What does
HttpContext.Current.User = new GenericPrincipal(id, roles);
do, so the application can check roles agains roles defined in web.config?
What is called inside GenericPrincipal in order to achieve this?
I have a web site that is using windows authentication. 'Enable anonymous access' is unchecked. It works when I call it through Visual Studio but when I put the site on the server I get the following error:
Unable to cast object of type 'System.Security.Principal.GenericPrincipal' to type 'System.Web.Security.RolePrincipal'.
Here is the offending line:
System.Security.Principal.GenericPrincipal genericPrincipal = (System.Security.Principal.GenericPrincipal)HttpContext.Current.User;
I was wondering what the best way is to replace the genericPrincipal with my own CustomGenericPrincipal. At the moment I have something like this but I aint sure if it's correct.
protected void Application_AuthenticateRequest(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
HttpCookie authCookie = Request.Cookies[FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName];
if (authCookie != null)
{
FormsAuthenticationTicket authTicket = FormsAuthentication.Decrypt(authCookie.Value);
var identity = new CustomIdentity(authTicket);
var principal = new CustomPrincipal(identity);
Context.User = principal;
}
else
{
//Todo: check if this is correct
var genericIdentity = new CustomGenericIdentity();
Context.User = new CustomPrincipal(genericIdentity);
}
}
I need to replace it because I need a Principal that implements my ICustomPrincipal interface because I am doing the following with Ninject:
Bind<ICustomPrincipal>().ToMethod(x => (ICustomPrincipal)HttpContext.Current.User)
.InRequestScope();
So what's the best way to replace the GenericPrincipal?
I'm trying to implement a custom principal and custom identity in a .NET MVC website. I've created a custom principal class which inherits from IPrincipal and a custom identity which inherits from IIdentity.
When a user logs in I set both Thread.CurrentPrincipal and HttpContext.Current.User to my custom principal. When I view either through the debugger the values are set with all the properties.
However once the request is complete and I try and request any other pages both Thread.CurrentPrincipal and HttpContext.Current.User are of type System.Security.Principal.GenericPrincipal and not my custom principal.
Do I need to do anything "extra" to get my custom principal out of the thread or HttpContext?
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.
View 1 RepliesWe use Sharepoint to control our websites. We build the sites, then load them into the sharepoint server. My question is if I use windows authentication, how can I get my role security in my web config file to coencide with the asp.net controls that use the Forms authentication. Is there a differenence? Our security uses a session variable for security but there is no where to set up their permissions except in active directory. I hope this makes sense because I would like to implement the LoginView with Role groups but how can I give them the role="administrator"? Do I have to go into active directory and give them these permissions(would take awhile due to the size of the company)? Or do I have to set up priveladges in the web.config file for each user(difficult I think)?
View 5 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?

We are using membership provider for LDAP authentication. It is working as it should.
But what all configuration settings I have to do so that
all the future requests to this application run under the security context of the Logged in user account not through the some default user set in IIS.
We need to have this working because all the permissions on the database are based on the logged in user.
We are using form authentication for LDAP authentication. And having impersonation = true in web.config.
I have implemented role based security in my asp.net 2.0 vb.net application using windows authentication and the windowstokenroleprovider and limiting access to certain pages using the location tag to specific active directory groups.
The issue is that when a user tries to access a page they are not authorized to view it brings up a login prompt and when it does not pass it takes them to the default page that tells them they are not authorized to view the page. I am wondering if there is a way to throw up a custom page that tells them they are not athorized to view the page that I can incorporate into the site itself with the header and so forth? if this page could come up in lieu of the sign in box popping up as well.

