I have a mvc2-website with windows authentication.
<authentication mode="Windows" />
<authorization>
<allow users="*"/>
</authorization>
In IE the website keeps asking several times for my credentials per webpage. In Firefox it works correctly.
I have an intranet web application, where i have windows authentication = true in web.config. I hear from end users that the website is aksing for their login credentials and they don't like it. By the way i am getting theusername from HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name and Domain Name from Mid(UserNameID, 1, InStr(UserNameID, "") - 1).In IIS, anonymous access is unchecked and Integrated wnidows authentication is selected.
View 9 RepliesI have a zealous network administrator who insists that we must use https on an intranet web application in order to safeguard user's credentials. The app is an asp.net web app that uses Windows Authentication to automatically identify users and log them in. There is no login dialog and user's never enter their login or password. The application does not process any confidential data, and the only rationale for requiring https is to "safeguard" users credentials. Additionally he stated that ntlm can be easily hacked.I responded with some information from an MS white paper on Windows Authentication that said it was the recommended way of authenticating users, and that user's credentials were safe because their passwords are not transmitted across the network when the application authenticates them since it sends a hash of the password.

View 2 RepliesWe are having an issue with the windows authentication and IIS restart for asp.net application Our environment is an intranet site (an asp.net application ) that uses windows authentication, uses integrated security application pool, physical path credentials are set for a service account, who is admin for sql server, IIS etc. web.config - Connection string has Integrated Security = true, authentication = Windows, and authorization - deny *, allow = security group. Anytime we start - stop service (or restart) (IIS); and hit the website thru some other machine IE, it fails to show the website (401.2), and any subsequent hit to the website doesn't go thru.
However when we start the service, and hit the website on server's (where website is deployed) browser first time then everything works fine for subsequent hits from anywhere as long as authenticated on corp net and member of security group configured in web.config. This behavior however goes away if we uncheck the configuration "Enable Kernel-mode Authentication" on the asp.net application. ( but then Firefox browser stops working with this configuration!!) Why such behavior? In the documentation it states its recommended to keep it enabled. What is recommended way of publishing a website with windows authentication enabled? Any side effects of "Enable Kernel-mode Authentication" being unchecked ( other than what we found for firefox not working) Environment : IIS 7.5 windows 2008 Server R2, VS2008, SQL Server 2008, ASP.NET 2.0
I have an interweb web application that uses Active Directory to authenticate the user. Im now getting some complaints that users on other domains are unable to access the application.
How can i make it work so that their domain name is also accepted by the application?
Just to describe the scenario. I have a website. This lives on a webserver. On that webserver is an SQL server. The website connects to this database using windows authentication. I have written a windows form application that connects to the SQL Server on the webserver. This application is being run from a location on out intranet. The Winform application use SQL authentication to connect to the database. The SQL Server didn't have mix mode authentication enabled. So I enabled it. The winform application could now connect to the SQL Server.
This is where it starts getting a little strange.
The Website that was already connecting find using integrated authentication starts failing with:
Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE'
When you are enabling mixed mode authentication, you are adding another authentication method, why would the original Windows authentication fail?
We have developed a website in asp.net using windows authentication and deployed it on the intranet (IIS v6.0). Most of the times, when users try to access this website they are taken straight to the website, but occasionally some users get a prompt to enter their windows username and password. I understand that this could be caused because of several reasons like:
Cached active directory password. Recently active directory password changed. Active directory account locked out. I want to fix this issue for good because it is annoying the users.
I have an XML web service where the authentication used is BASIC WINDOWS. Following is my client code to connect to the service.
[Code]....
Now, the issue is that the client is really authenticated only in the first attempt(First time I execute the code in VS). Further attempts succeed even if the code to assign credentials is commented or even after providing wrong user id/ password. I ensured that the server is hit each time(Just to make it clear that it not just because of client side caching).Is this the behavior of Basic authentication/credential cache. I would prefer the client be authenticated each time he hits the server.
I am trying to force to show to the Logon popup when the session is timeout in Integrated Windows Authentication Enabled website. The session_timeout is firing during the session timeout, but the User.Identity.IsAuthenticated is true. How force to use the Windows Logon Screen when the session is timeout.
View 4 Replies1) I have an ASP.NET website which is the main entry point in the application.This website uses Forms authentication, which validates credentials (username/password) against a database. 2) Once logged on the website, the user is displayed a page containing several links which point to a Sharepoint 2007 application, where authentication is managed by an Active Directory. 3) Every user in the Active Directory is duplicated in the database managing the ASP.NET website authentication.
View 1 RepliesIs the above possible? Basically i need it as I am creating a site where users can upload files to a shared network drive which is secure and has a system account
When a user clicks on upload file, If possible I would like the page to automatically kind of log in with the system account, copy the files and then log off. I know I could achieve something similar mapping a drive but would prefer not to do that for these reasons;
- Security risk if the mapped drive for some reason isnt removed by the code
- User may not have the drive letter free.
I have a web form and code snippet for it is below:
<body>
<form
id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<h5>Welcome
<%= System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name
%>.........
But when run my web application, i m getting message "Welcome NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE " and not the current windows user name.
To work with the ASP.NET 2.0 Membership and Role, we will use Forms authentication for the public Internet.
On the other hand, we use Windows authentication for Intranet applications. uestion: In a website with Windows authentication, can I still have some kind ofole management for different
groups of the Intranet users? If yes, how?
We have created an Intranet Web Application with Windows Authentication.
That asking a prompt to get Username and Password each time when we access the application.
How can we restrict that prompt other than IE --> Security --> Custom Level --> User Authentication.
(Because, with this option we need to set these settings in each and every user's system)
I'm trying to enable automatic Window authentication working on our ASP.NET Intranet. I've changed the Authentication on our IIS 7.5 server from Anonymous to Windows Authentication Enabled only, and changed the Web.config file for the website to:
<authentication mode="Windows" />
<authorization>
<deny users="?" />
</authorization>
The Windows login box appears when accessing the website via IE 8, I enter valid credentials, but the login window keeps reappearing as if it does not accept my credentials. By repeatedly cancelling the login box it disappears, and my login name can be viewed on the website. Is there any possible reason for the login box to keep popping up even though valid credentials are being entered? I've restarted the servers / cleared browser cache etc. Also, ideally I would like the user to enter the login details once in the login box and not be required to reenter login details whenever he reopens the browser.
I have set up a directory on my IIS web server that is protected by "Integrated Windows authentication". I want visitors to be required to enter a name and password to view files in the protected directory except if they are following a link to files in the protected directory from a certain page on my website.
I am doing this to try to get better protection from search engine spidering than is provided by using a robots.text file.
I am using ASP.NET 3.5 with VB. I am wondering if there is a way to pass the log on credentials to the IIS server via a link, or if there is a way to fill in the name and password for the login screen automatically, or something else that would work. It is OK if the login name and password are visible to the visitors.
have a form based authentication login that access MySql to validate the credentials entered.I was wondering how you would encrypt the password??
