I know a user can use the following code to access the content of web.config
string connectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["MyConnect"].ConnectionString;
If I set EnvironmentPermission, can I block user to access the content of web.config?
I know I can use [assembly: FileIOPermission(SecurityAction.RequestRefuse, Unrestricted = true)] to limit user to access disk files, now I hope to limit user to access database and web.config file, how can I do?
View 2 RepliesI 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 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
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms name="Compra" loginUrl="wfLogin.aspx" path="/" protection="All" timeout="30" />

Using visual studio 2010.
Dragged and dropped a login control onto a blank content page. Set up my web.config (i'll include the code for that at the end). It seems to want to use a sql database to store the info. I just want to use the web.config since it's just a single user and a simple site. I thought I could just drag and drop the login control to a page and that would be the end of it (besides setting up the web.config).
Here's what i have in the config file

I deployed a website where a logged user or an anonymous user can select data and download a XML file. The website generate the XML file in the server and then deliver it.
It works fine in my development environment, but after deployment, the anonymous user can download the file, but the logged user receive this error:
System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'd:HostsLocalUserheringerwebsiteUpload20110107094051.xml' is denied.
It is weird that as anonymous i can do it.
The website server help states this:
"Grant write, modify, delete access rights on website's folder
Your website executes under unique user account that by default has full control over the website's folder.
So your application can create, open, read, write and delete files and folders inside of your root folder.
There is no need and no way to change this permissions.
If, when running ASP.Net application, you still unable to create file or update it, you have to check your Web.Config file for "<Identity impersonate..." tag and remove it.
The only exception is when the application tries to modify a file or folder in "Application_Start" event of Global.asax file. This is by design that user authenticated only after the Application_Start even. Before the user is authenticated your website runs under an identity of Application Pool which is "Network services". That account doesn't have access to the folder of your website.
To make it work you eather have to move the code that tries to modify files or folders out of the "Application_Start" event of the Global.asax file or inside the event you'll need to impersonate your user by code."
But i am not using impersonate and the tag is not in my web.config.
I'm trying to find out how i store user names and passwords in the web.config file. I have tried looking for documentation on this but haven't found any so far.
I see in the class library it says that the Authenticate method of the FormsAuthentication class is for use in authenticating credentials against those stored in the config file, but i don't know how to store them there to begin with. I want to store two username:password pairs in the web.config file preferably encrypted.
one of these username:password pairs i want to be hard coded. The other i want to be able to be reset with a password reset form which I will code later. I guess there maybe a method for creating a sername:password entry in the web.config which could be used with my password reset form if such a method exists. But I need to know how to hand code the username:password entries into the web.config file to begin with and to beable to create the hard coded pair.
code I need to add to my web.config file i need to add and in what section?
also can you point me in the direction of a method used for creating username:password entries in web.config
I have some pages that need user to sign in. If not, I need to redirect user to signin page. I know this can be done by using some code like"<system.web><authorization><deny users="?"/></authorization></system.web>" in web.config.
But can I just write some code to do the same function?
like in page load method, I can check whether user is sign in, if user is not signed in yet, how can I redirect user to the login page by using code? and how can I stop sending the content of the page to user?
I have a web page where I am denying anonymous users from accessing. In the web site I have a folder called FileManager. In the web app the usres have the ability to uploaded files and when they do a folder gets created under the filmanger and the files are saved. I have created a web.config in this folder that denies anonymous users. The problem is if the user knows the directory structure they can type in the url of the site add /FilManager/x/x/NameOfFile, where x are the sub directories. If the file is an image it shows the image in ie, if it is a .xls or .doc or what ever they get the prompt to either download or save the file. What am I doing wrong. Will the web.config file not stop an anonymous user from access files? I put a webpage in the folder and it is blocked and the user gets sent to the login screen, but files seem to be unsecured.
How do I block anonymous users from being able to access the files in this folder?

I would like to access current authorized user from a cs file (class) in app_code. Is this possible?
I tried Membership function and HttpContect.Current.User but both return null.
I'm using the System.Web.Routing.UrlRoutingModule.
With that I'm writing:
routes.Add(new Route(@"cart/add", new RouteHandler("~/Order/CartAdd.ashx")));
routes.Add(new Route(@"cart/delete", new RouteHandler("~/Order/CartDelete.ashx")));
And I also have one route called:
routes.Add(new Route(@"{*url}", new RouteHandler("~/Error/PageNotFound.ashx")));
But if I go directy to /Order/CartAdd.ashx I never enter the routing. It goes directly to that handler. And if I go to /Order/ I get a 403.14 error.
How do I instead catch those urls with the routing?
Im working on an application that has a login section that accepts a username and password. On successful login a userid is returned and encrypted with TripleDesKey. The user details are then stored in a session object. We already have a class library that performs encryption and decryption using a key in the web.config file. I basically want to be able to access the user details of the currently logged in user in a page accessed from the main site that may be in a different domain, but is effectively part of the same site, so I wont have access to the session object from the main site. so basically a user logs in, I have the user details stored in a session object, I also have access to the encrypted userid also in a session object. If a user then clicks a link to another page that is in a different domain, how do I persist the userID?
I suppose I could I tag the encrypted userid to the querystring, but security could be an issue here (even though the id is encrypted, someone could still modify it)
i want to know the number of users wich access to my site and show it