In the Roles table there is Role, and RoleType.
I have 3different roles, 2 of which have sub-roles.
Example
Role----------------------Type
Adminstrator
Subscriber---Basic
Subscriber---Business
I need to implement Code Access Security, and URL based security using the roles & types...
For instance, the (Subscriber/Basic) would need to view a different set of pages, and have different access to things then a (Subscriber/Business).
I think I can handle the Code Access security with a custom attribute, but I am unsure to how enforce a User be apart of 2 roles in the URL Authorization.
I am currently using the web.config to deny/allow access to the directories/pages.
e.g.
/Areas/Admin/web.config
[Code]....
Is it possible to force the user to be apart of 2 roles with this technique?
i used security in login page which restricts all users who have not logged in to all pages. I need to restrict specific users to specific pages. I'm not using AspSqlService provider. So i cannot create roles and restrict automatically. And the pictures i use in login page are not visible @ runtime.
View 1 RepliesI'm working on a website where it should be possible for registered users to upload word documents. The administration of users is done through Membership and Profiles. When the documents have been uploaded, the following needs to be achieved:Non-registered users should not be allowed to download documents I should be able to control which users that has access to which documents I should be able to register which user downloads which documents I should be able to track how many times a document has been downloaded
Can this be achieved be using Membership and Profiles?
I have identity impersonate = true in the Web.config file. I have integrated security = true in the DB connection string in the Web.config file.Before identity impersonate was true,users were able to access the DB through the web service account (seemingly).Now I get an error which says " Login failed for ... " because I am aware there is no specific account for that user in the permissions for that DB instance.I needed to set identity impersonate = true because the web service does not have access to the Active Directory,which I need to retrieve certain user information.
My question is,does identity impersonate = true override the integrated security and attempt to user the authenticated user's account to connect to the DB? Is there a simple way to prevent this in the Web.config itself?If not,would programatically impersonating the user within the Active Directory query functions and setting identity impersonate = false do the trick here?

it is this bit of code that is causing this

My website security is configured with "Windows Integrated Security" only (anonymous is disabled).
I also want to set a specific account to run the w3wp.exe process using the
Application Pool Identity to a domain account.
Running directly from the server works without any problem but from remote computers I always get the authenticaion window then the 401.1 error (after 3 attempts).
It seems that its the combination of "Windows Integrated Security" along with the "Application Pool Identity" that causes the problem. When I disable one of the two it works properly.
My server is Windows Server 2003 R2, running IIS 6.0.
I have an application that has a user Login Control (provided by ASP). I am just now working with the integration of a dataBase created in MS visual studio 2010, to a developed website created in MS visual web developer 2010. My main goal is to create an authentication ticket that enables a user to be able to see a dataBase information only after that user has been successfully authenticated.
Up to now I'm able to see the dataBase when i run the website even if I'm not log-in, how i can create a home page that tells the user to log-in and once that user has successfully log-in it redirects the user to another page where the user can see the database and how I can add information to that dataBase only to specific members
I simply want to know how to manually check if the value a user has provided for the answer to their security question matches their current answer on record. I want to use the build in support of the membership and membershipuser objects.
I see that via the passwordrecovery control that the actual answer can be returned. However I am currently not using this control and it would take a good bit to integrate it as it does not meet our user's requirements.
In a worst case scenario, getting the actual answer (like the passwordrecovery control does) and manually checking it in our application would be acceptable.
A best case scenario is some sort of API where I can pass in the user name and the answer to their security question that was provided and simply get an indication of whether answer was correct or not.
Working on my first asp.net webpage. i have followed video tutorials and implemented asp.net membership for login/security.Using Visual Studio 2010 i can open the Asp.net configuration page for management locally.But then if I want my site admin to manage users/security online, how is this done? Like manage through a web browser. I guess this asp.net configuration GUI is not available on the internet?
View 4 RepliesI'm hoping this is a simple configuration setting that I have incorrectly defined. I have an application that has a secure (members) area. If a customer tries to browse directly to the secured page (http://www.mysite/members/memberpage.aspx) asp.net loads up my login.aspx page. When the user successfully authenticates from the login.aspx page in they are taken to the secured page they originally requested (so far so good!).The problem I have is that I run some SQL using the User.Identity.Name on the secured page as a reference to who the logged in user is. This way I can show some customer specific information. When I take the login route outlined above, the SQL doesn't seem to run (or the Session Variables aren't loaded yet?)... my page loads up with no customer information in it. If I browse to another page and then back the customer information shows up and all is well.

My website has authentication service for my clients, each one he has his own user name and password. After I introduced a new member, my database collapsed, may be this last member is a hacker. Is their a way to improve security vulnerabilities to prevent future attacks. May be through web.config, could be encrypted.
