I want to add a host header to a website which is working on IIS7 through a web application (asp.net 4.0 / C#).There are some examples in internet,but i guess most of them dont work on iis7.
(note:the web application is being hosted in same server so i guess there wont be a security problem while changing iis configurations)
Any help is appreciated,thanks
I found this solution and it works for me.This is a little function with couple parameters,just you have to find the id of yourwebsite in your iss configuration.After that you have to give the ip adress of the server (iis),and port number,and hostname to the function and it will add a hostheader by using the parameters you entered.For example
AddHostHeader(2, "127.0.0.1:81", 81, "newsHostHeader");
static void AddHostHeader(int? websiteID, string ipAddress, int? port, string hostname)
{
using (var directoryEntry = new DirectoryEntry("IIS://localhost/w3svc/" + websiteID.ToString()))
{
var bindings = directoryEntry.Properties["ServerBindings"];
var header = string.Format("{0}:{1}:{2}", ipAddress, port, hostname);
if (bindings.Contains(header))
throw new InvalidOperationException("Host Header already exists!");
bindings.Add(header);
directoryEntry.CommitChanges();
}
}
(note:do not forget to add to the page using
System.DirectoryServices; using Microsoft.Web.Administration; )
The above solution didn't quite work with IIS7.5 for me.
I eventually had to do this

In our I have company intranet a server, that is responsible for storing files. Initially, the server had to operate only in an intranet environment, but now there is a need to share files with external web applications. Making this server accessible from the internet is not an option.
I want to create a ASP.NET MVC solution that uses the WebClient to get these files from the intranet server and send back them to the user through FileResult of the external app. This client would be provided with custom domain user credentials. So far I have tried to create a CredentialCache class, set correct credentials and append it to WebClients Credentials property like in the following code:
public ActionResult Download(int id, string fileName)
{
var fileService = new FilesService();
var documentUrl = fileService.GetUrlFileByFileId(id);
string filePath = "http://my.intranet.com/" + documentUrl;
var fileNameFromUrl = filePath.Substring(filePath.LastIndexOf("\\") + 1);
byte[] filedata;
CredentialCache cc = new CredentialCache();
cc.Add(new Uri("http://my.intranet.com/"),
"ntlm",
new NetworkCredential("myUserName", "myPassword", "myDomain"));
using (var client = new WebClient())
{
client.Credentials = cc;
filedata = client.DownloadData(filePath);
}
string contentType = MimeMapping.GetMimeMapping(filePath);
var cd = new ContentDisposition
{
FileName = fileName,
Inline = false
};
Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", cd.ToString());
return File(filedata, contentType);
}
According to the question posted in Domain credentials for a WebClient class don't work it should work, but it’s not. It’s running only if I run the problem on localhost, but when I publish my solution on a test server, it return 401 error. My question is did how to get this working? And is it possible to download files through this method?
UPDATE--- I've published my test app on another server and it started to working. Now the test app is on another server than the server That stores files. Any ideas why it's not working when both are on the same machine?
401 error is unauthorized, so perhaps the issue is related to permissions. Are you sure the user account you are using to login to that folder has the proper access?
Ok, I found the solution on this site: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/distributedservices/2009/11/10/wcf-calling-wcf-service-hosted-in-iis-on-the-same-machine-as-client-throws-authentication-error/
The solution was to add an registry entry and add my web apps to this entry to allow back connections.
Is there a way to configure the .NET client so that it will work with a IIS hosted SingalR that uses Windows authentication?
If I disable windows authentication it works, but this is not an option
setting connection.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials does not help.
The code
public EventProxy(IEventAggregator eventAggregator, string hubUrl)
{
typeFinder = new TypeFinder<TProxyEvent>();
subscriptionQueue = new List<EventSubscriptionQueueItem>();
this.eventAggregator = eventAggregator;
var connection = new HubConnection(hubUrl);
connection.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
proxy = connection.CreateHubProxy("EventAggregatorProxyHub");
connection.Start().ContinueWith(o =>
{
SendQueuedSubscriptions();
proxy.On<object>("onEvent", OnEvent);
});
}
ContinueWith triggerst directly after Start and when the first subscription comes in I get a
The Start method must be called before data can be sent.
