How can I figure out what is actually causing the following error? The page is the same as other pages but for some reason, only this page is having this error. It also only happens on the ISP (GoDaddy) who has a trust level of Medium and I can't set a breakpoint and try to catch it.
Server Error in '/' Application.

If you have had this issue or just know how I can fix or trace it please add your answer. Trust level of Medium is required by the ISP.
Have you tried using a local instance of IIS and setting the trust level to medium? That would help you debug and try stuff a little quicker.
(And is a good habit to get into anyway. You want to test in an environment as close to production as possible. And the VS web server definitely has a few important differences that can get you if you don't test in IIS too.)
I don't believe GoDaddy supports Full trust - though that may have changed recently. The error is caused by the System.IO.Path.GetTempPath call, which requires EnvironmentPermission.
The call stack prior to that is obfuscated, so my guess is it's from a component vendor. Check for an update or fix for partial trust from them, or replace it.
Setting breakpoints in obfuscated, non-debug assemblies are hard. It will likely lead you nowhere.
Find out why the obfuscated component is trying to access the temp path.

My application is throwing a Security Exception with the following details:
Description: The application attempted to perform an operation not allowed by the security policy
Exception Details: System.Security.SecurityException: Request for the permission of type 'System.Security.Permissions.SecurityPermission, mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed.

System.Net.ServicePointManager.set_CertificatePolicy(ICertificatePolicy value) +54
com.paypal.sdk.core.APICallerBase.SetTrustManager() +114
The application's trust level is set to medium and I've added to the [assembly: AllowPartiallyTrustedCallers] attribute to my project's assembly.
What can I do to address this issue? Does the System.dll allow partial trusted callers?
In digging a bit, the paypal method SetTrustManager() may attempt to reassign the ServicePointManager's Certificate Policy. This is OK, but it requires UnmanagedCode permission for the underlying code group.
I suggest you provide this permission in the .Net Framework Config console, and see if that helps.
Alternatively you can set the application's config "TrustAll" parameter to False so that SetTrustManager doesn't mess with the Certificate policy (assuming of course that the said Certificate policy is readily ok for whatever certs you'll need to use, in other words, this TrustAll thing may move past this permission error, but fail later if the Certificates)
In similar situations, I've found that the tools on this MDSN page can be very useful.
(in resp. to javacavaj note) To allow calls to unmanaged code for some assemblies:
Disclosure: I'm not an expert on .NET security model; the following should allow you alter permissions granted to some of your assemblies for diagnostic purposes for the issue at hand. For production purposes, please have your .NET configuration reviewed by a qualified admin as he/she may both ensure that the configuration is safe and suggest some way to structure the code groups, permission sets and other elements in ways that facilitate administration and deployment.
You can alter the .NET security policy with Mscorcfg.msc, i.e. the .Net Framework Configuration console. The details may vary with the .NET version and Windows host, but in general:
start mscorcfg (Ctrl panel | Admin Tools | Msft .Net Framework Configuration)
Run Time Policy node, then Manchine (or Enterprise, but better mess w/ local cfg first...)
Permission Sets node, Click "Create New Permission Set) on right panel
Provide name/description, next
Security | Add
Select Enable Assy execution, Allow calls to unmanaged assemblies and other permissions you may need | OK
Pick Code Groups Nodes, and navigate down to the group the assembly in question may belong (easier, yet create a group for it; in general you know who qualifies for a given group by seeing the "membership condition" tab in the group properties. Try and use Strong Name or GAC when possible.
In the Code Group properties's select the desired Permission set; optinally verify that this set is as desired for a given permission with the "View Permission" button.
Et voila...
Rather than the above, I wish I knew of a web site where such procedure can be [better] described. Maybe this Overview of the .NET Security Model can be of help. Googling several of the keywords provided can probably yield relevant pointers as well.
I have an ASP.Net app .net 3.5 SP1, running in Win7 . During the login process, something within the ASP.Net login control is causing a write to the security log (this sounds acceptable to me) in the event log. The problem is that it seems the app doesn't have permission to do this. There error is:
Description: The application attempted to perform an operation not allowed by the security policy. To grant this application the required permission please contact your system administrator or change the application's trust level in the configuration file.
Exception Details: System.Security.SecurityException: Request for the permission of type 'System.Diagnostics.EventLogPermission, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed.
The stack trace doesn't show a single line of code from my application, its all in the framework.
The last 5 lines are:
System.Security.CodeAccessSecurityEngine.Check(Object demand, StackCrawlMark& stackMark, Boolean isPermSet) +0
System.Security.CodeAccessPermission.Demand() +61

This same app works fine on XP SP2. I've hunted around and can't find how to give permissions. I've tried running hte app pool as LocalSystem and ApplicationPoolIdentity.
Whats the easiest way to get this running? Its my local dev machine and I don't care if I open up security holes, as long as I don't have to modify code (ie I need the solution to be an INETMGR change or web.config or some local permissions, etc).
Thanks!
This link appears to discuss the issue you are having.
I am not sure about the differences between the default CAS (code access security) on XP vs. win 7, however the assembly writing to the event log (and all calling assemblies) must have EventLogPermission.
You can add the AllowPartiallyTrustedCallers attribute or sign the assembly with a strong name key.
If you are writing to the default Application log you need to provide permisson to the LocalSystem before using it inside app pool.
Open RegistryEdit and goto
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\services\eventlog\Application
RightClick over the Applicatuion and click permissions
If the user(LOCALSYSTEM) is not present in the list then Add and Allow full Control
I wonder if someone could help me out with an issue I'm experiencing trying to get my site up and running on Goddaddy.

