Configuration settings in app/web.config or db

Besides a connection string to the db I use I have several other configuration settings (user names/passwords, URIs to third-party services, etc.).
What is the recommended approach to handle such situations:
- put all config settings in an web/app.config file (encrypted external config files called from the web/app.config)?
- put only a connection string (encrypted) in the web/app.config file and the other settings in a db table (e.g. Settings)?
Thanks.

Unfortunatley this is a, 'it depends' question. If your business requirements are such that you need to easily change a configuration via standard tools, e.g. you're hosting an Azure web site, then config file is a great choice. If you have an architecture
where the settings differ depending upon a user login then a database might be a good solution. If your architecture uses security zones then the less you put in a less secure zone the better. Sorry, but, "it depends" is the best I can offer.

How to combine web.config section encryption and the usage of WebConfigModification

Hi,
I have a question about encrypting web.config section that are shared across solutions which might use WebConfigModifications to change the SharePoint web.config.
Currently, I've embedded custom assemblies in my SharePoint solution. These assemblies read configuration items from the web.config so we need elements in the SharePoint web.config. We added those using the WebConfigModification class. No problem
so far.
Additionally, we want to encrypt specific sections, because they contain sensitive information. I tested this and encrypted the specific section. SharePoint still worked and my solution still worked. Still no problem so far.
However, when I deactivate features that need to remove entries from that specific encrypted configuration section, the entries are not removed. Also, when I activate features that need to add entries to that specific encrypted configuration section, the
entries are added within the section, but besides the encrypted content in that section. In the last case, SharePoint crashes complaining about invalid configuration. Makes sense, since entries exist twice (once encrypted, once unencrypted).
Now we can tackle this issue when it's about sections are specifically created for our application/assemblies, but what if this is about section that are also used by other assemblies/solutions, say "connectionStrings" or "appSettings".
Other SharePoint solutions might want to make changes to these sections as well using the WebConfigModification class. Those assemblies might not be able to deal with encrypted sections.
Is there a way to deal with this issue, to be able to encrypt these 'shared' sections without other solutions generating a bunch of errors and crashing?
Thanks in advance for any replies!
Cheers,
Ruud Hunnekens.

Hi Ruud Hunnekens,
From your description have you tried to first decrypt the section of the web.config file before removing the section nodes. In the feature activated event, add the section nodes and encrypt the section, then in the feature deactivated event, decrypted the
section, then delete the nodes, check whether this works.
Thanks,

Iplanet 6.0 web-apps.xml config issue..!

Hi,
I would like to know the reason for marking webapps_enable="off" or "on" in server.xml.
The issue I'm facing is when I say :
<VARS docroot="/usr/sample-app/web" webapps_file="web-apps.xml" webapps_enable="on"/>
and my web-apps.xml file looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE vs PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.; iPlanet//DTD Virtual Server Web Applications 6.0//EN"
"http://developer.iplanet.com/webserver/dtds/iws-webapps_6_0.dtd">

</session-manager>
<parameter-encoding enc="UTF8"/>
</vs>
If I make webapps_enable="on" and add a new URI as :
<web-app uri="/sampleapp" dir="/usr/sample-app/sampleapp" enable="true"/>
I'm getting the following error message when I start my web server;
vs(https-somapp.xyz.COM)SAX parser error: The content of element type "vs" must match "(auth-native?,class-loader?,jsp-servlet?,parameter-encoding?,response-buffer?,response-cookie?,config-param*,role-mapping?,session-manager?,session-tracking?,session-cookie?,tempdir?,form-login-session?,web-app*)". in file:web-apps.xml at line number 22.
Kindly assist me as I'm a newbie to Iplanet configurations.
Thanks in advance
SS

Hi,
In server.xml, the VS tag needs to also include the id of the virtual server, i.e.
<vs> is wrong, it should be something like:
<VS id="server.iplanet.com" connections="group1" mime="mime1"
aclids="acl1">
Please see the following doc for more detail on the VS element:
http://www.scientificamerican.com/manual/nsapi/08_vserv.htm
By the way, this is the wrong forum to post questions on webserver to, you should use the following forum in future:

Maximum size video upload settings in web config file

Hi, i am providing video support in my application, whereas i need to provide support to upload video without any size limit, say for example atleast 1GB video should be uploaded and played via html5 and iframe tag. I have made some changes in web config

