C# - Cookie In Default Not Secure But Secure In SSL?
Aug 10, 2010
I have a GUI when i log in i create a cookie and it encrypt it. I am usin SSL.
I check in the Login.aspx page if the cookie is secure, which it is. but then before going to the default page it goes to the Global.ascx page.
Here in the Application_AuthenticateRequest it gets the cookie and decrypts it for the default page..
Now i know that it is getting the same cookie as all the other attributes match the one that was created in the Login.aspx page excet that the secure value is "False".
this is the case for all other pages after default. the value of the cookie.secure is false.
why is this happening as i want all the pages to be secure by SSL.
Also the pages are opening as https not http.
here is my web.config
[code]....

My web application will be launched through existing thick client applications. When launched, an HTTP POST request will be generated including information like the userID and additional context information (basically stuff like the target user's name, birthday, etc.).
My plan for authentication is for there to be a look-up table in the database. If the username is already there, automatically login the user, but if there is no entry in the database, redirect the user to an initial login page which will be used to create that database entry.
My question is how to secure this against MITM and other security holes. How can the request generated through the thick client be on an SSL connection? Doesn't an SSL connection have to be authenticated with the username (and password) first? And if so, will the additional context information be publicly exposed until the user is logged in?

I have a browser compatibilty problem with https? I have SSL installed and is in usage. Until today morning, my https part is working well. From then, Https is shown as https(with slashed in red color) saying the page has some insecure content. I have not changed any code and suddenly i see this problem in chrome. In IE 8, i see the same problem but on every page, it shows me a popup if i should allow to opne secure and non secure or just secure. Firefox has no issues . It shows correct https without any problem. I am fed up with it searching all over. Why is this happenening for me in Chrome and IE 8.

I've recently read one of Jeff's articles about XSS and it got me thinking about how to better protect the login cookies in my home cooked authentication system.
[code]....
so one of the questionable things I do is use the UserAgent string. Is there harm in doing this? Or browsers which will change their UserAgent string under normal operation(as in, without being updated)? My goal is basically for if an attacker gets a login cookie, for them to not be able to do anything with it. At the moment, the only info I store in the cookie plain text is the username.

I have a custom mini login user control that I have embedded in the top of my website which shows on every page. These pages are non-secure HTTP://. I would like to avoid having to redirect the user to a HTTPS page to perform the login but I definitely don't want to send login credentials to the server in plain text.
I am trying find a method to send the user's login credentials encrypted via https from a non-secure (http) page.
I tried to set the postbackurl for the login button to itself but in https, but the user's input is not retained and the buttonLogin_click is not fired when I set the button postbackurl property. My ASP.net web application is VB.Net framework 4.0
I am assuming this can be done because I see lots of websites where login fields are on available on every page and they are running http and I can believe they are not encrypting the login credentials.

I have a doubt regarding secure cookie.
I have four servers 2 App Server(behind firewall) and 2 webservers and each server is accessing through Load Balancer.
App Server is a modules for Data Access layer and webserver is for Presentation layer.
My Issue is My Load Balancer has Secure certificate installed but certificate is not installed on servers and I want to make cookie as secure in site , as per my understanding " cookie should be set as secure only for SSL site other ways new session will get create every time" so should I install SSL certificate on webserver to make my cookie as secure or will it work properly even if only Load Balance has SSL.

After logging to the mvc site using a secure connection (https), calling actions using https connection show up with the user logged in but calling actions using http it bahaves as if user didn't log on. Since I need to use a virtual directory for https connections(and can't use that directory for http connection) Https links start with: [URL]

I'm working on a legacy web application - frames and a mixture of html, asp and aspx. The entire site is https. For some strange reason when I hit a specific page I get the magic message that says the Page contains both secure and nonsecure items. (IE obviously doesn't want to tell me what those resources are) I have checked the page that's being loaded and there are absolutely no http://... links - everything is relative links.
I have fired up fiddler and checked what's being requested - everything looks fine. I am completely at wit's end here. I have absolutely no idea why I'm getting this message, but it's completely screwing with the site.