If I put a watch on the DefaultCredentials I can see that Username, Domain and Password are all String.Empty. Its a standard Console program, Enviroment.Username returns my username
Sure, set connection.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials. More details about credentials here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.credentialcache.defaultcredentials.aspx.
I have a Tridion Core Service Web Application to publish pages. When logged into the server and running it from there via a browser client calling a web service with ajax it works fine. However, when I run the application from my desktop it does nothing, and also throws no error messages.
*Edit:
The Web App hosting the web service is running as an 'Application' under the Tridion 2011 CMS website. This is done to avoid cross-domain ajax issues/
Update: The code below is working fine - both with the impersonate and also with Nick's solution. My issue was actually in how I was calling the web service from jQuery and using the appropriate URL. I am leaving the code and question so maybe it will help others.
My code is:
string binding = "wsHttp_2011";
using (var client = new SessionAwareCoreServiceClient(binding))
{
client.Impersonate("company\\cms_svc");
// ** Get Items to Publish
List<string> itemsToPublish = GetItemsToPublish(publishItem.TcmUri, client);
PublishInstructionData instruction = new PublishInstructionData
{
ResolveInstruction = new ResolveInstructionData() { IncludeChildPublications = false },
RenderInstruction = new RenderInstructionData()
};
PublicationTargetData pubtarget = (PublicationTargetData)client.Read(publishItem.PubTargetUri, readoptions);
List<string> target = new List<string>();
target.Add(pubtarget.Id);
client.Publish(itemsToPublish.ToArray(), instruction, target.ToArray(), GetPublishPriority(publishItem.Priority), readoptions);
}
Have at look at this page on SDL Live Content, which explains various types of scenarios for connecting as different users:

As per the docs, instead of impersonation you may want to establish your Core Service connection as follows using NetworkCredential:
using (ChannelFactory<ISessionAwareCoreService> factory =
new ChannelFactory<ISessionAwareCoreService>("netTcp_2011"))
{
NetworkCredential networkCredential =
new NetworkCredential("username", "password", "domain");
factory.Credentials.Windows.ClientCredential = networkCredential;
ISessionAwareCoreService client = factory.CreateChannel();
Console.WriteLine(client.GetCurrentUser().Title);
}
i am trying to host a wcf service which has a following attribute;
[ServiceBehavior(InstanceContextMode = InstanceContextMode.Single, ConcurrencyMode = ConcurrencyMode.Multiple)]
and i am creating host class like this;
var uri = new Uri("net.tcp://localhost:7951");
var binding = new NetTcpBinding();
host = new ServiceHost(typeof(ChatService), uri);
ServiceMetadataBehavior smb = host.Description.Behaviors.Find<ServiceMetadataBehavior>();
if (smb == null) host.Description.Behaviors.Add(new ServiceMetadataBehavior());
host.AddServiceEndpoint(typeof(IMetadataExchange), MetadataExchangeBindings.CreateMexTcpBinding(), "mex");
host.AddServiceEndpoint(typeof(IChat), new NetTcpBinding(), "");
host.Open();
So, on developer computer and dedicated server this is working. However, what i need to do is, host this on a VPS (vitual private server).
I thought making a web project and adding this code block to global.asax application start method. but this failed. I suspect problem that the port is closed from firewall maybe.
What solution should I follow?
How to get to know DNS name of the server where ASP.NET application is run?
I want to get string "www.somehost.com" if my application URL is http://www.somehost.com/somepath/application.aspx
Is there some property of Server, Contex, Session or Request objects for this?
Thanks!
This will get you the DNS IP for the server that is hosting the web site
void GetDNSServerAddress()
{
NetworkInterface[] nics = NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces();
foreach (NetworkInterface ni in nics)
{
if (ni.OperationalStatus == OperationalStatus.Up)
{
IPAddressCollection ips = ni.GetIPProperties().DnsAddresses;
foreach (System.Net.IPAddress ip in ips)
{
Console.Write(ip.ToString());
}
}
}
}
However, while writing this ive just seen your edited post, so i think this is what you are after is simply:
string host = Request.Url.Scheme + "://" + Request.Url.Host;
Hope this helps!
The HTTP_HOST server variable can give you what you need.
Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_HOST")
You can also get the 'machine name' using
System.Environment.MachineName
