how can I synchronize sessionID over multiple second-domain servers? For example, I've got servers(you can log-in into server swarm at any of these), [URL], [URL], [URL] and if you log in at one of them, the login information (+anything else) should persist along them. How can I provide SessionID to other domains? (session itself is stored on sql server shared across the services).
View 2 RepliesI am trying to set up my web site on a stand alone server using Windows Server 2003 with IIS 6 which will access SQL server database (2008) on windows 2008 R2 server (also not in the domain) I am using form authentication and I have configured a custom identity account in IIS6. The local account is on both servers with same password and I have registered the account using aspnet_regiis.exe -ga The application pool in my iis6 has the custom local account set as the identity and my web.config file has the appropriate tags in the system.web element <identity impersonate="true" />
The problem is the local account does not seem to get passed to the sql server. Right now my iis settings are anonymous access (using the local acct vs isr) and no authentication specified under that - I did try Integrated and basic but it prompts for the username and password which I do not want. One article I read stated this: windows authentication does not support delegation (passing credentials from one server to another) and is limited to the one hop rule, only a primary token can be passed to a second server. windows
authentication on iis (all versions) gives the thread a secondary(impersonation) token which can not be used to access any network resouce
I see a ton of questions about uploading multiple files, but none about uploading a single file to multiple servers, so here goes... I have an ASP.NET app that will be running on two load balanced servers, and I would like to allow users to upload files and have them end up on both servers. What is the cleanest way to do this? I am using IIS 6 btw. Some ideas that come to mind are:
1) Use a virtual directory that points to some shared location that both servers can access. Will there be any access issues if the application runs at Network Service? I'm assuming the application will need to run as a user account that exists on the shared location machine. How should the permissions be set for this?
2) It would be nice if I could via jQuery post the request to both of my servers, referencing them by their port numbers. Even though the servers are on the same domain, this violates the same origin policy, right? Is there another solution I'm overlooking? How do other sites do this?
I have two applications with a single domain name ([URL] and [URL]). First one has been developed in .NET 2 and the other one with .NET 4. I have configured web.config as these steps:
1- I've set the same machine key for both of them.
2- I've set the coockie name.
3- I've set the domain name to "domain.com".
4- Also, I've set hardcoded coockie domain name to "domain.com" .
Everything was working fine when both of them were running on a single web server. Recently, I've been asked to move test.domain.com to another server. After moving, authentication ticket is not valid on the second server. I tested both of them on a single server again and everything was workinh fine, but in two servers users can't acces to test.domain.com. (Authentication Ticket is invalid)
Edited: The second server is a virtual (VMWare) server. I don't have any problem in physical servers. I checked the server's time to be synchronized. I also used fiddler to see if the server does not get the auth ticket and ther ticket is sent to the 2nd server. Note: Servers are located in different networks and maybe proxy or firewall causes this (I've no idea)
How do i store same file into multiple servers? My scenario is explained below Administrator module resides in production server ( "cccc" domain) which is accessible only within my company. Common module resides in DMZ and can be accessed by internet users. I have written a program to upload a .xls file to both the servers. My program is in administrator module and resides in cccc domain. I could upload the file to the server in my company but i cant upload it in DMZ. Following is the code to upload to ccc domain
FileInput.PostedFile.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("..TU" & ServerFileName))
Followins is the code to upload to dmz
FileInput.PostedFile.SaveAs("http://grtr/" & "/TU/" & ServerFileName) I will get the serverfilename using file upload control
Can multiple SSRS share the same DB? We're getting into an SSRS customization scenario, which may adversely affect our existing SSRS features, and I wanted to see if it was possible.
View 1 RepliesWe have built an asp.net application according to 3 tier architecture, but Data Tier and Application logic lies on the same server. Our client needs that to be deployed in 2 different servers. Only front end in web server DAL & BLL in app server. Database is in different server. All 3 servers are at different physical locations. How can we commuicate between these servers and our applicaton tiers? is there any option in IIS so that we can deploy only back end code in another server? what is the best approach to communicate between different application tiers when they are physically apart?
View 2 RepliesWe have an IVR product that reads a configuration database for callflow information. I am writing a tool for our implementation team that will allow them to add/delete/update the data in the configuration database. Once the tool is in production, the implementer will use only the production release of the tool to modify the configuration database in all four of the IVR regions (Dev, QA, Cert, and Prod). Each region has its own database with identical schemas. The tool has 'tabs' across the top for each region. If a user is currently working in the Dev region and clicks the QA tab, how do I switch my connection from the Dev db server to the QA db server?
