my problem correctly...if not, feel free to ask...
Its my first time trying to manage users and roles accross projects within a solution.
I am creating a Web Application in asp.net 2.0 and sql server 2005.I want to use an existing database.
I have created a login and a signup page. Then i replace the new SQL database (the one that is created automaticly by the visual studio) with the exiting database I have.If I create a new user, the new user goes to the database and I can login with the new user. I cannot login with the existing users.If I go to the asp.net configuration, I only can see the new users I have created, I cannot see the users that were in the database already and I can't see the roles also.
I can I make the new application to recognize the users and roles of the existing database?
