I have been trying to create a web api 2 that is secure with individual account.
So I can easily create WebApi2 with individual account, see link below
http://www.asp.net/vnext/overview/authentication/individual-accounts-in-aspnet-web-api
And Self hosting is easy to do.
http://www.asp.net/web-api/overview/hosting-aspnet-web-api/use-owin-to-self-host-web-api
But I cannot figure out how to combine the solutions.
Far as I got was adding a console app to a webapi2. Which seems to run. But whenever I try and get the access token it returns
An unhandled exception of type 'System.Net.WebException' occurred in System.dll
Additional information: The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error.
If anyone knows of a solution that would be great. Thanks
This post is way old, but to anyone else who is having this issue and finds this question, I was able to get past the 500 Error by adding app.UseWebApi(config); after setting up config, as mentioned in this post:
http://odetocode.com/blogs/scott/archive/2013/07/24/self-hosting-webapi-with-katana.aspx
HOWEVER, I'm now getting a 401, unauthorized request for all of my requests, even though I have a valid token and I'm sending it the same way I did that worked in the non-self-hosted WebApi2 app. but I'm one step closer anyways.

I'm meeting an issue on Meteor with Accounts.forgotPassword method.
My email smtp is well set up as I can use Email.send() without any issue once app is deployed.
But strangely, accounts.forgotPassword return an internal error.
When looking at the logs I have this error :
Exception while invoking method 'forgotPassword' Error: Mail command failed: 550-Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable
I do not really understand why I would have mailbox unavailable error with Accounts.forgotPassword but not with Email.send()
Does anyone already met that kind of issues ?
I have already searched on the web for any clues but did not find anything :(
FYI I use ionos smtp
Since Email.send is working, I assume your MAIL_URL is set correctly, but your Accounts.emailTemplates is not. From https://docs.meteor.com/api/passwords.html:
In addition to configuring the email package’s MAIL_URL, it is critical that you set proper values (specifically the from address) in Accounts.emailTemplates to ensure proper delivery of e-mails!
I have created a UWP application for testing purposes in which my purpose is to be able the application to connect to a ASP.NET Web API with a certificate for Indivual User Accounts, I've hosted the db into localhost, after ensuring the connection its correct and everything its ok I have deployed my UWP app, the problem is that when I execute a call to a method inside the Account controller (api/Account), the compiler throws me an exception which is the following:
System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException
Message=An error occurred while sending the request.
Source=System.Net.Http
...
Inner Exception 1:
COMException: The text associated with this error code could not be found.
The certificate authority is invalid or incorrect
I have searched for the problem but there's not a "specific" or "correct" answer I've found, could anyone help me with this issue please?
if code snippets are required, let me know!
Someone any idea, I’ve been struggling with this for some time.
I'm using SignalR (Asp.net 5). when I try to debug local (ISS 10.0 express) everything is working fine. SignalR is working (Long poll).
Now when I publish the app to Azure it I can access : .azurewebsites.net/signalr/hubs
but I cannot access .azurewebsites.net/signalr/hubs/negotiate
it returns:
The specified CGI application encountered an error and the server terminated the process.
When my web app calls $.connection.hub.start() it will fail.
GET XHR http://xxxx.azurewebsites.net/signalr/negotiate [HTTP/1.1 502 Bad Gateway]
I’m running out of idea's. Don't know how I can get more debug information.
Small selection of my ‘already tried’ list:
Set $.connection.hub.url path manual to http://xxxx.azurewebsites.net/signalr/
Enable/Disable websockets
Removed forwardWindowsAuthToken from the web.config httpPlatform
EDIT:
Now getting more details on this error:
CryptographicException: The data protection operation was unsuccessful. This may have been caused by not having the user profile loaded for the current thread's user context, which may be the case when the thread is impersonating.
Still absolutely no idea how to solve this!
Solved by using appBuilder.UseAesDataProtectorProvider();
(from Owin.Security.AesDataProtectorProvider;)
I have no idea if this is the best solution.
I've tried everything possible, to setup nJupiter.DataAccess.Ldap as the membership provider on our intranet based web application built using asp.net 3.5.
Challenges I am facing:
Not able to authenticate the user using the default login webpart (says Your login attempt was not successful. Please try again)
I tried this code and I receive a COMException : "There is no such object on the server."
var ldapMembershipUser = System.Web.Security.Membership.GetUser("username") as LdapMembershipUser;
if (ldapMembershipUser != null)
{
var givenName = ldapMembershipUser.Attributes["givenName"];
}
I have placed my web.config and the nJupiter.DataAccess.Ldap.config here:
web.config : http://pastebin.com/9XdDnhUH
nJupiter.DataAccess.Ldap.config : http://pastebin.com/WsSEhi98
I have tried all possible permutations and combinations for different values in the XML and i am not able to take it forward. Please guide. I just am not able to connec to the LDAP and authenticate the user or even search for users.
Just looking at your config is unlikely to be enough since I don't know your Domino server's confguration, so my answer isn't an attempt to fix your problem. It's an attempt to teach you how I would approach it if it were my problem. Here's what I do to troubleshoot connections and queries from code to Domino LDAP:
Configure the Domino LDAP server for logging the highest level of debug information with the notes.ini setting LDAPDEBUG=7. See this IBM technote for more info.
Use an LDAP client and figure out how to successfully connect to the Domino LDAP server. I like the free Softerra client for this. Check the logs and save off the info from your successful connection.
Now run your code and compare what you see in the logs against the successful connection.
If the code is making it past authentication but failing on the query, then find the actual query in the log, go back to your LDAP client, figure out what the query should have been, and adjust your code's configuration appropriately.
I am using reCaptch in my MVC 3 web app running in the localhost.
Things were working fine few weeks back but suddenly failing.
Suddenly getting this error.
if(!ReCaptcha.Validate(_config.RecaptchaPrivateKey)){ <-- times out here
//process other fields in the form
}
As soon as I fill the form and hot submit I get this error :
The operation has timed out
Description : An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current ...
Exception Details : System.Net.WebException: The operation has timed out
Is this a proxy issue?
Is this because my site on localhost runs on port 3316?
localhost:3316/user/signup
I saw some posts that suggests that reCAPTCHA expects port 80 but my app runs on port 3316
What can be the issue?
Thanks
I got around this by creating proxy class that inherits IWebProxy.
Then specifying to use this proxy when internal, I had to transform it out for other environments that didn't need to use it.
See this question and accepted answer:
Is it possible to specify proxy credentials in your web.config?
The above link took some finding, so I favourited it for future use.