View 3 RepliesA friend and I manage a large website for a company. The site is build using Visual Studio 2005 and is a series of nested web applications run inside a master application employing nested master pages. Currently we have to manually move files around folders and FTP them to various servers and I am looking for a way to be able to manage the deployment end of the site in a more automated fashion. I'd like to be able to work on my local version of a project and once I'm done be able to hit one button and publish the site to our internal testing server and then when testing is complete hit another button to deploy it to the live web servers. Right now we have to manually navigate the windows folders and copy pages, css files, images, swfs, etc and FTP them manually. The driver for this is that we have a new junior develop starting and want to remove the manual aspect in advance of him starting.
View 1 RepliesWe have a web application that is storiing all site data in HttpRuntime.Cache. We now need to deploy the application across 2 load balanced web servers. This being the case, each web server will have its own cache, which is not ideal because if a user requests data from webserver1 it will be cached, but there next request might go to webserver2, and the data that their previous request cached won't be available. Is it possible to use a shared-cache provider to share the HttpRuntime.Cache between the two web servers or to replecate the cache between them, so that the same cache will be available on both web servers?
View 4 Repliesbelow written question :
1.) What is the name of the OS process in which App Domain resides.
2.)if suppose There are Three Windows application hosted on a same envoirment and two instance is working for each application at a Time, means now total instance are six .what will happen among the below written cases :
a.) There will be six different app domain in a single OS process
b.) There will three app domain(one for each application) in a single OS process and some Parallel thread will be executed in each app domain for another instance.
c.) There will be Three OS process corresponding to each application.
3.) If eveything will remain same except there are three web application in place of windows in point 2, will there be any change in functioning.
I have 2 front end servers and 2 back end servers. There is a registration form in my web application. The registration form uses a Microsoft Wizard control. Lets say the Wizard control has 4 steps. After the fourth step, users click "Finish" and I display the "Thank you Message". The way the request is routed between the 2 servers is round robin. So lets say till the fourth step, the response comes from server A. After the user clicks "Finish", lets say the response now comes from server B. After they click "Finish", I am trying to access some information in the Wizard control (like Name, address and so on). Because the servers are now switched, the data is lost (at least thats what I think is happening). So all entries in the wizard control are now blank and when I try to read those values, they are null.
View 8 RepliesBoss comes in and demands that we change an existing dataload process written in .Net 2.0 to call stored procedures on two different servers rather than just one. In his mind (not a programmer) this should be a short overnight process. We have about 60 different SQL Commands that we need to change and test. Is there a simple way to do this that I can't think of? If there isn't we will use something like replication or database mirroring, which is my preference but is likely to get the cold shoulder from my boss, especially since I have never set these up before. A function that takes a SQLCommand as its argument and then iterates through as set of connections to execute the SQLCommand. Change all stored procs to call the same stored proc on a linked server.
View 1 RepliesI have a bunch of EC2 servers that are load balanced. Some of the servers are not sharing session, and users keep getting logged in and out. How can I make all the server share the one session, possibly even using a partitionresolver solution
public class PartitionResolver : System.Web.IPartitionResolver
{
private String[] partitions;
public void Initialize()
{
// create the partition connection string table
// web1, web2
partitions = new String[] { "192.168.1.1" };
}
public String ResolvePartition(Object key)
{
String oHost = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.Host.ToLower().Trim();
if (oHost.StartsWith("10.0.0") || oHost.Equals("localhost"))
return "tcpip=127.0.0.1:42424";
String sid = (String)key;
// hash the incoming session ID into
// one of the available partitions
Int32 partitionID = Math.Abs(sid.GetHashCode()) % partitions.Length;
return ("tcpip=" + partitions[partitionID] + ":42424");
}
}
So, I am the approach David Hayden posted on his blog [URL] to create a salt and hash the user's password by taking the user's raw password and the generated salt and using SHA1 to hash the value. I then store the salt and the hashed password in the database. zhe website is currently load balanced, so I was wondering if resulting hash value would be the same for both servers. Here is the snippet of code posted on David Hayden's blog:
private static string CreateSalt(int size)
{
//Generate a cryptographic random number.
RNGCryptoServiceProvider rng = new RNGCryptoServiceProvider();
byte[] buff = new byte[size];
rng.GetBytes(buff);
// Return a Base64 string representation of the random number.
return Convert.ToBase64String(buff);
}
private static string CreatePasswordHash(string pwd, string salt)
{
string saltAndPwd = String.Concat(pwd, salt);
string hashedPwd =
FormsAuthentication.HashPasswordForStoringInConfigFile(
saltAndPwd, "sha1");
return hashedPwd;
}
The reason I ask is that this code uses the code snippet: FormsAuthentication.HashPasswordForStoringInConfigFile(saltAndPwd, "sha1");
The question: Is it possible to configure multiple SMTP servers or update the SMTP object server information at runtime?
