C# - Provider Not Found When Encrypting Web.config?
Oct 3, 2010
I'm trying to encrypt a custom section in a web.config file. When I get to the line that calls ProtectSection(), I get an exception saying the provider isn't found.
Configuration config = WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration(Request.ApplicationPath);
ConfigurationSection section = config.GetSection("MySection");
section.SectionInformation.ProtectSection("DataProtectionConfigurationProvider");
I tried it with RSA as well and got the same error.
Running aspnet_regiis.exe works, but I need to do this programatically.

I have been killing myself over this for a couple weeks now and cannot find a viable solution. Here's my scenario:
I have a DTSX package that imports user data from an external database. It then creates user accounts and profiles in the local database. Users can also be created via a custom ASP.NET Membership Provider. The provider must be able to authenticate both types of users.
This was all fine and dandy during development because passwords were stored as clear text. However, now that we're ready for release the passwords format of the provider must be set to encrypted and so the users created via the DTSX must be created with an encrypted password. (I'd prefer the passwords were hashed but the client's requirements are that passwords be recoverable). The real problem seems to be creating an encrypted password within the DTSX that will be decryptable by the ASP.NET Membership Provider.
My original solution was to have the DTSX call a CLR stored procedure that had access to the same encryption logic as the provider. I got it working but our client wouldn't enable CLR integration. So that's out the window. Now I'm investigating alternatives. One alternative is to simply use the built-in encryption methods of T-SQL. But how do I share the keys used for the encryption/decryption?
My question is, is it possible to generate a password in T-SQL, say using EncryptByKey, that will also be decryptable by my provider? This means that the key in SQL must match the key in my machineKey configuration.

I am wondering how to encrypt the below information in the "web.config" file of the "Account" folder (where we have the secured pages):
[Code]....
My issue here is that even after I compiled my application (using "aspnet_compiler -v /reports c:
eports"), the information inside the web.config file of the Account folder still not encrypted, and I want to publish my site to the customer server. So, since this server is a customer server, then they can access this "web.config" file and change our web-application security behaviour (correct me if I am wrong). Basically, I don't want the customer to even have access to our secured pages when they access our web-application using the web browser. How to solve this issue?

I used the article Creating a Flexible Configuration Section Handler to create a Flexible Configuration Section Handler in my application.
I also saw this article entitled Encrypting Custom Configuration Sections on the OdeToCode blog, on how to encrypt portions of a web.config file.
From the first article, we have this web.config code.

I am getting the error "An error occurred loading a configuration file: Access to the path is denied."
When I am in VS 2010, I can Encrypt as long as I run as administrator. Code as follows:

My problem is I need to run this in IIS. What is stopping me? It's a permission problem, but what permission. I am running IIS 7.5 on Windows 7. This is happening on my production server as well. Same error.

Any section in my web.config file that I want to encrypt I run this command line util:
aspnet_regiis -pe "anySection" -app "/SampleApplication"
It all works just fine until I try encrypt my connectionStrings sections
I define (and I cannot change this) my connectionStrings section like this:
[code]....
Is there a way of doing this using the aspnet_regiis util? Doing it with code is not an option for me.
Also is there a way to run this untility without specifing the application (-app "/SampleApplication") instead giving the path to the web.config file?

I have written a couple methods that encrypt and decrypt the appSettings section of my web.config file using the WebConfigurationManager. I just hooked up the methods to the page_load event to test that it works, which it does. Now I need to deploy to a web farm and need advice. What is the best way to make it so I can encrypt, but more importantly decrypt the web.config when I need to? I thought about putting a hidden page with "encrypt" and "decrypt" buttons, but that seems risky. What is the "accepted" method for rolling out something like this?

share your thoughts if there is any way to encrypt app.config section with out changing code? I know that we can use aspnet_regiis.exe to encrypt the web.config file.
I came across some blogs to rename app.config to web.config and run aspnet_regiis -pef command. I am able to create an encrypted version of app.config file but application failed to read the keys from encrypted app.config. so this approach didnt work for me.

