Error trying to access into a folder on IIS:
the first users has access to everything, while the other cant.
<authentication mode="Windows">
</authentication>
<authorization>
<allow users="Domain\AnotherDomain"/>
<deny users="*"/>
</authorization>
<identity impersonate="true" />
This is the code im using to grant access to the users, because the IIS doesnt recognize the Active Directory "roles":
<location path="~/UsuarioTI">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users ="Domain\MyDomain" />
<deny users="*"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
this is the error when im trying to enter into the website,
401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials.
Is there anything else that i need to install, besides enable windows authentication and disable the rest of them?
PD: whenever i try to access into the path im allowed to, it's asking for the user with 'AnotherDomain',because the other has no access.
PD2: How to recognize roles on IIS or throught localhost?
In IIS check the Pool Application Name you used for your website and then
add on the folder permissions as follow : IIS AppPool\poolName
poolName => is the name of you Pool Application !
That the virtual user created, you won't find it in the search, just add it as I mentioned above.

In Asp.net Application for windows authentication
In aspx page
asp:Label runat="server" ID="windows"
aspx.cs page
windows.Text = User.Identity.Name;
webconfig:
authentication mode="Windows"
but authentication is not performed what problem ??
Add the following in your web.config under system.web to make sure that the windows authorization is triggered:
<authorization>
<allow users="?" />
</authorization>
Your web.config wants to contain like this:
<configuration>
<system.web>
<authentication mode="Windows" />
<anonymousIdentification enabled="false" />
<authorization>
<deny users="?" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
</configuration>
This will force all users to use their windows/Active Directory login. A 401 Access Denied error will be given to those who don't log in.
Because Integrated Windows Authentication uses the current Windows
user information on the client computer for the authentication, it
does not immediately prompt the user for a user name and password.
However, if the authentication exchange cannot identify the user, a
dialog box appears that prompts the user for a Windows user account
user name and password
Source: How to implement Windows authentication and authorization in ASP.NET
Try adding the following block to see if it's working
<authorization>
<deny users="*" />
</authorization>
After adding this, run the application and you should get HTTP 401 - Access is denied error.
You can customize authorization from then on.
UPDATE:
Here's a different approach and how to configure it via IIS management console:
Deploy your site to IIS
Click on your site and select Authentication
Disable Anonymous Authentication and enable Windows Authentication as shown in the image below
Go back to features and select .NET Authorization Rules. Here you can add allow/deny rules on a role or user basis.
To test your current code deny anonymous users and allow all. When you connect to your application you should be able to use the Windows user you used to log in.
I am using Roll management and I am trying to give page and folder access according to user or user group, Also using server created AD group for user authentication.
I have default1.aspx page as default and subdir1 folder to give different access for separate user group
I am using below logic in web.config.
<location path="subdir1">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users ="?" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
I am facing problem to provide same access to 2 or more directory to same user so should I have to provide allow user code twice for both folder?
I can use this logic by repeating value for all folder but I want to do all access providing in one logic.
I have got the answer to configure folder/page access, For that i have to make different access as shown below..
Configure Access to a Specific File and Folder, Set up forms-based authentication.
Request any page in application to be redirected to Logon.aspx automatically.
In the Web.config file, done the following code.
This code grants all users access to the Default1.aspx page and the Subdir1 folder.
<configuration>
<system.web>
<authentication mode="Forms" >
<forms loginUrl="login.aspx" name=".ASPNETAUTH" protection="None" path="/" timeout="20" >
</forms>
</authentication>
<!-- This section denies access to all files in this application except for those that you have not explicitly specified by using another setting. -->
<authorization>
<deny users="?" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
<!-- This section gives the unauthenticated user access to the Default1.aspx page only. It is located in the same folder as this configuration file. -->
<location path="default1.aspx">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users ="*" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
<!-- This section gives the unauthenticated user access to all of the files that are stored in the Subdir1 folder. -->
<location path="subdir1">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users ="*" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
</configuration>
Users can open the Default1.aspx file or any other file saved in the Subdir1 folder in your application. They will not be redirected automatically to the Logon.aspx file for authentication.
Repeat configuration Step to identify any other pages or folders for which you want to permit access by unauthenticated users.

Actually, the asp.net user access management spans widely so I've decided to introduce you two links which help me a lot. Hope this could help you as well.
Understanding Role Management
Walk through role management
I have developed an application to allow windows authentication and hosted it to the live server. in my local pc i am able to get the username password. but when i am accessing from web (e.g. websso.mydomain.com) it keeps asking credentials even after i entered correct credentials.
<authentication mode="Windows">
</authentication>
<authorization>
<deny users="?" />
</authorization>
<identity impersonate="true"/>
i have added above tags in web.config, hosting server is windows server 2008 R2. I have tried to get username from
WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name
Environment.Username
Request.ServerVariables["LOGON_USER"]
Request.ServerVariables["AUTH_USER"]
HttpContext.Current.Request.LogonUserIdentity.Name
Is there any changes which needs to do in IIS or any steps to follow to configure windows authentication.
Installed IIS version is 7.5
I had a similar issue recently, try ensuring that the windows user has read access to the directory on the server.
Checkk application pool owner in IIS
It should be network services
websso.mydomain.com looks like internet domain name, not intranet domain name because it has sections. According to https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/258063/internet-explorer-may-prompt-you-for-a-password you should use domain name without sections (e.g. http://websso/) or add your domain name to security settings of client browsers
Try updating your <authorization> to include an <allow> element as I have done here.
E.g.
<system.web>
<authentication mode="Windows" />
<authorization>
<allow users="yourdomain\someotheruser" />
<deny users="?" />
</authorization>
is it possible to members accessing to one folder via http://user#pass:domain.com/folder/ and special role ?
i used :
<system.web>
<authorization>
<deny users="?"/>
<allow roles="Admin"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
it redirect to login page , but i want if they want to download file in destination folder via software can download through entering user and pass directly not through web form
This only works with Basic Authentication. If you are using Forms Authentication then authenticated users are tracked with cookies and you cannot use such url.
Environment: ASP.NET 3.5, C#, Forms Authentication, IIS 6
Problem details: I have a web.config file set up with forms authentication and the following are the location element, as appearing:
<location path="Home/Common">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="*" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
<location path="Business/Services">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="*" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
The Home/Common folder contains my ForgotPassword.aspx.
The Login.aspx page is set as the LoginUrl
When the Login page is visited the first time (with no prior cookies etc.) the ForgotPassword link functions fine. It redirects to the page as desired.
However, once a user has logged in, upon Sign Out, the ForgotPassword link doesnot redirect. Rather, forms authentication precedes and redirects to the login url with the ReturnURL querystring pointing to Forgot Password page.
The question simply is: If prior to signing in the element is considered and rightly excluded from forms authentication, why post Signing in and Sign out it gets in the purview of Forms authentication.
It is to be noted that on clearing Browser history, the functionality works as expected.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
It is more common to use the question mark (?) to allow/deny unauthenticated users. Unauthenticated users are the ones that really need to use the login page and password reset functionality, so allowing all users (*) to access them is an incorrect configuration. However, you have not posted your entire Web.config. There will be a root configuration for authorization that deals with "everything else."
How I would likely configure this is within the root <system.web>, I'd have:
<authorization>
<allow users="*" />
</authorization>
And later in the Web.config, define locations that are secured:
<location path="Business/Services">
<deny users="?" />
</location>
Which denies all unauthenticated users to pages within that folder. Your login and forgot password pages would be in the root folder. Regardless, either I'm missing something or you do not have the root authentication configured which might be confusing ASP.NET's authentication.
