I am trying to access a shared folder which is located on a different server rather than on the asp.net server.
I configured windows authentication and set impersonation to true. Also try with enable/disable basic authentication.
I have tried the following:
with a mapped driveshared folder access (\sharedfolder)virtual directory pointing to shared folder with pass through configuration. However none of the above works. I am getting "Access Denied" error when trying with shared folder and virtual directory. In the case of mapped drive getting "Not Found" error.
I received some code, a small c# asp.net application which manually posts a shared username/pwd to a 3rd party website for auto-logins from our intranet site. During transit the password is encrypted, but not within the application. Within this application a namevaluecollection is used and the username and password are hard coded. Originally the thought was, who cares if its hard coded because its shared between everyone anyway. Now we want to encrypt the username and password from within the application. I'm not sure the best way to accomplish the goal of making sure the password is encrypted "at rest". Normally I've seen passwords stored and encrypted within a database. I know we'll obviously have to move the password out of the application and store it somewhere else, I'm just not sure where. Do we move the username and pwd to the web.config file? I really am not sure the best way to approach this.
i have a situation where i need to develop a web system where sys. admin can create a shared folder in server and set who can access the shared folder programmatically.
i've manage to find example to create a shared folder from here:[URL]
and i also manage to find example to add user and set folder Security setting from here:[URL]
My problem is how can i add user in the Sharing permission setting since it is a shared folder. Default sharing setting is set to 'everyone'. This mean anyone in my company can browse to the shared file unless i set everyone security setting. I want to remove "everyone" and add users based on the user that i've already add at Security setting.

I have a shared module in an asp.net web app which gets various information about a group or user. Since the Iuser account on the web does not have enough rights to query the AD, I need to supply an appropriate userid and passcode for the directoryentry in the shared code. Since my credentials so the have the appropriate rights to query the AD I like to impersonate myself(user.identity). This works fine for a webpage, but I can't pass the user.identity object to shared code. I get an error. Is there a way to pass the user.identity object to a shared function in another module?
My web.config contains passwords to my database and smtp and i want to tighten up the security, i want to protect the passwords fully so if a hacker or webhost employee accessed all the webserver files the passwords cannot be easily accessed
I run on a shared host so using encryption could be an issue as i havnt got full IIS access - i havnt gone down that road yet to look fully into it
I was thinking it might be easier and secure enough if i moved the connection strings & passwords from the web.config into a referenced .dll which was protected by a professional obfuscation tool
I have a custom membership user class and custom MembershipProvider working against database. Due to security reasons the user passwords are stored in the database as hashed values. So my procedure
public override bool ValidateUser(string username, string password) is { //select hashed password from db return (EncodePassword(password) == dbpassword) } [code]....
I've developed a dot net website that runs fine on my localhost. When I upload it to my ISP on a shared hosted site, I receive the following: "Required permissions cannot be acquired." I've been informed that I need to change my website to medium trust. Can someone get me started in the right direction on how this is done? When I add <trust level="Medium" originUrl="" /> to the web.config it won't BUILD on my local host and when I add it to the web.config on the shared site, it gives me"This configuration section cannot be used at this path. This happens when the site administrator has locked access to this section using <location allowOverride="false"> from an inherited configuration file."
On my PC everything is all rigth but on the webserver I get an error: 'OrderBy' is not a member of 'System.Array', maybe due to the trust level. Is there I way to bypass this or I have to resign myself to it?
I am creating an application hosted on GoDaddy.com. The base files are kept in a folder called /sky while the Admin files and User files are kept in /sky/Admin and /sky/User respectively. I'm having difficulty configuring the security so that when a user tries to access Admin or User files they should be redirected to the login.aspx file in the /sky folder. I keep getting an error that its trying to access sky/sky/login.aspx instead of just sky/login.aspx.
Here are the relevant sections of my web.config file.
I´m building a home page where logged in users shall buy products. To be able to get to the buy page the user already has to be logged in. But when he shall execute the buy he has to reenter his password again to check the user a second time. How do I check if his entered password matches his user password? I´m using the ASP Membership library and I have passwordFormat="Hashed".
I'm using the ChangePassword method of membership provider to change the password and one of the requirement before calling the changepassword is to retrieve the current password. But I'm getting error:padding is invalid and cannot be removedbelow is my web.config:
I have an ASP.Net 4.0 application that is using Forms Authentication and ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider. It authenticates against Active Directory running on Windows Server 2008 R2.I use ChangePassword control for changing passwords.When the user changes the password he can log on for some time with the old password. My client feels this is a security problem with the application. Is there any way to make sure the old password does not work after the user changes it?Also, if I do iisreset on the web server, the old password stops working. The password must be cached somewhere in the web app.
I am a newbie and using Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition developing a website with some SQL database and a membership folder.
The membership folder security was set via Website/ASP.NET Configuration and with Permission Deny for Anonymous users, and a user id and password was created.
However when running the website and login with the created userid and password, it failed to log in with error message "Your login attempt was not successful. Please try again." I suspect that the system could not find the ASPNETDB.MDF even though it is in the App_Data folder.
I have separately developed another website with Membership and User Login by following the example in ASP.NET Walkthrough in Learn Web Devbelopment, and it works ok.
Is there a way to reset a user's password while logged in as an administrator? I just had to delete a user and re-create him in order to achieve the same affect of resetting his password, so I'm wondering if there is a better way to reset a password.
I've created a login page but when I try to sign in with user name and password, it will not execute.I've gone over the process numerous times and have deleted the user (me) and re-created the user (me).Does anyone have any clues as to what I might be over-looking.
A question has been raised concerning password recovery revealing valid user ids. Stage 1 of the password recovery asks for a userid and when progressing to stage 2 will display an error message 'Invalid user id'. In theory this would allow valid user id'sto be identified.Is there a setting we are missing? Something that would allow the user id and question to be asked, then a message saying the 'User/Question combination is invalid'.