My problem is that I'm going to have a SQL Server database and website that accesses that database via a hosting provider, most likely GoDaddy.com, using ASP.Net. I need to make sure the connection string in the web.config file is as secure as possible, because the database will actually be storing trivia questions for a game I'm developing, and the clients will be accessing these questions, saving specific state related details, and other details, to the database, so every player that plays the game will have their details stored in this database. I need to ensure hacking is very difficult to accomplish.
From my research it appears as though the only viable solution for your web.config when you've got a hosting account with something like GoDaddy.com is to use SQL Server security to connect to your SQL Server database and place those details in the web.config file. Is this correct? It seems that this is the most likely scenario for most users, because we don't have access to our hosting providers IIS servers in order to use Windows authentication with SQL Server access and then use DPAPI encryption from there.

When I try to encrypt the "connectionStrings" section in the web.config file of my asp.net web application on Windows Server 2008, I'm getting the following error:
Administration utility (2.0.50727) to install and uninstall ASP.NET on the local machine. Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. Note: This utility has limited capabilities on the Windows Vista operating system. It is recommended that you use the "Turn on or off Windows features" option of the "Programs" component of Control Panel to install or remove ASP.NET. It is also recommended that you use the IIS Manager component or the Appcmd.exe tool to configure ASP.NET applications.
The above information is followed by the list of valid options to aspnet_regiis.exe.
The command that I've used is:
aspnet_regiis.exe -pef "connectionStrings" "C:Usersuser1DocumentsMywebsite" -prov "DataProtectionConfigurationProvider"
But, the same command is working fine when used on a Windows Server 2003 machine. The problem is occurring only on Windows Server 2008 with IIS7.

I created a VB.NET/ASP.NET app, which runs fine on my local pc, from VS2008.
Now I tried to publish it on the server of my hoster, and I am getting the error:
Default role provider could not be found
I'm trying to adjust the web.config file, by replacing the name of the SQL server of my local machine with the name of the sql server of my hoster's server, but so far no luck.

This is probably a lame question, but I know little of web development. I inherited a web project that I'm trying to get running locally. I get the mentioned error on line 46.
Line 44: </authentication>
Line 45: <membership defaultProvider="AD_MyCompanyName" />
Line 46: <roleManager enabled="true" defaultProvider="ADRP_MyCompanyName_Readonly" cacheRolesInCookie="true" cookieName="MyCompanyName.ROLES" createPersistentCookie="true" cookieSlidingExpiration="true" cookieTimeout="240" />
Line 47: <profile enabled="false"/>
Line 48: <customErrors mode="Off"/>
This code works on the old developer's box, but not on mine. I've been working through some TFS checkout issues on his box, assuming it was simply files left checked out. I can't figure out where the providers are added. I don't see them being added in the config file above. In fact, if I search for "AD_MyCompanyName" and "ADRP_MyCompanyName_Readonly", I get no hits in the entire solution. I can't figure out what they are. Not sure why it works on that box if I can't even find the providers being added.

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...

I'm having a problem with a custom Membership implementation for ASP.NET using EF. The thing is, my web.config features the default values for the provider but at runtime those default are only being read in Initialize() the first time provider is instantiated (that happens for instance when I request the Register view via GET but when I fill in the form and POST to the controller the Initialize() on the provider class doesn't get called and all the provider settings are null or default value types value.
This is my web.config section:
[Code]....
Since my provider class is quite huge I am not posting it here but will post some parts of it if requested.

I am trying to update the enablePasswordReset from false to true programmatically but am struggling.. This is as far as I got!
ConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration(Request.ApplicationPath);
var section = (MembershipSection)config.GetSection("system.web/membership");
var defaultProvider = section.DefaultProvider;
var providerSettings = section.Providers[defaultProvider];
// Now what?
