Security :: Embedding Plain-text Passwords?
Nov 19, 2010
I'm looking to create my application as secure as possible. Now I have following line of code:
[Code]....
As you can see, my password is in plain-text in the code. Now, I presume it's easy to decompile a code using a tool and getting your hands on the password. Since these are my AD Admin-credentials this is not that good.The AuthenticationTypes are secure, I think. They encrypt the data before sending it to the network.So there's just the problem of the plain-text password. I've searched for it on Google but can't find the proper solution. I've found alot about encrypting passwords in the web.config.

I setup a website to use hashed passwords with the membership provided by Asp.net. I'm looking for a way to convert all passwords to clear text. Hashed passwords are overkill for this site and many users can't figure out how to cut and paste the complex temporary password when they request a forgotten password. I understand that you can't retrieve a hashed password.
<membership defaultProvider="CustomizedProvider" userIsOnlineTimeWindow="15">
<providers>
<clear/>
<add name="CustomizedProvider"
type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider"
applicationName="MyApplication"
connectionStringName="MyConnString"
enablePasswordRetrieval="false"
enablePasswordReset="true"
requiresQuestionAndAnswer="true"
requiresUniqueEmail="false"
passwordFormat="Hashed"
minRequiredPasswordLength="5"
minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0"/>
</providers>
</membership>

My issue today is that i have a MySQL Database and am using the security framework provided by the ASP.NET Membership and Role Providers...I override the default methods with my own MySQL.
Now the issue comes in when i someone would like to have their password reset. My application is running entirely on an Intranet so i cannot have their passwords emailed to them. Is there a way i can have this information displayed in any way so that the user can use it to Log Reset, Create Accounts or Recover their lost passwords on an intranet without the administrators intervention?
Recently i had an approach as follows. In my web.config<system.net><mailSettings><smtp deliveryMethod="pickupDirectoryLocation" and my location was a folder on C drive as c:/SavedPasswords. Now i understand this was such a big security threat and thats why i am looking for a better option.
I would have that folder created using my System.IO and then the Mail is dropped into that folder. Then after the process is successful, i tell the user to check into that location and Read its content.
Then there is a global variable that is set to true...meaning that the folder at c:/ has been created. then there is a Method in a certain class that once it sees this variable True, it reads the readers c:/ and deletes that folder "save" if it exists;

I have a small database, with a very small number of users. The passwords were stored as clear as the database was so small and held no sensitive data. The database is now to be expanded and passwords are required to be encrypted. I can change the Password Format in the web.config, but is there a way to change the existing passwords from clear to encrypted?

I am using a GenericHandler to print information out as text/plain in the client browser.
Currently when I run the app, the title-bar says something like http://localhost:3014/myApp/ShowReport?id=123456
I do need to modify the actual url. I just want a user-friendly title in the browser tab that is more descriptive of the report they are looking at. So if the user selects to view report TI591, then TI591 will appear in the browser tab.

To meet the needs of a colleague, I must get plian text into a MSMQ message queue. Trouble is, Sytem.Messaging results in a body wich defaults to xml content. I had thoght that this would get round the problem - but it doesn't:
[Code]....
The body content looks rather strange actually - it reads:
54 65 73 74 20 54 65 78 Test Tex
74 20 4D 65 73 73 61 67 t Messag
65 e
Any thoughts on how to get rid of all those numbers and just have a plain text body?

I have a C# project in Visual Studio that produces an aspx page. The code I am editing is in default.asp.cs. When I build the project a file default.aspx is produced. This file looks something like this:
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="CSRValidationConnector._Default" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" [URL]-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="[URL] >
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
When I make my web request most of this page comes back. But I want the page to return only plain text and not any of this HTML. How do I configure things so that nothing is returned except what I add via Response.Write calls in default.aspx.cs?

If I were to respond to an http request with a plain text in PHP, I would do something like:

How would I do the equivalent in ASP.NET?

I am trying to use an accordion control in a sharepoint webpart. The problem though is that all panes that i add to the accordion appear on the page as plain text (no graphics whatsoever). Also, if i hover the mouse over the control or press on a pane using IE8, then i get the error message that the variable $common is empty or not an object.

Having spent considerable amount of time in ASP.NET security community I would like to share this.
There are three ways of resetting and changing passwords explained at
Microsoft ASP.NET site[URL]
Step 1: Helping Users Recover Lost Passwords
Step 2: Changing Passwords
Step 3: Allowing Administrators to Change Users' Passwords
In step 1 and step 2 end user passwords are sent by an email.
In Step 3: functionality is explained where administror changing the password and sending through email msg. refer "I encourage those readers interested in this functionality to become more familiar with the code and try extending the functionality to include sending an email to the user whose password was changed. Query
Is Sending passwords by emial secure enough or best security password at all? I have implemented functionality where Admin sending passwords to end users by changing once in 3 months. End users expressed their views that sending passwords by email is not secure. When there is security threat in sending passwords by email, Microsoft security experts should not emailing passwords in above mentioned article, which is still up to date.

I am having the issue where I want people to paste plain text and not any word formatting.
Obout_theo gave the code below, which made the normal ctrl + V paste in plain text the whole time. Which is perfect for my need.
BUT, most users use paste from the context menu and this pastes in word format. Does anyone know the answer to this problem?

Is there a pre-existing library to extract plain text form Open XML file formats (e.g. docx, pptx, and xlsx) files?
I require this to populate a lucene.net index.
I've found this example which extracts text from docx and it seems to work okay. But before building my own solution based on this I was wondering if there's something already available for the other file formats?