I'm runnung using IIS 7 in integrated mode. I've modified my web.config file by following the instructions in the readme file here:
http://www.codeplex.com/urlrewriter/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=22618
Thank very much in advance.
I hit this same exception on a new install, changing the App pool identity to NetworkService / aspnet fixed it.
Additionally, enabling Load User Profile on the app pool also worked.
Try the following:
App Pool -> Advanced Settings -> Load Users Profile = True
for me it was:
1. unblock all files
http://nicholasrogoff.wordpress.com/2010/09/01/how-to-bulk-unblock-files-in-windows-7-or-server-2008/
2.restart application pool
One cause for this problem is when you have done the totally odd thing of publishing you application on the server by using the server to download the application from the Internet. The files will then be marked as originating from the Internet, and security settings then prevent them from running.
The "downloaded-from-Internet" mark is stored in the file system as an NTFS alternative data stream. Use the "Streams" tool to display and remove the flags:

Then restart the application pool.
This is actually a known issue with GoDaddy's Medium Trust environment. However with the latest release of URL Rewriter 3.0 all these issues are now gone. Please get the latest release and let me know if you have any issues.
I had a similar issue with GoDaddy. Even though it didn't seem related at first since it's not in the stack trace (and may not apply to you since you're using third party code), removing Response.End() calls solved the issue in my case.
I had this issue because of a networked drive at work.When i moved my project to my desktop it started working again.
Host: GoDaddy Shared Hosting
Trust Level: Medium
The following happens after I submit a valid user/pass. The database has read/write permissions and when I remove the login requirement on an admin page that updates the database work as expected.
Has anyone else had this issue or know what the problem is?
Anyone?

If you're using any third party components you might want to check to see if the components are performing some type of security action. A year or so ago I ran into an issue with GoDaddy and the SubSonic ORM, it had a problem with a particular line of code that was requesting a level of security. I cracked open the code in reflector, took a look , verified it.
This can be a problem. If the component is causing you the pain try downloading the code and removing the suspect code, recompiling and run with that. That is exactly what I had to do w/ the SubSonic code a year or two back.
Have you tried playing around with the permissions of the files and folders in your site? I've had an error on godaddy where a new file couldn't be written because the directory had no write permission. You could try setting your whole root to read/write to see if that fixes your problem. To get to your permissions settings:
Login to GoDaddy
Click "My Hosting Account" and "Manage Account" next to your site name
Click "My Files"
Check the boxes next to files that are getting accessed then click the Permissions icon at the top
I am currently moving my website to GoDaddy and hit this error. I have a custom Membership Provider that uses hashed passwords based on the machinekey in the web.config. So it was this block of code that was causing the error:
// Get encryption and decryption key information from the configuration.
Configuration cfg =
WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration(System.Web.Hosting.HostingEnvironment.ApplicationVirtualPath);
machineKey = (MachineKeySection)cfg.GetSection("system.web/machineKey");
if (machineKey.ValidationKey.Contains("AutoGenerate"))
if (PasswordFormat != MembershipPasswordFormat.Clear)
throw new ProviderException("Hashed or Encrypted passwords are not supported with auto-generated keys.");
So the problem was trying to open the web.config using WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration, which I fixed by replacing the OpenWebConfiguration and GetSection lines with the following:
machineKey = (MachineKeySection)WebConfigurationManager.GetWebApplicationSection("system.web/machineKey");
I am trying to install Subtext in a medium trust level environment (host: Crystaltech) and am getting the following error (see below). I was able to do the administration setup but when it tries to go to the blog for actual use, boom.
I know I could "upgrade" the environment to a full trust level but I want to understand why the error is happening and the ramifications of that moving to fUll trust before I do it.
To expand upon this question; what are the "Trust Levels"?

I don't think there is another way to get around the error other than moving to full trust or removing the call to CheckUrlAccessForPrincipal() and recompiling.
But by the looks of things, this particular issue has already been corrected in the subtext SVN (revision 3290). They have also added a new build task for subtext 2.0.1 which should include the fix. I guess that will be released when it's ready.
Trust levels are really just pointers to some security.config files. The dafault trust levels are defined in C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG\web.config, "Medium" trust pointing to web_mediumtrust.config.
As for the exception, taking a look at System.Web.Security.UrlAuthorizationModule.CheckUrlAccessForPrincipal() with reflector reveals that the method is attributed with [SecurityPermission(SecurityAction.Demand, Unrestricted=true)], meaning that it requires an unrestricted security permission, which it does not have running under medium trust.
