View 1 RepliesI have a db connection string 'ApplicationServices' defined in the connectionString section of web.config and 3 Entity Framework connection strings which have the provider connection string attribute with the same connection string as the one in 'ApplicationServices'. Is there a way to reference connectionString in 'ApplicationServices' for the provider connection string attribute of the EF connection string in the web.config, rather than providing the connection string all over again?

View 1 RepliesMy boss does like storing the connection string and credentials in the web.config - even when its encrypted.
He also doesnt want the IIS box and SQL box to both be in the same domain, or have trusted domains.
Is there a more secure method of connecting to SQL? Is there some kind of token login?

I have been searching internet in order to secure my connection string in the web.config file and setting the Login controls connection strings in runtime
TEverything about encrypting connection strings works fine on local machine. I can do it programmatically and on aspnet_regiis.exe
My questions are How can I set the connection string to any login control in runtime? How can I encrypt my connection string on my shared hosting ?How can I use aspnet.regiis.exe to encrypt my config file on shared hosting ? How to define the commands ?If I can find a solution to my 1st question, 2nd doesnt matter anymore.
i am receiving this error when trying to use my membership provider: After googling the error most peoples problems are fixed by removing the old connection string first but this has not worked for me.
I have used a simple custom memberhip provider with one table.
On shared hosting with 123-reg.

At the configured trust level (below High trust level), the SSE provider can not automatically create the database file.Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

View 10 RepliesI have a very basic web site that uses a standard login control. It was original built using ASP.NET 2.0, and when I preformed a few site improvments, VS 2010 upgraded the site to version 4.0. Locally, everything is fine. But live, everything is working except the login authentication. All other pages that use the database work fine.
does the upgrade process affect the database? As this is the only thing I've not replaced on the live server.
The error I get with the login is:
The SSE Provider did not find the database file specified in the connection string. At the configured trust level (below High trust level), the SSE provider can not automatically create the database file Any thoughts?
I have looked for ideas on this and read several posts but none of them seems to be because the problem is that web.com (my host) doesnt allow us to update web.config on their server programmatically. I can use example codes and encrypt them on my local pc but heres the error i get when I run them on the live site:
An error occurred loading a configuration file: Request for the permission of type 'System.Security.Permissions.FileIOPermission, mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed. (machine.config)
In the web.config, how do add a connection string by using a window authentication with the username and password? I have tried like this and it keeps ignoring the username and password
<connectionStrings>
<clear/>
<remove name="LocalSqlServer"/>
<add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=ufiledb;Data Source=MyServer;User Id=user1;Password=xxxxxx" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
</connectionStrings>
My problem is that I'm going to have a SQL Server database and website that accesses that database via a hosting provider, most likely GoDaddy.com, using ASP.Net. I need to make sure the connection string in the web.config file is as secure as possible, because the database will actually be storing trivia questions for a game I'm developing, and the clients will be accessing these questions, saving specific state related details, and other details, to the database, so every player that plays the game will have their details stored in this database. I need to ensure hacking is very difficult to accomplish.
From my research it appears as though the only viable solution for your web.config when you've got a hosting account with something like GoDaddy.com is to use SQL Server security to connect to your SQL Server database and place those details in the web.config file. Is this correct? It seems that this is the most likely scenario for most users, because we don't have access to our hosting providers IIS servers in order to use Windows authentication with SQL Server access and then use DPAPI encryption from there.
In asp.net mvc project I am using MYSQlMemberShipProvider. Now I want that instead of reading the connection string from web.config file, it will read the connection string from external file every time. So that I am implementing the cutsom mebership provider class, this class inherits the MemberShipProvider class. But the problem is that if I inherits the MemberShipProvider class then I have to impelment all of its method in my cutsom membership provider class, But I want to use all other inbuilt methods of MemeberShip. What can i do. I only want to add the code like below:
public class CustomSqlMembershipProvider :MembershipProvider
{
public override void Initialize(string name, NameValueCollection configs)
{
base.Initialize(name, configs);
Connectionstring objProducts = // redaing the connection string.
}
}
But on compiltaion it is giving me the error does not implement inherit abstract member.
I have identity impersonate = true in the Web.config file. I have integrated security = true in the DB connection string in the Web.config file.Before identity impersonate was true,users were able to access the DB through the web service account (seemingly).Now I get an error which says " Login failed for ... " because I am aware there is no specific account for that user in the permissions for that DB instance.I needed to set identity impersonate = true because the web service does not have access to the Active Directory,which I need to retrieve certain user information.
My question is,does identity impersonate = true override the integrated security and attempt to user the authenticated user's account to connect to the DB? Is there a simple way to prevent this in the Web.config itself?If not,would programatically impersonating the user within the Active Directory query functions and setting identity impersonate = false do the trick here?
My website security is configured with "Windows Integrated Security" only (anonymous is disabled).
I also want to set a specific account to run the w3wp.exe process using the
Application Pool Identity to a domain account.
Running directly from the server works without any problem but from remote computers I always get the authenticaion window then the 401.1 error (after 3 attempts).
It seems that its the combination of "Windows Integrated Security" along with the "Application Pool Identity" that causes the problem. When I disable one of the two it works properly.
My server is Windows Server 2003 R2, running IIS 6.0.

View 4 RepliesI have made my web site into an application.
I have disabled annonymous, on IIS6
<authentication mode="Windows"/>
<identity impersonate="true"/>
in my webconfig
and i am using both
HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name
Request.LogonUserIdentity.Name.ToString
to retrive the username.
The problem is i am being prompted to logon, i don't want the user to have to login as this is an intranet.
I am preparing for an Access2007 db conversion at the beginning of the year and would like to know what the best process would be for connecting to the sqlserver2005 database. I have read about adding the connection string to the web.config file. I have also read about using ADO.NET and put the connection information into a class and not the web.config file.
I would like to hear from others as to what you have used, are using, or plan on using for a webapp (vs2010), and why so I can get an understanding.
I have an ASP.Net website running on IIS7. The Application Pool is set to ASPv4 Classic.

My question is, when I want to connect to SQL using a "trusted connection" in the Connection String, what user will actually be passed into SQL?
I thought it would pass my logon details, but it is coming back with an NT AUTHORITYANONYMOUS LOGON error, which seems to point towards it not passing in my logon.
What's happening is when windows authentication/authorization fails the user get's a login prompt in IE6, IE7 and FireFox. Only when user clicks Cancel button in login prompt they are getting to 401 error page. What I am trying to achieve is to automatically redirect the user to a custom error page when getting 401 error instead of getting login prompt. Is this possible to suppress the login prompt in this scenario or is it this way by design?Here is my setup:I have windows integrated authentication configured in asp.net 2.0 web app.

In IIS I have website Directory Security configured to use Integrated Windows Authentication and disabled Anonymous Authentication
I've got Integrated Security up and running.Am I correct that when users initially access the site that they have to enter their user name & password? I was thinking that Integrated Security would allow the user to go directly to the site (it is an on intranet) without having to enter the un/password. My thought was that Integrated Security would eliminate the needs for the user to sign in once they've signed into Windows when they start up their machines.
