Web Forms :: Securing Images From Unauthorized Access?

Jan 23, 2011

I am working with Staff Images and Staff Dependants Images (photos) and I have to deal with such images among Adobe LiveCycle Forms, File System JPEG Format, Storing them in SQL Server, and finally, displaying them in regual web forms (ASPX).

In order to have the most reasonable and flexible desing, I did the following to:

1. Load the image from predefined location defined in web.config.

2. Convert the images to Memory Stream,

3. Convert the images to Base64 format,

4. Convert the image to XML Node.

In web.config, I defined the following:

[Code]....

I load the Staff Photo into Memory Stream as follows:

[Code]....

And I create the Base64 XML Node as follows:

[Code]....

As a matter of fact, all above is working 100% correctly while dealing with Adobe LiveCycle Form, for Loading and Saving Imgaes from/to PDF.

The above method will allow me to finally save images to SQL Server field type varbinary(max) and also into File System as regular image files. Also, I have full security and control over the images, becuase the above method will allow me to have full control for who is authorized to get/view the images. The end-user does not have direct access to where the images are stored.

How to use the above method to display the image on a regular ASPX Web Page using Image Server Control ? I do not want to use the src='path to image file', I want to be able to push the image content/binary to the IE without providing a link to the image file, how I can do this ?

My objective is to prevent the user from having direct access to the image files from the Browser.

Security :: Securing Web Images So Only Pages Can Access Them?

Nov 9, 2010

I only want my web images to be visibleSimpliied, a digital media page pulls html content from a database using SQL security and renders that HTML. That digital media page is secured in that only a returing Paypal transaction user with a matching transaction can access it. But today that HTML content makes references to images on my site, those images can be freely directly over the web.The backend is asp.net 2.0. Would it be possible for me to secure the web folder with my images to some generic user and impersonate access from my pages so that attempts to access images directly fails?f not, any way to solve all that html content on serverside somehow and turn it into something else I can secure?

C# - Unauthorized Access When Downloading From FTP?

Aug 31, 2010

My code can be found here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3604864/c-asp-net-ftp-error I am trying to download a file from an FTP server when I try to download it it says I do not have access I have been googling this all morning and have not had any luck. I went to the designated folder and added Everyone with full permissions hoping I was missing a user and that did not work. I tried giving full permissions to myself, Anonymous user, network service, and a few other users that I have found. I have tried using

<identity impersonate="true" /> and
<identity impersonate="true" userName="myfullusername" password="mypassword"/>

I am still not having any luck the full error I get is:

System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:UsersmynameDocuments' is denied. at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath) at System.IO.FileStream.Init(String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, Int32 rights, Boolean useRights, FileShare share, Int32 bufferSize, FileOptions options, SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES secAttrs, String msgPath, Boolean bFromProxy, Boolean useLongPath)

VS 2010 - 401 Unauthorized / Access Is Denied Due To Invalid Credentials

Nov 3, 2011

I'm setting up a new site on a new server. I created the site in the IIS manager and pointed it to my site directory. But, I now receive this error each time I try to navigate to the site.

I didn't receive this error on the other server, so I'm a little confused. I looked this up, but most of the information I've found is about configuring the users that people have setup. But, this site won't be secured like that. No one will need to log in.

Configuration :: Unauthorized Access Exception Copying Files From One Server To Another?

Dec 21, 2010

I have been struggling with an issue that sounds like it should be quite common but I can't seem to get the thing working no matter how much I research it!

I am using an AJAX file uploader to upload files (up to 100MB) to the webserver and when the user clicks a button to complete navigate to the next page, I then attempt to move the files off the webserver onto a file server on Page_Load. Both servers are WinServer 2003. There just isn't enough space on the webserver to hold all the uploads once we go live with this solution so I have to get the files off the webserver.

Uploading the file and creating a new subdirectory on the webserver (to hold the file) works no problem at all. When I do the file copy to our file server locally on VS2008, again, no problem. However, when I delopy to the live server and try the same thing, the upload happens ok, but the file copy does not. I get an UnauthorizedAccessException. I don't have access to the webserver myself (but can request it if absolutely necessary) and our file server sits within the same domain (Active Directory).

I do not want to use Impersonation at a high level (web.config), so I tried it programmatically for the purposes of the copy file but it did not work. I used one of our general clerical accounts to pass in the credentials and gave full permission to this account on the file server to create/modify files.

Stack Trace:

[code]...

And the Copy code is:

Access :: How To Display Access Attachment Images

Mar 20, 2010

how to display image files which have been stored in Access 2007 as "attachments". The files are already in place as attachments to the database, and would be difficult to move in bulk to individual files. To store and call them individually by filename would have been my first choice, but they are already in place as attachments. At any rate, I have no problem connecting to and querying the database in asp.net for other fields, but have been unsuccessful in displaying these jpeg attachments.

Web Forms :: Securing A Textbox Field Without Https?

Jan 22, 2010

I am creating an online job application using a wizard control.

When the user has completed the application, the finish button will fire javascript to re-render the data & print the application(the application data will not be saved to a database, email, xml, etc).

I want to ensure the users' personal info is safe while postbacks are being made (ie clicking the next button in the wizard steps).

Can someone give me a start as to what I need to be looking to do?

I've seen some things about viewstate encryption, but not sure if that's where I should begin, and/or if that's the only thing I need to do.

Or, If I were to disable viewstate all together would that be good enough?

I'm developing a MVC2 application and using Forms Authentication on it. The scripts, images and styles are all blocked to unlogged users and, consequently, the login page looks awful.

Security :: Secure Images From Being Easily Access?

Feb 8, 2010

I have read that the best way to secure images from being access would be to place them into a database rather than into a file system or virtual directory. Is this correct? I am creating a site that needs to have the images the user upload be secure as possible. I initially programmed the images to be uploaded to a database then I reprogram the site to have them store in to a file system/virtual directory. I'm still up in the air in terms of which one to use. Again, security is my primary concern.
