I want to maintain different user authorization lists for different environments. I know that connectionstrings can be broken out in an external file with configSource, but how would I do this for the following?
<authorization>
<allow users="someuser1"/>
<allow users="someuser2"/>
<allow users="someuser3"/>
<deny users="*"/>
</authorization>
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.
look at the attached web.config? The last part doesn't seem to work although the path is correct. I've tried logging on the site with a use which is in no groups, but it can still access the page...

Searching StackOverflow, I found this question on how to Retrieve SMTP settings from Web.Config, but no details on how to update the SMTP back to the web.config file.
I started with the following code:
Configuration webConfig = WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration("~");
MailSettingsSectionGroup settings =
(MailSettingsSectionGroup)webConfig.GetSectionGroup("system.net/mailSettings");
SmtpSection smtp = settings.Smtp;
SmtpNetworkElement net = smtp.Network;
but was quickly clued in by Intellisense that SmptSection.Network is a Get (aka "read-only") accessor.
So how am I supposed to programmatically write my SMTP data back to web.config?
I am using ASP.NET MVC 3 and am trying to do something that should be really straight forward...
My application uses Forms authentication and that is working perfectly for controllers/actions. For example if I decorate either a controller or an action with the attribute below only members of the administrators group can view them:
[Authorize(Roles="Administrators")]
However I have a folder under the default Scripts folder called Admin. I only want members of the Administrators group to be able to access scripts within this directory so I created a new web.config in the directory with the following inside:
[code]....
However no matter whether a user is a member of the Administrators group or not they receive a 302 Found message and are then redirected to the login page.
If I change the web.config to allow user="*" then it works. It also works if I add an allow users="Username" for a specific user I am testing with.
I have to duplicate some settings (like connection string) between a web.config file that a WCF host uses and a web.config file that a web client uses.
In the interest of not duplicating, can I have both the web.configs read from a separate xml file? The two web.configs can be entirely in different solutions/projects so I guess this is not possible, but wanted to get other's opinion.
PS: I do understand I can use a database to store all the config settings.
How to protect our web.config file from external access.

View 1 RepliesI need a basic system that uploads a file to the server and stores the details in a database, with the ability to add/ edit/ delete whats there.
Most of the solutions I've seen have been far to indepth. I'd like something very simple so I can pick it apart and modify it.
We are experiencing some strange behaviour on one of our ASP.NET web servers (Windows 2003 64-bit). After some activity, two third-party controls are unable to run correctly. One is log4net (it does not write error messages out) and the other is a menu control (it displays eval message instead of picking up its license). The one common thread is that both controls pick up their config from external config files (linked to from web.config).
Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this or experienced this in any way. Is it related to file/folder rights? The server has been running fine for a while and just started exhibiting this behaviour. Perhaps it occurs around the time the worker processes are recycled.

Which is the better alternative when allowing file uploads on a page (through a Gridview populated by a coded DataSet)? Store the image itself in the database or to store only the path name to the saved file in file system. If it matters, I do not expect to have more than a few dozen images stored in the database at any given time.

The filenames need to be unique, how to do that. Should I use a guid?
How to retrieve the files, should I go directly to the database using the filename, make a aspx page and passing either filename or primary key as a querystring and then read the file.
What about client side caching, is that enabled when using a page like image.aspx?id=123 ?
How do I delete the files, when the associated record is deleted?

View 1 RepliesI am trying to break a large web.config file into smaller parts. This has been covered a few times on different stack overflow questions (like this or this) which recommend using the configSource or file attributes. The problem is this does not work for the system.webServer section used to configure IIS 7 in integrated mode. This is particularly bad for web.config files that have IIS Rewrite rules which tend to bloat the files.
