Trying to restrict access to folder but can't?
I am ristrcting access to the Account folder using below:
<location path="Account">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<deny users="?"/>
<allow users="*"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
and access to the Default.aspx using
<location path="Default.aspx">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<deny users="?"/>
<allow users="*"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
but how do i restrict access to a specific file in the Account folder rather than the entire folder?
I tried the following but did not work
<location path="AccountChangePassword.aspx">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<deny users="?"/>
<allow users="*"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
How can I Restrict Access to an specific folder, for example I have a folder that Authenticated users upload different files in it. the problem is that every user can access the files via URL in the browser.I don't use asp.net login controls for authenticating and role memberships, I have written login page and roles my self via code behind.

View 3 RepliesI need to restric access to my admin folder to certain people. Those with no authentication ticket should be redirectered to a "not allowed page". How do I identify all pages in my admin folder. I have so far but is it OK?
If url.Contains("/admin") Then
'If authentication ticket incorrect then
`Response.Redirect("~/notallowed_admin.aspx")`
End If
And not, I cannot use my web.config for this particular issue.

So this URL cannot be open what I can restrict this URL .....
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 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 RepliesI 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 just started to use asp.net mvc.
I have read this article about using ntlm authentication
[Code]....
it provides access to specific domain users

I want to restrict access to all my domain users only lets say
[Authorize(Domain="redmond")]
or do I do it via web.config
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.
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.
I am trying to access a shared folder which is located on a different server rather than on the asp.net server.
I configured windows authentication and set impersonation to true. Also try with enable/disable basic authentication.
I have tried the following:
with a mapped driveshared folder access (\sharedfolder)virtual directory pointing to shared folder with pass through configuration. However none of the above works. I am getting "Access Denied" error when trying with shared folder and virtual directory. In the case of mapped drive getting "Not Found" error.
I have a folder that cannot be accessed by anyone except the management role of my web site. But, I added a folder to this and it can be accessed by anyone.
Of course, I can explcitly set the access to only a specific role(s) but I would like to know if I can tell set it so that even folders nested inside a restricted folder can take on the same permissions settings as the folder in which it is nested.
how can we set grant or dynie access or permissions to folder by programming c# in asp.net?
View 5 RepliesAt first I got an error that the user did not have permission to read the config file (web.config).
So I gave NETWORK SERVICE and IIS_IUSRS read on the website folders.
But now vistors can not access images and other static content from the Content folder without logging in. Aspx and .ashx content works however static content is redirected to the login page.
I wrote a web service sometime back, and uploaded to one of our network Server's IIS. The webservice needs to access a network folder, which was working perfectly fine till a month ago. Now, when we use the webservice in our .Net application, it fails with the exception message "Access to the path '\<networkMachine ><Folder >' was denied" (may be some group policies changed). But when I run the webservice from my local machine's Visual Studio debugger, it can access that folder. What could be different on the server's IIS w.r.t. my service? Why was it able to access the network folder before but not now? Please note that I can manually access that shared network folder from my machine, and also when I remote desktop to that <networkMachine> from windows explorer.
I saw in the task manager on the server that the IIS process w3wp.exe is running under 'NETWORK SERVICE' account. Though the network folder is not shared specifically with this account, but that has given read & execute access to 'Everyone'. Then what is the problem that it cannot access the folder. By accessing I mean creating a 'DirectoryInfo' object of the path '\<networkMachine ><Folder >' and reading all the subfolders -

I have a folder with username and password over it.I wanna make a page where i can access files under that folders in .net and be able to download them.How to code that in VB.net?
View 2 RepliesMy restricted files are all stored in ~/Secured folder on the root. Authorized users have no trouble accessing aspx files in that folder. Recently I added a part of an application whose files I wanted to keep separate and created a ~/Secured/HR folder. I am getting a "resource not found" error trying to use any aspx file in HR folder even after user successfully logs in, as if the file does not exist at all. Here is my web.config security settings:

Do I need to configure security for that folder separately?
the only way to make themes work is to allow user "Everyone" to access the folder App_Themes. I am wondering if a more specific user instead of "Everyone" can be granted the access to allow themems work.Account "IIS_IUSRS" and "NETWORK SERVICE" have already been granted access.This is about folder access of Windows 7 running IIS7, not web page authorization configured via web.config. The web page is browsed via local host (i.e. the web page address is something like "[URL]
View 1 RepliesI have a web app, which contains a folder Uploads, to which users (authenticated) upload their files (for some reason it has to be a folder in the root of the web app).I want to deny access to this folder and files to all non-authenticated users.
In my web.config I have:

and everything seems to work in development, but on a staging server it redirects non-authenticated users to login page ONLY from aspx pages, but not when entering the url to the file in Uploads folder.
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 set up a secured folder in my website. When I access this folder via web page, it pop up a windows login form to ask for user name and password. I would like to code the asp.net page or java script to access this secured folder with username and password without pop up the login form. find the method for asp.net page accessing the secured folder automatically.
