Security :: Setting Up Form Authentication For A Specific Folder?
Oct 5, 2010
I have an "Admin" folder in my application that will include pages that I would not like to have anonymous access to. When a user attempts to load a page that resides in this folder, I would like to redirect them to a login page. Here is what I have in my config so far.
How is configure my both web configs to solve my issue. currently i am getting following error
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.
my root web config has default settings and my Admin directory has following settings
I would like to add form authentication only on Admin folder.
when I add this into Admin/web.config
[Code]....
I'm getting this error:
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 have a problem with forms authentication. i have a website and want to restrict access to an especific folder. i want the access to this folder be made via the login form this is what i have in the web.config
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 have a web farm web project, and want to make sure windows authentication is working well without any problem in web farm, can any one give me some web sites or information about that?
I needed information regarding the capabilities & integration of AzMan tool with Asp.net.Currently, I got a Sharepoint 2007 website along with ASP.NET 2008 where I am using Form Based Authenication.Now, the requirement is any user within a domain registered in AD should be able to login in website through intranet.
Can I acheive this using AzMan, or I need to create two websites one with FBA for internet users and the other one for the intranet users with AD authenication. Also my intenet website is deployed and in use where usermapping and roles are already created, so using this tool what will be the impact on existing webiste.
I want to use the login component with forms authentication, but i don't want to use the whole package. I have a database with users in it, and i create the users manually, through another section of my site. I will authenticate them using my own functions, in the Authenticate event.
But, specifying the forms authentication in web.config, i seem to recall having seen somewhere, that i could add pages that were protected, while the rest of the site wasn't.
How do i do this? Currently, i have only 1 page that i want to protect.
I'm trying to get a website that has anonymous authentication for most of the site, but windows authentication for a sub folder.I've turned off anonymous access in IISEnables basic or Integrated authentication (tried both)Used this in web config to give all users access to main site
I am trying to implement forms authentication in my application. It has a folder named User and an .aspx Page named Welcome.aspx. I am trying to restrict Access to this page by directly typing address in the browser. For this I have done following setting in web.config:
It works fine for the first time and redirects to Login page when I type the URL directly in browser. But when I press back button in browser and again try to redirect, this time it redirects to Welcome.aspx. How can I avoid such a situation (Don;t want to disable back button). Also If i try to Set Location Path="User", it gices error i.e. I am not able to set folder level security
I am implementing membership provider. For example, anonymous users are not allowed to acces pages under the folder, namely XXX.
When user clicks to navigate any of those pages I would like to display a popup window. I know I can implement button clikc events. But there are many buttons and links. What is the most effective way to do that?
I have the following implementation and I'm sure there is an easy way to do what I want to do but I can't figure it out.
1. I use forms based authentication to authenticate to my site
2. I use active directory to authenticate the users
3. I use the Allow Users="xxx" tag to authorize the users limited to the list that can access my site. (e.g.. even though Mary is an AD user she can't access my site unless I put her credentials in the allow users tag in the web.config file)
All is working well but I want to move the users access list (e.g.. <allow users="john" />" from the web.config to a database table so that I can create a user maintenance page for my admins to add and delete user access. For the life of me I can't figure out how to do this and I can't seem to find an article on it either.
I have a web app, which contains a folder Uploads, to which users (authenticated) upload their files (for some reason it has to be a folder in the root of the web app).I want to deny access to this folder and files to all non-authenticated users.
In my web.config I have:
[Code]....
and everything seems to work in development, but on a staging server it redirects non-authenticated users to login page ONLY from aspx pages, but not when entering the url to the file in Uploads folder.
I have a problem in my asp application. In my application I have an own authentication mechanism so in the web.config file I have <authentication mode="None"/>
Inside the application users can upload files to the folder I've created (App_Files). I would like to give access to the folder only once they are logged in (Session["Login"] is no null).
I dont want not logged in users to be able to access the files over a url address in the browser (like http://<server>/App_Files/Filename.pdf)
i have a problem with the users authentication on my site. I made <authentication mode="Windows"> in my web.config. The LoginView shows "mycomputermyusername" if i request the page. So far as well. Now i want to login with a different username. Users are stored in an Active Directory. My questions: wich setting i have to do, that user's account and password checked by Active Directory? how can i force the system to make a new login? Logout doesn't work, i always see my on account.
I want to create a web service that can authenticate user from my application. I will be sending user name and password from my app to the web service and that will deny or accept the user. I want to use form authentication using sql server. that this web service can be used by other team in my office so that they can just call the web service and the user will be authenticated.
Also, is it possible to use both form and windows authentication in my web service and authenticate the user both ways.
I have developed an Interanet web application using the windows Active directory authentication if user find then it automaticaly authenticated working correctly now my user wants the capability of being able to login to the intranet site as another user by providing the username and Password . For example, Team lead needs to login on other team memeber System to pefrom some task on his behalf if he or she is not aviable in office .
I have created a standard MS Login Page. However when I try to login on the page only by providing the Username system authenitcate the user ( not validating the password of that user)