Need help with 6300 configuration settings

I can't get sms, email or web to work on my lovely new 6300 phone (an xmas present from my daughter) :-(
I travel between England and France and have an Orange sim card for England and an SFR card and contract in France (Orange doesnt work in the mountains).
I managed to text when in England with the orange card. On arriving in France I found the phone was locked to Orange (first headache, given that I live in the country, over 50 miles from any Nokia dealer). I got the phone unlocked, but SMS etc were still not working and local mobile outlets hadnt a clue. So I'm on my own.
Rummaging around this site I realised I probably needed to additional settings, and downloaded these.
Now for the real nightmare: how the hell to set these configuration settings. I seem to be going round in circles. Is there anybody out there who could help me make some sense of the following settings???!!!
Although helpful, this site is not good at explaining the significance of the following (and whats more I feel they should probably be listed in the reverse order?)
- default config setting
- preferred access point
- personal config setting
DEFAULT CONFIG SETTING
I have a choice of
- orange (inherited with branded phone and presumably needed when back in the UK?)
- personal config
- SFR MMS (downloaded by me from Nokia)
- Wanadoo (downloaded by me from Nokia)
Ive chosen personal config (see below)
ACTIVATE DEFAULT IN ALL APPS
I have said no ??
PREFERRED ACCESS POINT
Ive created one called 'Fra access point' (see next) so as to have alternative to all the orange ones,
PERSONAL CONFIG SETTING
I've made three: FRA access point, FRA mailbox and Fra web
The access point has data bearer as Packet data (dont ask me what this means!) and I made up my own user name and password
Well, there you are. I would at least like to have the sms working (I suspect the email may be another hurdle as my pop and sms servers are different).
I do hope someone can help me

I was disappointed by the deafening silence which followed my cry for help - perhaps a bit too meaty for a Friday afternoon?
Anyhow, amazingly, after a loooong and expensive phone call to SFR (Vodaphone) the problem has been resolved (sort of).
I had been fiddling around with the configurations under Settings. It turned out there are MORE settings under Message settings and these included the need to specify a number for the Message Centre. (Nowhere on the SFR site is this number given, plus their link for downloading configurations is not working...)
Be warned, I might be back in a week or two when I have more energy to tackle email.

BO XI 3.1 OpenDocument direct SSO with secWinAD in web.config

Hi, fellows,
The need has emerged to provide users with direct links to InfoView documents using the OpenDocument URL syntax and perform primary authentication of request automatically without showing the InfoView welcome screen. We have BO XI 3.1 ASP.NET application installed on Windows 2008 Server's IIS 7 with Kerberos already configured.
Usually, the OpenDocument links work nicely but only after the user has visited the /InfoViewApp page. The OpenDocument virtual directory by default has only the anonymous authentication enabled.
I've skimmed and searched for the keywords included in the topic subject in Google, help.sap.com and specifically in the BO Enterprise Admin Guide and the paper by Miles Escow on configuring XI 3.1 InfoView with Active Directory using Kerberos.
Unfortunately, the sources I've already encountered do not provide sufficient details on configuring the OpenDocument section of the Web application.
To solve the problem I disabled anonymous access to OpenDocument directory and enabled ASP.NET impersonation and Windows authentication (this would force IIS to attempt authenticating the user originating the request before serving the page) and mirrored the authentication.default and cookie-related settings ("opendoc.authentication.default" value="secWinAD") to the OpenDocument/web.config from InfoViewApp/web.config and turned the "opendoc.sso.enabled" to "true" (this is crucial, otherwise you will still receive the logon screen for primary authentication in BO although already authenticated by IIS).
Hope this helps others.

WRE54G Web Config Page Setup - also Belkin Router F5D6321

To: Users of this Linksys Community Forum
What: I'm reposting my "reply post" text from a previous post (see below). The first time I posted it, I forgot to use "html carriage returns", so the text was hard to read. The proper carriage-returns should show in the text below.

