Security :: Web Service Can't Find Registry Sub Key?
Feb 15, 2010
I have a .Net web service which is being relocated onto a Windows 7 machine running IIS 7.I have set up an application under the default web site and pointed it to the correct location, however when I try to execute a call to the web service, I get a message as follows:
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Server was unable to process request. ---> System.ArgumentException: Registry SubKey softwareardexconnections.net not found.
In the past when I had this error, all that has been required to fix it is to set the permissions on that registry sub key to allow read access to the anonymous IIS user. I have given the Everyone group Full Control of this sub key in an attempt to get it working but I still get the same error.This is my first experience with Windows 7 and IIS 7 and it seems quite a bit has changed, so I'm probably missing something.
I create web service for Reading and writing the registry. It works fine in win-xp. But its not working when I published it in win-2008 server. It shows me http 500 error.
It seemed to be the right place to post to.My problem is that when I try to read registry key, I get null value, even if it exists (regedit shows it exists).Application is windows service with Log On As Local System and registry key im trying to read is in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREClassesCLSIDOn my development machine (x64 win7) it works fine. But in live server (x64 windows server 2008 r2) I get NULL.ese operating systems should have similar policies or does Local System on server 2008 have any restrictions i should know about?
Security Exception Description: The application attempted to perform an operation not allowed by the security policy. To grant this application the required permission please contact your system administrator or change the application's trust level in the configuration file. Exception Details: System.Security.SecurityException: Requested registry access is not allowed.
guess it's straightforward. On page load, i wanna check the group of which a particular belong to. Say, someADNameeckham belongs to Account. In that case, I only wanna get "Account". But I have no idea how to get the group name of a particular user belong to. It's for LAN web portal so I guess security is not a very big concern here.
I am writing two ASP.NET apps. One is a web service that provides xml data and the other is a web client that will use the service to display and manipulate data. I would like for the web service to do the membership authentication and authorization. Is there any way to simply point the login controls in my client application to the web service instead of to a database. I assume I would have to provide the necesarry methods in my web service interface, which would then use the membership provider database I created and pass the results back through to the client.
Is this possible? I have seen many articles on security provisioin from a web service but none has really been what I am looking for. I was hoping that, since my service and my client are both written in ASP.NET, there might be some built functionality that would benefit me.
I have a WCF Service that loads a file located on a local web server. How can I load that file based off an Uri? So I don't have to hard code in the address? So instead of doing a XmlDocument.Load(http://mywebaddress/ConfigFile/config.xml); I could put in or find the current URL of webservice then add the parameter. Sort of like this:
XmlDocument.Load("~/ConfigFile/config.xml"); That way if I'm publishing or Debugging it's all one file in the same exact location.
I have two projects in my solution: MyApp.Domain and MyApp.WebService. MyApp.WebService is a WCF service library. I want to use some utility functions from MyApp.Domain. So in MyApp.WebService, I added a reference to MyApp.Domain. Intellisense picked it up just fine, it recognized the function I need to call. But when I build the solution, I get this error:
The type or namespace name 'Domain' does not exist in the namespace 'MyApp' (are you missing an assembly reference?) at using MyApp.Domain.Utility;
Well since it seems relatively difficult to send the object of a WebControl over JSON using jquery.ajax() I've decided to send the name of the control as a string because I know how to do that. Then I promptly realized that, from a web service, I don't actually know how to search for a control by ID name. Since its a service I can't seem to get Control.FindControl() to work. All I'm trying to do is call a databind() on my radcombobox.
For any of you that knows anything about asp.net/rad controls - I'm basically updating a database and want the radcombobox to be in sync with that database again after adding something, before I autoselect what was just added. Other than databind do i have to call anything to refresh that list?
I'm trying to consume a web service, after adding it to my project,I can't find any method inside,all classes.objects of those classes only contains set and get.Per-method Permissions.
I want to get country name from ip address in asp.net using web service. I used 2 web services [URL] and [URL] but they are not fulfilling my requirement. if my ip address is 212.76.87.27 then it is ok. but if my ip address is 31.167.42.94 then giving me error. I think these web services have not updated Ip address record. Any webservice which has updated ip address record and can return the country name correctly without error.
I have to invoke SSIS packages from web service in the most secure way. I think that windows authentication will be secure but i am not sure. I do not have much knowledge about how to achieve this and the information on the internet is very distributed.
I created a WCF Service Library and there're 2 services (http endpoint and https endpoint) in the App.cofig file. The WCF Service Host had not problem to host the http endpoint but failed to host the https endpoint with these messages:
WCF Service Host cannot find any metadata. Additional Info: The service cannot be started. This service has no endpoint defined. Please add at least one endpoint for the service in config file and try again.
i am using VS 2008, whiile working on the walkthroughs of restful services(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd203052.aspx), i did not find any template for the ADO.net services. Could you please direct me to the link where i can download/install the required template or package.
I have a Library ( DLL ) that has a method with the following:
var masterKey = Registry. LocalMachine. OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Dynamics\5.0\");
When running this method in an WinForms applicaiton, masterKey is not null and when running this in asp.net masterKey is null!
I've checked the executing user with WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name and the same user is executing both applications. The asp.net application is executed in visual studio ( debug: F5 ) and so is the WinForms application. I've set the permissions to none what so ever and this gives me "Access Denied". And when I add the group Users I get null. Which would mean that I can fold up the strucutre and see that it's there, but I cannot access the keys/entried.
i have a site thet need to check some dll file in the client registry how can i check it and if the is no dll how can i add it to the registry c# or javascript.
I'm trying to change my database connection string in my ASP site from being hardcoded. I'm trying to retrieve the informix database directory from the registry, but I get an error saying the following, when I execute the GetValue method.
Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. using Microsoft.Win32; RegistryKey myKey = Registry.LocalMachine; myKey.OpenSubKey(@"SOFTWAREInformixEnvironment"); string informixDir = myKey.GetValue("INFORMIXDIR").ToString(); myKey.Close(); Path:My ComputerHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREInformixEnvironment Key: INFORMIXDIR Value: C:informix
In my code, I need to get the time zone of Venezuela from Registry. What I want is the Index value under the key "Venezuela Standard Time". I use the following code to do that, but seems it do not work correctly. The number returned is "-2147483573", but the correct number is "2147483723".
I've set up a system with forms based authentication and using the asp:Login control. When I put in an invalid password I get the approriate invalid password message. However when I put in a valid password, it does nothing...just returns to the login page again. I'm triple checked the login info. There is no error message, and the invalid attempts counter doesn't increment. When I put a break point in the Login_LoggedIn event of the Login form, it hits it, but User.Identity.IsAuthenticated is false. I'm not 100% sure it should be true at this point, as I'm pretty new to .NET but it seems kind of odd.
My user database is stored in a sqlserver 2005 db that already existed. I've added a new connection for it.In the authorization I have
Is there any other place that makes sense to store credentials for third party APIs that you use to make API calls for Facebook, PayPal, etc.? I'm tempted to store sets of credentials (Sandbox, Live), etc. in my web.config and the in a Profile.cs class create a couple methods to go out and populate the profile custom object's properties with the values from my web.config based on an enum that holds the type of Profile account I want to get details for.
So for example I have an enum for PayPal called PayPalProfileType that has value ExpressCheckoutSandbox and ExpressCheckoutLive
In the constructor I'm passing in one of these values then calling a method SetSandboxValues() or SetLiveValues() dependong in what value was passed into my constructor. The SetSandBoxValues for example would set my Profile.cs's properties like ApiUserName, ApiPassword, ApiSignature with the values grabbed from my web.config in a section that has all sandbox values in my web.config.
