Security :: Unable To Encrypt Web.config ConnectionStrings In Web Application Project
Nov 28, 2010
I'm all set on the server side with the RSA key pair installed. Where I'm hung up is trying to get the job done on the web.config file ... can't seem to get the aspnet_regiis command string right. I am using the command string provided by the web host (DiscountAsp.net). Most (all) of the examples I read use a website on the development machine. I actually registered my project in IIS and tried that but it didn't work. In any case I would rather not have to go to the hassle of registering a project in IIS anyway if I can avoid it.
Details:
My web application project is in a folder on my local machine:
D:Projects<project name>
This is most recent (failed) attempt to use aspnet_regiis:
C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv4.0.30319aspnet_regiis.exe -pe "connectionStrings" "D:Projects<project name>"
Is it possible to just do this manually by looking at the NetFrameworkConfigurationKey_xxxxx.xml file and entering the values? Seems like it should be do-able except I'm not sure how to parse the xml file for the correct values.
On a related note, when I add the following code to web.config it "announces" that "The keyContainerName attribute is not allowed". Ditto useMachineContainer
[Code]....

I fully followed the steps in this page [URL]
look at the step 5 at "Using the Example Provider in an ASP.NET Application" element , I entered the command "
aspnet_regiis.exe -pe "connectionStrings" -app "/SessionState" -prov "TripleDESProvider"
" at the windows command line, it asked me "The protection provider 'TripleDESProvider' was not found"
I make sure the files keys.snk and keys.txt are in the same folder and the file web.config is correct. Who can tell me the reason for the error and how do I handle with it?

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 have looked for ideas on this and read several posts but none of them seems to be because the problem is that web.com (my host) doesnt allow us to update web.config on their server programmatically. I can use example codes and encrypt them on my local pc but heres the error i get when I run them on the live site:
An error occurred loading a configuration file: Request for the permission of type 'System.Security.Permissions.FileIOPermission, mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed. (machine.config)

I use visual studio 2008 login controls to build up a login web page and have a hosting MS SQL with godaddy. After the login page is finished, I went to server explorer to publish DB to provider and save it in .sql. Then I went to godaddy hosting and executed the exported query. I also added the following connectionstrings to the web.config
<connectionStrings>
<remove
name="LocalSqlServer"/> [code]....
When I run the website, I received the following error
Configuration Error

Question 1: I have also copied membership,profile,rolemanager from .NETconfigmachine.config to web.config but it didn't solve the error.Question 2: Can I use this built in control with its express DB or I have to create one by my own? What should I do in web.config for connectionstrings?

Any section in my web.config file that I want to encrypt I run this command line util:
aspnet_regiis -pe "anySection" -app "/SampleApplication"
It all works just fine until I try encrypt my connectionStrings sections
I define (and I cannot change this) my connectionStrings section like this:
[code]....
Is there a way of doing this using the aspnet_regiis util? Doing it with code is not an option for me.
Also is there a way to run this untility without specifing the application (-app "/SampleApplication") instead giving the path to the web.config file?

I got this error in a project I did a while back. I think this was a web site project that i converted to a web app project. This was a while ago. This is an app I'm trying to run on my local machine. I'm not using IIS.
Does anyone know what this means?
Error 2
It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level. This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS.

I am writing a login routine that uses a .NET login control and I have a membership provider as well and set it all up in the config file. But I don't plan on using a connection string as I will be calling a web service in my ValidateUser function. Do I need the connection string in the config because it seems to throw an error if I don't have it.
In that case if you need it then wouldn't it be better to treat this membership provider class more as a normal class and just make calls to it directly like any class and not put any setting on my login control and remove the entry from my web.config

For example, I have these connectionstrings in my web.config:
<add name="xxx1" connectionString="..."/>
<add name="xxx2" connectionString="..."/>
I want to put 2 connection strings into my aspx.cs page; xxx1 and localsqlserver. I tried to do:
string strConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["LocalSqlServer"].ConnectionString;
strConnectionString += ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["xxx1"].ConnectionString;
but it cannot "detect" the LocalSqlServer. I am trying to populate a GridView with fields from 2 different database, hence I need 2 connectionstrings. Example of my SQL statements:
string strCommandText = "SELECT aspnet_Users.UserName, TableA.Field1, ";
strCommandText += " FROM aspnet_Users, TableA, TableB";
strCommandText += " WHERE aspnet_Users.UserID=TableA.UserID, TableA.ID=TableB.ID";

I have two connection strings being used:
<add
name="db1"
connectionString="Server=localhost;user
id=root;password=;persist security info=True;Database=db1"
providerName="MySql.Data.MySqlClient"/>
<add
name="db2"
connectionString="Server=localhost;user
id=root;password=;persist security info=True;Database=db2"
providerName="MySql.Data.MySqlClient"/>
I would like to have two different Role Providers using these connection strings:
<roleManager
enabled="true"
defaultProvider="rp1"
cacheRolesInCookie="true"
createPersistentCookie="false"
cookieProtection="All">
<providers>
<clear/>
<add
name="rp1"
type="MySql.Web.Security.MySQLRoleProvider,
MySql.Web, Version=6.1.3.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=c5687fc88969c44d"
connectionStringName="db1"
applicationName="test"/>
<add
name="rp2"
type="MySql.Web.Security.MySQLRoleProvider, MySql.Web, Version=6.1.3.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=c5687fc88969c44d"
connectionStringName="db1"
applicationName="test"/>
My application starts with a login screen. Based on what the user selects, I would like to control which database to connect to. (DB1 vs DB2). The problem is, when the application starts the Role Provider defaults to "rp1". Is there a way I can change the default provider during runtime?

I'm trying to encrypt the connection strings in my web.config. I'm following:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2w117ede.aspx
however when I get to the part with the command:
aspnet_regiis -pe "connectionStrings" -app "/MyApplication" -prov "MyProvider"
it keeps complaining:
"The configuration for the virtual path '/MyApplication' and site 'Default Web Site' cannot be opened
Failed to map the path '/myapplication'
Failed!
I'm fairly sure I've followed the instructions correctly. I created the project named 'MyApplication' directly in the 'C:' root.
Perhaps I should be following a different set of instructions?

I am tasked with migrating a copy of our live website to the local drive so that changes can be made. Most of my focus has been getting the web.config file to work on the local drive.

I have a small windows forms application that uses the membership provider that is defined in my app.config file. I want to get rid of my app.config file and initialize the membership provider completely from code. The reason behind this is because I want to be able to dynamically connect to different databases containing asp.net user tables and I want the user to be able to enter the desired database information into a text box at run time. Is this possible or is it required that I have an app.config file?