Original Post Message Subject Header: Hi, I have a Belkin Router F5D6231-4 2.4GHz, 802.11G Wire...
The original text (with carriage returns) is shown below --->:
Before you access the Range Expander's web page, you need to gather some information (that you'll need once you do access the WRE54G web page).
You need:
1) The "IP Address" (of your Router/Wireless Access Point as seen by your local network). This will be something like "192.168.1.254" (depending on your local network's range of IP addresses).
2) The "Sub-net Mask" (for your Router/Wireless Access Point as seen by your local network). Usually, this will be "255.255.255.0" (or "255.255.255.255").
3) The (Default) "Gateway" Address (for your Router/Wireless Access Point as seen by you local network). This will usually be the "first" IP address in your network's range of IP addresses. For our example network above having a range of IP addresses of 192.168.1.1 through 192.168.1.255, the first IP address is "192.168.1.1" and so the "Gateway" Address will probably be "192.168.1.1".
4) The "SSID" (Site Survey ID) of your network. This is the network name of your local network (i.e. the one you originally logged onto the network if you've already connected your computer wirelessly up with the router/wireless Access Point).
5) The "Channel" your Wireless Access Point is using (from "1" through "11". A typical "Channel" used is "6".
6) Wireless Network Encryption - you need to know if you are using encryption on your wireless network. You'll most likely either not be using it or your will be using either 40-bit (really 64-bit) WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption, 128-bit WEP encryption, or the newer standard WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key) security settings. When you get to the WRE54G web-based configuration page, you will need to "enable" Security Settings (if yoiur using it) and then, in the next web config page that appears, enter WEP encryption key or enter the WPA-PSK pre-shared key used that is currently used for your local wireless network.
NOTE: In the WRE54G web configuration page, if you are using encryption, BEFORE you enter the info (into the web-page configuration fields) noted in Item 1 through 5 above, you will want to click the "enable" button for "Wirelss Security", then click on the "Edit Security Settings" button, enter your encryption key on the next web page that appears, and then click on the "Save" button at the bottom of the web-page. The WRE54G will save your security setting to its Flash memory and then re-boot itself. You may want to unplug/replug the AC power to the WRE54G at this time and then re-log in to the WRE54G at its IP address of 192.168.1.240 (which I will explain how to do below).
Before accessing the WRE54G web-based configuration page by pointing your web browser to "192.168.1.240", do the following:
A. Connect the Ethernet cable that came with the WRE54G Ver.3 to the WRE54G (lift the small lid on the top of the WRE54G and plug the Ethernet CAT-5 cable into the RJ-45 jack there). Then plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into your computers RJ-45 jack (I assume your computer has one, right?).
B. Change your computer's IP Address to use a "Manual" IP address rather than "DHCP". Then enter the following "static" IP address: "192.168.1.50". This is an good example address, but other addresses in the range of "192.161.1.XXX" where X is 1 to 255 will work (except I would not use 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.240, or 192.168.1.255).
C. Plug the WRE54G into the AC power. (check the lights on the WRE54G to make sure they are correct - the WRE54G startup documentation talks about this or I can give details later).
D. Boot up your computer (make sure the network setting still show "manual" IP address and a static IP address of "192.168.1.50".
E. Bring up your web browser and enter into the address field the WRE54G's IP address of "192.168.1.240".
F. In less than a minute, the web-based configuration page should appear. Proceed cautiously to enter the configuration values as I've noted above in Steps 1 - 6. After clicking on the "Save" button at the bottom of the WRE54G's web pages, the WRE54G will always do a "reboot". I suggest unplugging and replugging the WRE54G into the AC after each reboot (just to make sure a cold reboot actually happens).
NOTE: I would also suggest that you enter the "IP Address" of the Wireless Access Point (see Step 1 above) LAST after entering and saving all the other WRE54G configuration values. That way, you will still be able to log onto the WRE54G at the default IP Address of "192.168.1.240" and make sure all the values are saved correctly (in case you make a mistake and enter the wrong IP Address for the Wireless Access Point). Note that each time you reboot the WRE54G and log into it with your web browser, you will want to "Refresh" the web-page screen when you go to "192.168.1.240" so you can see the updated page contents. If you screw up the configuration, you can always use the "reset" button (you need to use a paper clip to push it) on the side of the WRE54G to reset the WRE54G back to its default values. Then you can start over from the beginning.
My experience has been that if you have correctly configured the WRE54G and it works on your wireless network, you will be able to unhook the "hard-wired" Ethernet cable (from between the WRE54G and your computer) and still be able to wirelessly access the WRE45G at its IP address of "192.168.1.240" using your web browser
If you want, you can change the WRE54G's Password (or Username and Password) to values only you know so no one will be able to get into your WRE54G and change your settings maliciously or inadvertantly. Let me know if the above helps you or just confuses you.