I want to post my login form to a secure url.
I figured the best way to do this would be bust open the HTML helpers for BeginForm with reflector and create my own extension method called BeginSecureForm. The problem I ran into was that it uses internal method UrlHelper.GenerateUrl and and the private method HtmlHelper.FormHelper.
Apart from hard coding URLs into a form what is the best way to generate forms that post to a secure url and then have that action redirect to a non secure action after login?

I've developing an ASP.NET application that interfaces with Google Maps and retrieves marker information from a database. The marker information is split into tables in the database, where the name of the table reflects a company (e.g. CompanyA_MarkerData, CompanyB_MarkerData etc). In order to periodically update the map with new marker data, I use setTimeout in JavaScript to regularly call my 'UpdateMarkers' JavaScript function. 'UpdateMarkers' makes a call to a web service which performs the database query and returns a list of markers back to the JavaScript, which in turn updates the map.
The main issue I have with this method is that my web service requires that I pass it the name of the company so that it knows which table in the database to access. As you can imagine , this poses a security risk as anyone can pass a different company name to the web service and be able to retrieve the data from other companies, as well as their own.
In order to avoid this problem, I am restructuring my program as follows: When the system administrator creates users for my application, they can also assign a company ID to this user. The company ID is stored using the Profile object in ASP.NET. I am moving the web service code into a class with shared functions so that they can be called only within my pages (but not by anyone, like with web services). The functions will still require a company name passed to be passed to them. However, rather than the JavaScript making direct calls to these shared functions, the JavaScript will call a set of page methods (which as I understand it, are not public like web services). These page methods will then use the Profile object to retrieve the company name attached to the user currently logged in and then make a call to my shared database functions and return the info back to the JavaScript.
I think that this second method is more secure than the first, because I don't allow the client to pass different options to my code and retrieve unauthorized data. The server side code works out the parameters that need to be sent. However, I am wondering if there is a better way of doing this that I am missing out?

I was wondering how you could encrypt/decrypt your querystring in a simple asp.net page? some values need to be passed between different pages but the querystring cannot be changed or read.
Some say httphandles could be the solution for this.
MORE BACKGROUND INFO:
this is the problem, sometimes the sessions disappear without any reason (well there must be one but I don't know it yet). I've looked into the possible reasons but nothing that could cause it is happening.
Therefore I cannot rely on it anymore. The cookie solution is a possibility but it will be more work to implement than simply using the querystring. The url can be copied at any time just not changed!

If I have users upload images to my web server, and they are simply stored in a folder, how secure are they? This of course is assuming that IIS is configured not to serve image files directly from a browser request, or mods are made in the web.config file to prevent direct access, etc, ex:[URL]

I want to develop a site with secure login. i followed various tutorials, and created a site, based on the default master page. I believe i set up the asp.net configurations correctly. under security, changed authentication type to "from the internet", added roles, added users based on those roles. when i compile the project and test the log in, it works fine. but, in visual studio 2010's Solution Explorer the App_Data folder is grayed out and i cannot get into it to view the database. how do i view the tables and create new tables?

As I'm working on a project for a customer (and catching up to speed on the asp.net web development since I last embarked on it), I have a particular request that I want to make sure is not going to cause undesirable effects.
The customer is putting a URL on a printed sheet. He wants it to be [URL]. He doesn't want to add http:// or https:// because he wants to make it as short and pain free to type in as possible. Very reasonable goal.
The key is, I need to make sure that whatever they type in, they get to the secure page of the site (so [URL] would need to become [URL]
I know that I can write an HttpHandler to look and see if it's an https request, and if not, redirect them to the secure version. However, are there any pitfalls with this approach that I need to be aware of. Will some browsers pop up any nasty dialogs or such?
