VS 2008 Web.config Location Tag?
Mar 1, 2010
My web.config has following settings :
Code:
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="SignIn.aspx" >
</forms>
[code]....
and different settings for a folder - "user" inside root.
( same config file )
Code:
<location path="User">
<system.web>
<authorization>
[code]....
but when use the statement
Code:
Server.Transfer("~/user/somepage.aspx")
in code behind , the control goes to somepage.aspx instead of SignIn.aspx.

We have an application that is making use of the location tag in the web.config file at the machine level - meaning like :WindowsMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0...CONFIGweb.config, the one that applies to the whole server - this application has lots of virtual directories under it and for each one there is a <location path="IIS Web App NameCustomerA">...This seems to work ok for that app. But then we have a second app on the same server, and I'd like to add location tags to that app's web.config file - meaning the local web.config file in the app's directory - and have each one of them specify a location tag in a similar way

I wanted to impose specific timeout interval and request length on some specific pages that uploads documents of size up to 50MB. Hence I did the following config changes after going through some sites.
<location path="Upload.aspx" >
<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="51200"/>
<httpRuntime executionTimeout="36000"/>
</location>
I keep getting error when I run the application. I tried various other ways like giving the complete path like <sitename>/<applicationname>/<v.folder name>/<filename>.I tried this on both IIS 6.0 and IIS 7.0.

In my ASP.Net application I'm using URL routing.
The url format is somewhat like: [URL] To allow users to visit the login and recovery page, I've added the following entries to my web.config:
[code]....
Is there a form of notation so that I can skip the en-GB part and replace it with a wildcard? I want the login and recovery page etc. to be available regardless of the culture.

Now since i'm securing the site i've noticed that the location element does not get much attention.The only thing i have found is that you can use <location path="" allowOverride="false"> on machine.config .I'm not sure how this goes but if you need to use this one every page then i will have multiple problems.First if i have a page with the same name on another website there is trouble and also if i need to update pages again problem.What i'm not sure of is if the location element on machine.config i just used once and then magically every site you have will throw an exception if a hacker changes you web.config.I have doubts and it's confusing and if i play with the server web.config,well i don't wanna mess with that.
So i also tried to encrypt the location element but i cannot find an example(can you encrypt it?).I can encrypt authorization and authentication but i will not go inside the location element.Just the standard authorization and authentication nodes.How can i secure the web.config location element so no hacker can change the allow,deny,etc.

This is part of my web.config
<location path="Secure">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="SecureUsers" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
I want to be able to search for path of Secure and find out the user role that is specified. My input is the path, such as "Secure" and the value I'm trying to retrieve is "SecureUsers".

Is it possible to have location authorization nodes in a web.config be external?
Such that I could take all of the nodes simlar to
[code]....
And move them outside of the web.config or something simlar? I find these nodes at an extreme amount of noise to a web.config when they're relatively static. Normally my approach would be to config source something like this but since it falls under the root node I'm not sure of it's possible with these nodes.

I'm looking to deploy a web app and I have a simple question about the <location> tag of the web.config file. For the moment, I want all the pages to be password protected and I've created a simple login page with the login object. I've put all my .aspx file in a directory called AppMyPages and I've put this in the config file:
<location path="AppMyPages">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow roles="tester" />

Where do I find the machineKey config section for ASP.NET?
I don't have one in my application Web.config, there isn't one in the root Web.config and there isn't one in my machine.config.
Does this mean there is some other default hardcoded into ASP.NET? If so, what are the defaults? (For .NET 2 and 4)
Having read this: [URL]
i was expecting to find something like this, somewhere:
<machineKey
validationKey="AutoGenerate,IsolateApps"
decryptionKey="AutoGenerate,IsolateApps"
/>
Edit: the 1.1 docs seem fairly clear wrt default values: [URL] but the 4 docs are rather ambiguous [URL]

In my ASP.NET's Web Config file I have the following location elements defined:
<location path="">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<deny users="?"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
<location path="dir1">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="?"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
<location path="dir2">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="?"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
The example above is specifying that all directories will be locked down to anonymous users except the two directories dir1 and dir2. I'm curious if there is a syntax that I can use that will allow me to define more than one directory within one location element. For example, it would be convenient if we could do something like this...
<location path="dir1,dir2,etc">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="?"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>