Hi AngryDrake,
Thanks for providing that information.
Are you working from Parallels, Fusion or from some sort a VPN environment?
If you are using the printer in a virtual environment, then please try accessing the printer's EWS in a regular environment just to see if you have the same results.
Use Safari when accessing the printer's EWS, other browsers sometimes won't allow it to open.
Since the printer is setup on the network and you are able to print, you just can't access the printer's EWS, I would update the firmware on the printer which should allow you then to access the printer's EWS through a regular environment. HP LaserJet Pro M1212nf Multifunction Printer Drivers.
Select your operating system, click next, click the link for firmware.
If you are still having issue, then make sure the printer is connected directly to the Router or Airport and not a switch.
Please let me know the results.
Thank You.

[svn] 3519: Fix typo in error string for situations where there are advanced messaging configuration settings from LCDS used in the configuration files but no AdvancedMessagingSupport service .

Revision: 3519
Author: [email protected]
Date: 2008-10-08 04:17:40 -0700 (Wed, 08 Oct 2008)
Log Message:
Fix typo in error string for situations where there are advanced messaging configuration settings from LCDS used in the configuration files but no AdvancedMessagingSupport service. The error string said that there was no flex.messaging.services.AdvancedMessagingService registered but it is the flex.messaging.services.AdvancedMessagingSupport service that needs to be registered.
Add configuration test that starts the server with a destination that has the reliable property set which is an advanced messaging feature but there is no AdvancedMessagingSupport service registered.

Hi,
Unfortunately I already tried all kinds of re-installs (the full list is in my original message). The only one remaining is the reinstall of Windows 8 itself, which I would really like to avoid.
What I find really strange is the time it takes for the above error message to appear. It's like one hour or even more (never measured exactly, I left the computer running).
What kind of a timeout is that? I would expect that, if ports are really used by some other application, I get the message in less than a minute (seconds, actually). To me this looks like the emulator itself for some reason believes there's a problem with
some port while in reality there isn't.
I'll eventually contact Microsoft Support, thanks for the suggestion.

Cannot find file drm-web.config after installation

Hi all,
I am trying to install drm version 11.1.2 on MS Server 2008 64bit. I tried installing the 64bit version of DRM. The installation succeeds but when the configurator is launched I get an error that it closed. I opened the web client and receive an asp.net error that the drm-web.config cannot be found. I went to the directory and it is not there. I read on another site that this happened. The guy reinstalled it and changed some settings in IIS. I tried a reinstall but it made no difference. I reviewed IIS but couldn't see anything to change, although the drm_pool was present. I uninstalled the 64bit version and installed the 32bit version. However, the same error occured. I looked at the support matrix and there is nothing to suggest drm isn't supported on MS Server 2008.
I would be grateful if someone could let me know of a fix.
Thanks,
Nathan

I think this is what you are looking for:

Preserving configuration settings in the configuration copy

Hello,
Does anybody know how to copy Project Configuration preserving all configuration settings for each mapping in the project?
I have about 30 mappings and each mapping has hints for parallel execution. I need to have a copy of the configuration with parallel hints to load a different schema. I have tried to use copy and paste the configuration, but the configuration copy has lost all parallel hints. It is not a show stopper, but I would like to avoid manual settings in the future as much as possible.
Thanks
Vlad

Unfortunatley this is a, 'it depends' question. If your business requirements are such that you need to easily change a configuration via standard tools, e.g. you're hosting an Azure web site, then config file is a great choice. If you have an architecture
where the settings differ depending upon a user login then a database might be a good solution. If your architecture uses security zones then the less you put in a less secure zone the better. Sorry, but, "it depends" is the best I can offer.

Adding custom404 to web.config

Hello, I've created a new project and added a Custom404Page tag. When I start the project and visit a page that doesn't exist, I'm not seeing my custom page. It's taking me to the default page. Below is what I added in my web.config file. I want to use this
technique for the 404 page, but it doesnt seem to work:
<appSettings>
<addkey="Custom404Page"value=http://mysite.com/Custom404Page.asp/>
</appSettings>

It appears that your question is more about web app configuration than about .NET Framework setup (this forum's topic), so I suggest you ask in the ASP.NET forums here:
