I have a folder inside my web application which requires a login. In web.config I have the following:
<location path="Admin">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<deny users="?"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
I can't login, it displays always the login dialogbox even the credentials are correct.
Anyone any ideas ?

I have created 2 folders in my asp.net project. (Account and AdminFolder)
I want to restrict the Register.aspx page to Admin users only.
My Login.aspx page is in the Account folder and I have included a web.config in that folder with the following code;
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<system.web>
<authorization>
<deny users="?"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</configuration>
I have placed the Register.aspx file in the AdminFolder with the following web.config code.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow roles="Admin"/>
<deny users="*"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</configuration>
In testing this approach out, I have tried to launch the application by going directly to the Register.aspx file. As expected, I am redirected to the Login.aspx page.
The url showing up in the browser is
http://localhost:49319/Account/Login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fAdminFolder%2fRegister.aspx
I login as an Admin user and I can see that I am logged in as my header hyperlink changes to logout. (I can also navigate to other files in Account to confirm I am logged in) However, the application remains at the login page instead of redirecting to the Register.aspx page.
I expected to be redirected to the Register.aspx page when login was successful.
Even once I am logged in as Admin user, I am unable to navigate directly to the Register.aspx page. I am redirected to Login.aspx.
I confirmed (by way of my Sql Server database) that the user in my test case is in the Admin role.
Can anyone nudge me in the right direction here? Thanks in advance for you time and consideration.
Try Changing your web.config in AdminFolder to:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow roles="Administrator"/>
<deny users="?"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</configuration>
Typically that is the RoleName as it appears in the DB.
I see my error. I was allowing Admin role and then denying all roles (which would include Admin). I should have used the following in AdminFolder
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow roles="Admin"/>
<deny users="?"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</configuration>
Thanks for all the feedback.
I have a smart-card enabled website where in IIS, Anonymous Authentication is disabled, SSL is enabled.
The IIS root also has Anonymous Authentication disabled, but Active Directory Client Certificate Authentication enabled.
Static Content role service is also installed.
In the web.config, I have
<authorization>
<deny users="?"/>
</authorization>
Following that, I have
<location path="/css/main.css">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="*" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
<location path="images">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="*" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
In both the css and images folders, I also have web.config's consisting of:
<configuration>
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="*"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</configuration>
I use an AppPool running with a custom identity, let's say APUser
On the web server for those folders, I have permissions set to read for APUser, IUSR, Anonymous Logon, Users, IIS_IUSRS, and Everyone.
The url is in trusted sites on the browser.
Initially, the images and css return error 500 (using network capture with dev tools). After logging in, they show fine.
Same issue running on the server itself.
If I enable Anonymous Authentication in IIS, disable Active Directory Client Certificate, and change deny users="?" to allow users="*", everything works fine.
What am I missing to disable Anonymous Authentication, but still show images/css?
web.config authorization settings works sequentially. That is since you are denying unauthenticated users by using following, it does not read anymore of your config.
<authorization>
<deny users="?"/>
</authorization>
Read here.
Remarks At run time, the authorization module iterates through the
and tags until it finds the first access rule that fits
a particular user. It then grants or denies access to a URL resource
depending on whether the first access rule found is an or a
rule. The default authorization rule in the Machine.config file
is so, by default, access is allowed unless
configured otherwise.
Change it so that they come before your deny unauthenticated user part.
<location path="/css/main.css">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="*" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
<location path="images">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="*" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
<authorization>
<deny users="?"/>
</authorization>
From "Allow" on MSDN here
"users
Required String attribute.
A comma-separated list of user names that are denied access to the resource. A question mark (?) denies anonymous users and an asterisk (*) indicates that all users are denied access."
Now, I take it that there's an error in there and they want to say "allow".
So you want <allow users="?,*" />
Under Group Policy for "Impersonate a client after authentication", add IIS_IUSRS
Working on custom authentication module for ASP.NET WebForms application. Almost finished but have one not implemented issue yet... how to check that authorized user has permission to get access to the page?
The application has web.config with:
<location path="SomePage.aspx">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow roles="Admin"/>
<deny users="*"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
How to check from the custom HttpModule the page, that was just requested, allowed to be shown to authorized user?

i have a simple website with asp.net membership authentication, so some reason which ever password i type for any user just logs me in. Whether i type fffffffff or 55555555 as the password for any user, am just loggedin.
The wasn't behaving this way just 1 day back. Any ideas what could be wrong, or where i should start troubleshooting from?
Make sure you have:
<configuration>
<appSettings/>
<connectionStrings/>
<system.web>
<authorization>
<deny users="?"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</configuration>
in your Web.config and not:
<allow users="*"/> or <allow users="?"/>
to ensure that you're not allowing anonymous access.
check the webconfig as see if you have the code to prevent anonymous users loggin in and to redirect them....
I just start to learn web programming using IIS 7.5 in windows 2008 R2, and ASP.Net 4.
I notice that both IIS and ASP.Net can define Authentication rules. In IIS, there is a form authentication setting where I can redirect user to specified page for authentication, like below:
And then, in ASP web.config file, I find similar settings:
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="~/Account/Login.aspx" timeout="2880" />
</authentication>
When I finish both settings, I assume any page request will be redirect to the login.aspx page. But it didn't. So I am confused. How do the 2 sets of configs work together? And why page request is not redirected?
Thanks
Update
Finally I get it working and I think I understand it now. My website structure is like below:
It is about modifying Autherization rules. Deny all unauthorized users for root:
<authorization>
<deny users="?" />
</authorization>
CSS files should be allowed for all users, so I have Styles\web.config:
<authorization>
<allow users="*" />
</authorization>
and only allow unauthorized users to access register.aspx, so I have Account\web.config:
<location path="Register.aspx">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="*"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
<system.web>
<authorization>
<deny users="?"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
There's another component you need to configure: authorization. If you don't, unauthorized users have access to all pages and will not be redirected to the login page. For example:
<authorization>
<deny users="?" />
</authorization>
This specifies that all unauthenticated users are denied access to pages in your application. The authorization element is part of the system.web configuration section.
When you set something in IIS with authentication ( in your case form authentication). It also change your mapped project webconfig file with the same settings. That's why you see same information in both modules.
