Using Encrypted Web.config File?
Jun 18, 2010
My aim is to make the web.config not readable by external users, but my application should be able to access it. Is there any way to do this?
I have tried the following way, but how to set the application to use string instead of web.config?
I want to encrypt my web.config file so that others do not open the file using any editor like notepad. But my application should be able to use the same web.config file. I could encrypt the web.config file and decrypt it inside the application and I saved the entire web.config to a string file. Now I want to use this string variable instead of web.config(now in encrypted form, which cannot be accessed by the application).

I don't have access to IIS. Is it possible to encrypt config file and everything works?

how to prevent a rendered ASPX page from having the encrypted data in the head area. With the fact that the data is in there, it prevents bots and crawlers from reaching the true SEO data within the page. I would like to use ASPX pages to create my web pages. As of now, I cannot because of the garbage loaded in the beginning of a rendered page.

I'm preparing to deploy a ASP.NET web application. The target server has already a previous version of my web application with parameters specified on the web.config file.
In the new version of this web application, the web.config file contains new sections I would like they appear into the target web.config file on the server.
However I can't find the way to merge the new web.config sections into the existing web.config file ?
Does I have to do it programmatically, or is there a tool to merge the both files during installation ? (I'm using Web Setup Project).

Currently, I work on an ASP.NET project which is hosted under version control and is used on several developer machines, tester machine and production environment.
In three cases, configuration (Web.config) may be different. For example, developer and tester environments use testing SQL Server, whereas in production environment, another SQL Server is accessed, so the connection string is different in those cases.
We want to keep three versions of Web.config in subversion. But modifying each of three files every time we need to add, remove or change a common setting is annoying: it would be nice to have a common, master Web.config, which will be inherited by each of the three Web.config files.
How to set up an ASP.NET project which will use a master configuration file and different slave configuration files on different machines, thus sharing the same project/source code/configuration files in subversion?

When I open my ASP.NET site in IIS and try to open the .NET Trust Levels, I get an error message:
.NET Trust Levels There was an error while performing this operation.
Details:
Filename: ?C:inetpubwwwrootmyappweb.config
Line number: 445
Error: This configuration section cannot be used at this path. This happens when the section is locked at a parent level. Locking is either by default (overrideModeDefault="Deny"),or set explicitly by a location tag with overrideMode="Deny" or the legacy allowOverride="false".
I've checked a few places, but I haven't found anything that seems like it would be locking that setting. Is there a systematic way of determining where that setting is locked?
I'm using IIS 7.5 and .NET 3.5 sp1.

It is known that we use web.config file to override the setting of machine.config file.
a) how come machine.config file knows that only changes made in web.config file are to be overwritten. I mean to say, if I use some other name for the config file say xyz.config, will it be able to work?
b) How does machine.config file know about web.config? Is there any link mentioned inside the machine.config file for that?

I have built an ASP.NET (.NET v4) application in VS 2010. It is working just fine. But when I try to create deployment package (so I can deploy it in our test IIS 7.5 Server), it gives me error like this,
Error 1 Could not open Source file: Could not find file 'C:11-2 estobjDebugCSAutoParameterize ransformedWeb.config'. 0 0 test
Thing is in past, I had deployed the SAME application using the SAME method.

I am encrypying my .NET config file using this command and it works just fine:
aspnet_regiis -pe "connectionStrings" -app "/SampleApplication"
For this to work though I have to have a virtual directory called SampleApplication pointing to the folder my web.config file is under.
Is there a way to just specify the path to the file and not have to have a virtual dir?
I tried with
aspnet_regiis -pe "connectionStrings" -location "c:FoldercontainingWebConfigFile"
but i get the error: " path attribute must be a relative virtual path". And cannot contain any of ":" "" etc...

by looking at using the XmlDocument and creating elements and attributes and then inserting them into the document. Pretty soon this looked like a massive amount of work for all the elements I have to add.What are the repercussions of treating the config file as one big long text string and doing a replace at certain points to add my entries. Something like this...
private void InsertXMLElement()
{
StringBuilder webConfig = new StringBuilder();
// get the file into a stringbuilder for manipulation
using (var sr = new StreamReader("C:web.config"))
{
webConfig.Append(sr.ReadToEnd());

when I reference a assembly. It's reference gets added to the project file in my case ( ABC.csproj)
Also when I take a look at the web.config file there is a section called <assemblies>. And lot of assemblies are added there.
What is the difference between link to the assemblies in the Project file and the assemblies in the web.config file?

I'm trying to write a new web.config file using VB in ASP.net. I am trying to set access permissions, but it won't let me use the question mark to denote: <deny users="?" /> in the authorization tag. Is there an alternative to this or a different encoding I should be using for this character?
My specific error: The '?' character cannot be used here.
'Create file, overwrite if exists
'enc is encoding object required by constructor
'It is null, so default encoding is used
Dim objXMLTW As New XmlTextWriter((MapPath(".") & "asic" & fold & "" & "web.config"), Nothing)
objXMLTW.WriteStartDocument()
'Top level (Parent element)
objXMLTW.WriteStartElement("configuration")
'Child elements, from request form
objXMLTW.WriteStartElement("system.web")
objXMLTW.WriteStartElement("auhorization")
objXMLTW.WriteString("deny users="?"")
objXMLTW.WriteEndElement()
objXMLTW.WriteEndElement()
objXMLTW.WriteEndElement() 'End top level element
objXMLTW.WriteEndDocument() 'End Document
objXMLTW.Flush() 'Write to file
objXMLTW.Close()
