MachineKey Config Section Default Location?

Sep 21, 2010

Where do I find the machineKey config section for ASP.NET?

I don't have one in my application Web.config, there isn't one in the root Web.config and there isn't one in my machine.config.

Does this mean there is some other default hardcoded into ASP.NET? If so, what are the defaults? (For .NET 2 and 4)

Having read this: [URL]

i was expecting to find something like this, somewhere:

<machineKey
validationKey="AutoGenerate,IsolateApps"
decryptionKey="AutoGenerate,IsolateApps"
/>

Edit: the 1.1 docs seem fairly clear wrt default values: [URL] but the 4 docs are rather ambiguous [URL]

Setup Identical <machinekey /> Sections On Each Servers .config File?

Mar 2, 2010

We have a scenario using asp.net Forms Authentication in a web farm and need to setup identical <machinekey /> sections on each servers .config file.

Is it better to store the <machinekey /> section in machine.config rather then web.config? what's the advantages and disadvantages of each approach concerning security?

<machineKey validationKey="[keyhere]"
decryptionKey="[keyhere]" validation="SHA1" />

If its not secure enough, is there any way to encrypt <machinekey /> section like we encrypt our connectionsstring (with DPAPI)? (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms998280.aspx)

Adding MachineKey To Web.config On Web-farm Sites / Padding Is Invalid And Cannot Be Removed

Oct 4, 2010

We (out IT partner really) recently changed some DNS for a web farmed site we have so that the two production server have round-robin DNS switching between the two. Prior to this switch we didn't really have problems with WebResource.axd files. Since the switch, when we hit the live public URL, we get an error:

CryptographicException

Padding is invalid and cannot be removed.

When we hit the specific servers themselves, they load fine. I've researched the issue and it seems since they're sharing assets between two servers, we need to have a consistent machineKey in the web.config for each server so they can encrypt and decrypt consistently between the two. My questions are:

Can I generate a machineKey via a tool on the server, or do I need to write code to do this?

Do I just need to add the machineKey to the web.config on each server or do you think I'll need to do anything else to make the two server work together? (Both web.config's currently do not have a machineKey)

Why Can't Add Section To Machine.config

Mar 31, 2011

I would like to add this section to my machine.config in exactly the same way many articles and microsoft are suggesting:

<configuration>
<system.net>
<connectionManagement>
<add name = [URL]/>
<add name = "*" maxconnection = "2" />
</connectionManagement>
</system.net>
</configuration>

[URL] As soon as I do it though, I get this exception when trying to hit a page hosted on the IIS on the same machine: Parser Error Message: Unrecognized configuration section system.net. Source Error:

Line 9: settings that differ from their defaults.
Line 10: --><configuration>
Line 11: <system.net>
Line 12: <connectionManagement>
Line 13: <add address="*" maxconnection="24" />

Source File: C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFramework64v2.0.50727Configmachine.config Line: 11 Where is the problem and how can I modify the machine.config so that I can finally control the maxconnection value?

Security :: Encrypting Section In Web.config?

May 3, 2010

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?

C# - Best Way To Get The Proper Modules Section From The Web.config?

Jan 19, 2011

The code I've used to get the HTTP Modules is basically

HttpModulesSection modules = ((SystemWebSectionGroup)config.GetSectionGroup("system.web")).HttpModules;
// Depending on what we need to do...
//modules.Modules.Add(CreateSomeModule());
//modules.Modules.Remove("SomeOtherModule");

This worked fine up until IIS7. The migration command %SystemRoot%system32inetsrvappcmd migrate config "website/" moves the modules into system.webServer, so my code is now updating the wrong section. Is there a built in way to get the proper module section that should be modified? Or do I have to add a check for the Request.ServerVariables["SERVER_SOFTWARE"] and return system.web/system.webServer depending on the string I get back?

Configuration :: Registering A Custom Section In Web.config?

Feb 12, 2010

I'm getting an ConfigurationErrorsException when trying to load a custom section from my web.config.

I'm trying to register a custom section in web.config to load it later using a "Section Class".
Suppose my section is orderService, and I register it in web.config as shown:
<configuration>
<configSections>
<sectionGroup name="system.web.extensions" type="System.Web.Configuration.SystemWebExtensionsSectionGroup, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35">
</sectionGroup>
<section name="orderService" type="orderService"/>
</configSections>
<orderService available="true" pollTimeout="00:01:00" location="abc">
</orderService>
<appSettings></appSettings>
<connectionStrings/>

Then I try to load it with:

Configuration config = WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration(Request.ApplicationPath);
OrderService custSection = OrderService)config.GetSection("orderService"); <== The exception is thrown here (OrderService is a class that inherits from the class ConfigurationSection, and that defines a property for each orderService property, in this case: available, pollTimeout and location)

The exception says: An error occurred creating the configuration section handler for orderService: Could not load type 'orderService'. (my web.config path line 23) Does anybody know what am I doing wrong here? (I got it from the book APress: Pro ASP.NET 3.5 in C#)

I have a few pages that need to use SSL and I am confused bc I read you should set the forms authentication section in the web.config to use SSL. so if this is the case, the user logs in (login page is using ssl) the forms auth cookie is created and now if i redirect to the non ssl enable home page, does this mean the auth cookie will not be transmitted, so i can't display like a welcome module or know the username of the user who logged in?

Web Config Location Tag Not Working

Sep 23, 2010

We have an application that is making use of the location tag in the web.config file at the machine level - meaning like :WindowsMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0...CONFIGweb.config, the one that applies to the whole server - this application has lots of virtual directories under it and for each one there is a <location path="IIS Web App NameCustomerA">...This seems to work ok for that app. But then we have a second app on the same server, and I'd like to add location tags to that app's web.config file - meaning the local web.config file in the app's directory - and have each one of them specify a location tag in a similar way

Modifying Web.Config Handlers Section Generates Extra Unneeded Entries?

Jul 19, 2010

I've written a command line tool that deploys HTTP Handlers to an applications Web.Config file using a combination of System.Configuration, System.Web.Configuration and Microsoft.Web.Administration since it needs to register the handlers for both Classic and Integrated Modes as I don't know what mode end users will be using for their IIS deployments.

My issue is that is that when the tool is run the <handlers> section under <system.webServer> gets filled with the following extra unecessary entries as well as the entries I wanted to add:

[code]...

why this might be happening and how I can stop it?

When I save my configuration opened with System.Web.WebConfigurationManager I use ConfigurationSaveMode.Minimal so any inherited configuration (which is what this appears to be) should not get written.