I have the following authorization settings in my web.config:
[Code]....
This deny's all anonymous access to the application accept the login page. In addition to this I am using authorization within each controller action via a custom authorize attribute.
I have one additional action that I would like to expose publicly in addition to the login page. This action does not have the authorize attribute on it. I have tried to make this view (resetPassword view) public by using the location tag in the web.config file like so:
[Code]....
In the path attribute above I have tried both the view as well as the action path, but it doesnt allow public access to the action.
I have even tried to put this view in a separate folder within the shared folder and put a separate web.config file to make that folder public like so:
[Code]....
None of the above configuration allow me to make this particular action (view) public. Can anyone suggest any other solutions, or what I may be doing wrong in this case?

I have my theme for each folder set in the web.config, but on design I have no access to the css or skins for that page unless I add them in the page directive, then upon rendering in html, the page shows 2 references to the same css file.
So for design purpose do I have to reference the file, then delete the references after I finish designing the page? why does the editor not recognize the web.config and reference the proper theme?

When running the ASP.NET Development Server, everything is working fine. However, when I deploy my asp.net application to the production server (IIS 7.0 integrated mode, fresh install), my location tags in my web.config file are being ignored.
Case in point: I'm using forms authentication, and when the user arrives at my login.aspx page, the external css & js files are not being loaded...even though I have specified that those files should be available to all users (auth'd or not). However, once the user is logged in, the files do in fact load.
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="~/Account/Login.aspx" timeout="2880" />
</authentication>
<authorization>
<deny users="?" /> <!-- Restrict anonymouse user access -->
</authorization>
And the exception to my css file...
<location path="Styles/xtools.css">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="*"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
I've verified that the path to the css file is accurate.
--EDIT Forgot to mention, I have tried creating a web.config file in the targetted folder as well...still not working.

I'm struggling to find a way of specifying a file location in web.config appSettings that avoids using hard-coded paths but allows a non-'web aware' C# library to find a file. The C# library uses standard File.Open, File.Exists methods, etc. to operate on a data file, which is stored in my web application (ASP.NET MVC) tree, e.g. under:
contentdataMyDataFile.txt
Requirements:
I want to be able to specify my path like, e.g.:
<appSettings>
this--> <add key="MyFileLocation" value="~contentdataMyDataFile.txt" />
not --> <add key="MyFileLocation" value="c:inetpubwwwrootfoocontentdataMyDataFile.txt" />
</appSettings>
I don't want the C# library to be aware of the web application it's being used in, as it is used in other software, and the web application has no need to know about the configuration of the C# library.

Is there any way of doing something like this?
<location path="/(view|edit)post.aspx?id=[7-9][0-9]+">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow roles="AdminPublishers"/>
<deny users="*"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
Authorization is just an example. I would like to be able to do other things with those locations.

I implemented the Location tag in the web.config file to authorize the anonymous users for Images folder. I deployed the code in IIS6.0 with Forms authentication mode enabled for the virtual directory. I disabled all other authentication modes. When I browse the login page, Images are not displaying. When I set Anonymous authentication in IIS6.0 for the Image folder, it works fine.
See below the code implemented in web.config:

I want to add a new rule in my web.config file programmatically,
ex: I have a textbox to add location path I have a combobox (with items admin and user) to add roles. ex: user input location path = textbox roles = combobox (items admin and user) the save button, when click the save button the results go to the web config :
<location path="Report/ManageReport.aspx">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow roles="ADMIN" />
<deny users="*" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
So far my code as below: but I was confused to apply its
protected void AddRoleRule(string location, string selectedrole)
{
Configuration config = WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration(Server.MapPath("~/Web.config"));
XmlDocument xDoc = new XmlDocument();
xDoc.Load(config.FilePath);
//if the rule exists update the rule

I am creating a web site in visual studio 2008.
I want to allow the current user to log in but log off any other person logged in under the same username as the current user. (just like like Y!M does when you log in from a different location: It signs you out from the initial location) For managing log in and sign up i am using visual studio createuserwizard and log in cotrol.
