Professional ASP.NET 2.0 Security, Membership, and Role Management

Otber topics: * Single ASP.NET Login To Multiple Domains And Subdomains

• Membership Accounting System

• November 2004 - Announcing ASP.NET 2.0 user management and role based security - http://www.irishdev.com/blogs/fmcgurren/archive/2004/11/15/275.aspx
• Good introduction to the new ASP.net 2.0 controls: http://steveorr.net/articles/ASP2Controls.aspx

Devstudio 2005 and ASP.NET 2.0 provide an ASP.NET Web Site administration tool. It gives a nice way to list users, list their roles, list roles on the system, setup new roles, and assign roles to users. It does have some limitations though:

• it does not show the security questions entered by users
• it does not allow for setting passwords for users
• is only available by default on development machines.
• is not available by default on production machines
• is normally only available from the localhost machine (that is, not remotely)

Changing Password Length and Required Alphanumeric characters on ASP.NET 2.0 Login control

• http://odetocode.com/Articles/427.aspx

Add this to the system.web portion of the web.config file for the web application: <membership> <providers> <remove name="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider" /> <add name="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider" type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider" connectionStringName="ConnectionStringAspNetMembership" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="true" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="true" applicationName="/" requiresUniqueEmail="false" passwordFormat="Hashed" maxInvalidPasswordAttempts="5" minRequiredPasswordLength="7" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="1" passwordAttemptWindow="10" passwordStrengthRegularExpression="" /> </providers> </membership>

And this needs to be part of the connection strings: <add name="ConnectionStringAspNetMembership" connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\ASPNETDB.MDF;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

Google: asp.netwebadminfiles

Q. Has anyone modified ASP.NETWebAdminFiles?Create to run on their webserver? This tool manages membership, and comes with vs.net 2005.

Create a virtual directory ASP.NETWebAdminFiles in IIS that point to C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\ASP.NETWebAdminFiles

Open properties windows of the new virtual directory, make sure that it is configured to run with ASP.NET 2.0, and in Security tab, uncheck Anonymous Access, check Integrated Windows Authentication.

After that, you will be able to connect to WebAdminTools using the following syntax
http://localhost/ASP.NETWebAdminFiles/default.aspx?applicationPhysicalPath=XXX&applicationUrl=/YYY
in my case, it is:
http://localhost/ASP.NETWebAdminFiles/default.aspx?applicationPhysicalPath=D:\Tasks\Libranyon\Photonyon\&applicationUrl=/Photonyon

Although I don't recommend to do it, if you want to access WebAdminTool from other computer, open WebAdminPage.cs from (C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\ASP.NETWebAdminFiles\App_Code) and comment the following code block
            if (!application.Context.Request.IsLocal) {
                SecurityException securityException = new SecurityException((string)HttpContext.GetGlobalResourceObject("GlobalResources", "WebAdmin_ConfigurationIsLocalOnly"));
                WebAdminPage.SetCurrentException(application.Context, securityException);
                application.Server.Transfer("~/error.aspx");
            }

WebAdminTool still be protected by Intergrated Windows Authentication, so you still some have some defense here.
