ASP.NET Role Manager Provider

[Sartuche24]

I wrote a small ASP page for my company for making employee request. I have a custom login page using the asp login control. The website works fine and authenticates users with no problem when I'm using it in development but when I place the website in IIS it denies everyone once they are logged in. I'm using the AzMan Role Provider and have it stored locally on the machine. Why does it work in development but not in IIS, I have the security set to low, allow scripts and executables, I chaned the Directory security with anonymous login using a Domain Admin account just see if that was the problem and it still doesn't work. Can someone please help.

Definitely sounds like a permissions issue - so i think you're on the right track. Are you using asp.NET ? If so, try checking the user authentication in your web.config.

Also, what error does it give you?

It's definitely a permissions issue and yes I'm using ASP.NET. If I set in the web.config file to impersonate and also assign it a username and password that is part of the Roles, it allows people to login but it also gives them full access to the site since the user that it is impersonating has full rights. Also I'm using Forms Authentication against Active Directory. This is the error I get when I take impersonation off Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED )) which I know is due to the fact that access to the website is denied but it gives it to everybody even the people that are supposed to have access. I know if you have impersonate on it will impersonate the anonymous user account which is not what I want. Is there a way to have ASP pull the username and password and then impersonate that user, if that makes any sense. I followed everything on setting up ASP to authenticate against Active Directory and using AzMan roles, works great in development but not in production. Wish there was a way to see what credentials it's using to validate against the roles. I appreciate any help. Thank you.

This forum is for classic asp so you'll find it difficult to get the help you need. I'm no expert in .net but I did some searching around regardless...

I found one resource that may help you

In the meantime, I'll contact a mod to have this thread moved to the .net forum where the resident experts there will be able to help you much more than we can.

Good luck!

Okay I've been working on this issue some more. I moved the website to our web server that would be running the website. I can login with a user thats part of the domain admins group, and it authorizes the person with no problems, but if I use another user that should have the same access rights as the Domain Admins which is part of the Managers group in the AzMan xml file, it will fail with the same error above. Is there anyway to see what file it's trying to access that it's being denied access too. I look in the event log and it shows that it AUthenicated the user but when it tries to redirect to the default url after authentication it fails. I get an event code of 4011 which I've researched and can't find anything really specific to my problem. I also tried the DCOM fix as described earlier but it didn't change anything. I've posted the Exception that it throws below. Can someone please help. Thank you.


Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED ))
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.Unauthor izedAccessExcep tion: Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED ))

ASP.NET is not authorized to access the requested resource. Consider granting access rights to the resource to the ASP.NET request identity. ASP.NET has a base process identity (typically {MACHINE}\ASPNE T on IIS 5 or Network Service on IIS 6) that is used if the application is not impersonating. If the application is impersonating via <identity impersonate="tr ue"/>, the identity will be the anonymous user (typically IUSR_MACHINENAM E) or the authenticated request user.

To grant ASP.NET access to a file, right-click the file in Explorer, choose "Properties " and select the Security tab. Click "Add" to add the appropriate user or group. Highlight the ASP.NET account, and check the boxes for the desired access.

Sartuche,

I'm having this same problem. Were you able to find a solution?

Thanks,

Unfortunately I never found an answer to this, I asked around on several other forums to no avail. I developed a way of querying AD Groups and then using the ASPNET DB for roles, if a user is in a Specific groups they will be associated with certain roles that I have set aside and so far it's been working like a charm.
