Web.config Location Tag - Want All The Pages Password Protected
Mar 21, 2011
I'm looking to deploy a web app and I have a simple question about the <location> tag of the web.config file. For the moment, I want all the pages to be password protected and I've created a simple login page with the login object. I've put all my .aspx file in a directory called AppMyPages and I've put this in the config file:
I would like to connect to a password protected shared location that has an access database using an ASP page. I have the user name and password needed to connect to the shared location but I am not sure how to set up the connection string in order to get this done. The access database I would like to connect to does not need a username or password, only the shared location does.
I want to make my web.config password protected so that external users do not open it. But my application should be able to access. Is there any way to do this?
Am trying to open a .pps/.ppt file through my vb.net code.....due to secure reasons this file is password protected,
However i will not like the end user to put a password when accessing through my application.
Hence i want to pass a password as a parameter while open such a password protected file.
Here is my code.
Reference URL: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/303717/EN-US/ Dim oApp As Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.Application Dim oPres As Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.Presentation Dim objpresset As Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.Presentations oPres = objpresset.Open(filename, Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoCTrue, Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoCTrue, Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoCTrue)
Where can i provide password while opening a ppt file...
With the System.IO.Compression i am able to convert a file to zip but how to make it password protected. I dont want to use any third-party library or dll. Is it possible to make a file password protected within c#. do not provide the link that doesn't meet above scenario.
I have a website that has anonymous authentication enabled. Now for a particular folder I want the users to be logged in with a userid and password. The user id and password is going to be same for everyone.
Eg user id is TEST and Password is answer. How can I do that?
I went in to that folder ->properties->directory security->edit-> And I disabled the anonymous access
But where should I add the User Id and Password? Under which option.
I'm running IIS 6 with ASP.NET 2.0.I enabled windows authentication for a folder in a website and gave permissions to a user. When I navigate to the page, the passowrd prompt pops up as expected and when entered correctly, the page loads. The page contains a file upload control. When I try to upload a file, the password prompt keeps popping up. ultimately it ends up as a 401 error. The user account does have write permissions to the floder, so I'm not understanding why I can get to the page with the credentials, but can't upload anything to that folder.
i have table data which i am currently writing to an excel file, but i need to be able to securely password protect the file. Ive been told excel passwords are easy to break, so is there another file type which i can dynamically write to and password protect for emailing elsewhere (and requiring receiver to type password in to access it)?
how can we attached secure PDF to mail in asp.net ...(Means when we attache any pdf to mail after getting mail at d opening of pdf it should ask password..)
I have completed sending attachment/pdf with email.
I have to send password protected attachment/pdf while sending email so that reciepeint should be asked to enter password while opening attachment/pdf and he will open attachment/pdf only after entering password.
I'd like my application to query a csv file from a secure website. Currently I have the user login to the site, manually query the csv, and have my application load the file locally. I'd like to automate this by having the user enter his login information, authenticating him on the website, and querying the data. The application is written in C# .NET. The url of the site is: https://www2.emidas.com/default.asp.
I've tested the following code already and am able to access the file once the user has already authenticated himself and created a manual query.
System.Net.WebClient Client = new WebClient(); Stream strm = Client.OpenRead("https://www3.emidas.com/users/<username>/file.csv");
Here is the request sent to the site for authentication. I've angle bracketed the real userid and password.

i just want simple mechanism to make images update at my website copyright protected, so i want to protect them witht the password. any of the techinque will do , i just want the iamges to be password protected so that i can dignose whether the uploaded image is not from my site.
There are some folders in my application that are only accessible by users in certain roles.In order to protect the contents of these folders, I placed web.config files in them which look like so:
[Code...]
Also,in the main web.config file, I have this configured:
[Code...]
However,when I try to access a folder that I'm not authorized to access, I'm not being redirected to unauthorized.aspx page as indicated in the main web.config. Instead,I'm getting sent to the login page.Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Here's the authentication section from the main web.config:
In one of my website I need to prevent direct access to non .aspx pages in a protected folder. Authentication works fine if I am going to [URL] but in one case my users are uploading html pages in that folder and if somebody cut and paste [URL]the page can be seen without the authentication process to be activated.
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
I wanted to impose specific timeout interval and request length on some specific pages that uploads documents of size up to 50MB. Hence I did the following config changes after going through some sites.
I keep getting error when I run the application. I tried various other ways like giving the complete path like <sitename>/<applicationname>/<v.folder name>/<filename>.I tried this on both IIS 6.0 and IIS 7.0.
The url format is somewhat like: [URL] To allow users to visit the login and recovery page, I've added the following entries to my web.config:
[code]....
Is there a form of notation so that I can skip the en-GB part and replace it with a wildcard? I want the login and recovery page etc. to be available regardless of the culture.