Description of problem: The site I'm working on has a few pages which send emails. Our site is using Gmail so even though it's a custom domain our email is sent out though Gmail SMTP servers.
Some emails come from the system and some emails come from users in certain groups. I have an SMTP server configured with the admin email for the system e.g. admin@mysite.com This works fine and when I get the email it shows from admin@mysite.comOne of our user groups let's call it "groupA" has an email configured on our domain i.e. groupA@mysite.com When I send the email and specify a from address for the MailMessage object as groupA@mysite.com it still shows up in my outlook as coming from admin@mysite.com I did a little further testing and if I specify both the from address and the ReplyTo as groupA@mysite.com it will show as From=admin@mysite.com but when I choose reply in outlook it shows groupA@mysite.com My best guess is that Gmail is overwriting the From address with the SMTP user to prevent email spoofing.
I found this: http://www.systemnetmail.com/faq/4.1.aspx but it won't work for me since group A, B, and C all need to send emails from the same page.
Can Asp.Net 4 Webforms handle url routing for differing domain names?
Ex.
www.abc.com
www.admin.abc.com
www.domainname.com
www.admin.domainname.com
I would like to make a single app to handle the requests coming from the above URLs.Most of the scenarios I have found point to having url routing based on a single domain and multiple web pages.
We are having a project which is for various online application systems for an educational institute. (Asp.Net 2.0 Web Site)
initially we developed all applications in single project with proper folder structure. but now we want to make each application as separate product.
all applications share single authentication(Obviusly this is single project) want to keep that way only.
I want to split project in smaller projects but want to keep shared authentication so how should i orgnise this project in IDE.
Also i need guidence on hosting such project
i should make small projects within single solution file. and at the time of publish amke single virtual directory to host the root project(login.aspx etc) and in subdirectories i should host other projects. so this way SSO(single sign on) across applications is possible ..
So its a ASP.NET problem where two users using the same machine, same browser:
User 1 logs in the domain.
User 1 changes some data without saving it.
User 2 logs in the domain in a separate tab.
User 1 switches back to his tab and saves the data.
User 1 actually saved the data into User 2!!
This is caused by the following mechanism:
Different tabs in the same browser seems to share the same session id.
We are storing user auth in cookie and the cookie is shared between tabs (same domain)
Therefore, when User 1 request to save, it is recognized as User 2 since the cookie has been updated to User 2.
So I'm wondering if there's any other methods to prevent this from happening, other than:
1. Use cookieless session so the session is embedded in uri.
2. Always include a hidden field in page to indicate which user owns the page.
I have built a website and now the customer wants to split it between three different domains. What is the best way to do this? This is what I have so far.
c:/website1/ points to www.website1.com

c:/website1/vd2/ points to www.website3.com

i have an requirment where an user can enter multiple email address.
The validation should ensure that he should enter address in the format "something@abc.com".
my existing validation ensures that some text is entered before "@" symbol and "abc.com" is the domain.
@"w+([-+.']w+)*@abc.com$";
I would need my regex to check for the delimiter ";" between two mail id's .
valid: a@abc.com |
a@abc.com;b@abc.com|
invalid: a@abc.comm | a@abc.com,b@abc.com | @abc.com |
a@abc.comb@abc.com|
I've tried many links but ther were of no use and i'd be grateful if someone could help me modify the current one to suit my requirments
We are upgrading the asp.net 2.0 web application to asp.net 4.0. The application contain three main modules (sub application) like End User, Franchise and Admin with separate web.config, asp.net form Authentication, login page and running with single domain. the URL like,mydomain.com/login.aspxmydomain.com/franchise/login.aspxmydomain.com/admin/login.aspx In asp.net 2.0, working fine with 3 sub applications with separate form authentication under a single domain name and also we can working with all threes in same time. After the up gradation process (ASP.NET 2.0 to 4.0),We didn't run all three applications in same times and also form authentication crossed.
View 2 Replieshow to redirect multiple domain name on the one website that is hosted on IIS server???
View 2 RepliesHoping there's been a "best practices" way to accomplish this so far. Basically, I'm building an ASP.NET MVC 3 site that I would like to host from a central database and server. I'd like for [domain1].com and [domain2].com to point back to this one server. Ideally, I'd like this server to see a request from domain 1, and serve content relevant to domain 1 (which is essentially a category of topical information -- the rest of the structure would be the same). I'd like folks not to get redirected away from that domain if possible.I'm thinking I should map each domain to a specific static IP, have all connections through those IPs connect to the central site, and return relevant data that way.What experiences have folks had doing this with the .NET stack, and are there any "best practices" to consider in this case?This might not be as clear as it could be; I'll aim to revise as I get questions.
