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 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
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'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.
We also have sales rep that take call and use the same website to take the orders.
My boss wants me to allow the SR to only be able to take orders if they are in the network itself. When I ask why he tells me "just because".
I'm sure there's a way but I can't see it at the moment. How do I go by doing that? Also keep in mind that if the SR is outside the intranet, he can't be allowed to enter his active directory login/password (so the login window must not even show).
I am working on an intranet website using ASP.NET and was wondering what exactly I can gain by enabling roles when Windows authentication is enabled for my website. I can check if users belong to groups with the User object so why would I need to enable roles given that windows authentication is enabled?
View 1 RepliesI've a project using windows authentication and it will be used in intranet. The client itself already have a web application in their intranet and they built it with Java (they used windows authentication too). The problem occur when they want my web application only appear within their application content section.
What should I do? I did think about using iframe but some people said it's evil. And if I'm going to use iframe, is it save? My web application will use a few pop up window/modal window and ajax.
i m trying to set up an Intranet site with Windows Authentication. I have configured the web.config as shown below.
<authentication mode="Windows">
<roleManager enabled="true" />
I wanted to do authorization by roles so
<authorization>
<deny users ="?"/>
<allow roles="D820MySite_Developers, D820MySite_Admins"/>
</authorization>
I'm in the D820MySite_Developers group. When I attempt to login, it wants my password. I thought that with Windows Authentication it should not prompt for the password. If is use <allow user="*"/> it does not.
1. Is this the correct behavior?
2. My aspnetdb does not appear in the App_Data folder. Should it and is this causing the problem. If it should be there, how do I get it there?
3. I was under the impression that by using Windows Authentication, I can prevent users from accessing pages by folder. Is this provided by IIS or is this provided by Windows (using Windows Explorer)?
I'm trying to set up Windows authentication on an intranet site. I have this code in the web.config:

</authorization>
</system.web>
I can log in with my own credentials, but I have virtually all the rights in AD. User2 can not log in. The website is set to use Windows authentication in IIS manager. And I've tried setting permissions in IIS manager and NTFS permissions for the folde
We 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 2 RepliesDo any of you guys have experience using Active Directory and the Intranet Zone to silent authentication with a local web site? I've done it in the past with 1.1 and 2.0 .NET, but this 3.5 site I have written doesn't seem to be working for some reason.In the past, how I have done it is:
In web.config, set:
<authentication mode="Windows"/>
In IIS 6, under directory security, check Integrated Windows authentication and Digets authentication for Windows domain servers, and set the realm to my domain, and uncheck Enable Anonymous access.The I add the Host Header for the site to the corporate Intranet Zone in Internet Explorer under trusted sites using Active Directory.And that's basically it. I've done it on plenty of intranet sites before, but with this 3.5 application I am still being propped to login. Anybody see any steps I missed?
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 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 are migrating existing windows form application to asp.net(3.5) intranet portal, there is a requirement whereby database connection should be made by the logged in windows user. Is it possible to achieve this functionality?
View 1 RepliesI have an an intranet website running under IIS6 (under a specific port, not the default one) with a integrated windows authentication enabled and uses an application pool configured with a service account. the issue is, if I access the website using the server name with a fully qualified domain in the URL, it throws a login prompt (doesn't work even if enter my windows login credentials), but if I use the IP address of the server then it works fine. I need to do to get the URL with server name working.[URL]

View 1 RepliesThe company I work for has a web app running on IIS that has been strictly internal (uses a port other than 80 not accessible to the internet). Recently we started using mobile devices and need to access it over the internet. So I simply made it part of our company web site and secured that portion using forms authentication. The problem is that it is also our home page in the office and it is a pain to be logging in several times a day. In fact some of the staff are irate they have to login in at all when at their workstations. Is there a way to by-pass authentication when the referrer is http://servername/ and still enforce it when accessed via http://www.domainname.com?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to build a web app for an intranet site that for security reasons needs to make the user type in their Windows or Active Directory username pwd manually. I have previously worked with Integrated Windows Auth but in this case, we do want them to use type in their AD credentials.
I have been trying to look up how to do this and frankly I am a bit lost. It should be a fairly straightforward task and am hoping you can point me in the right direction, with some tutorials or examples. We will be using SSL so, dont have to worry about passing pwd in cleartext over the wire.
My environment is visual studio 2008 in C#, .net 3.5 if that matters.
