What authorisations have been setup in IIS for the webapplication?

SujataJK 23-Oct-18 4:26am

Forms Authentication

Forms Authentication is Enabled under authentication? Is that what you are telling me?

Can Fiddler give you more details about:
'You are not authorized to view this page due to invalid authentication headers.'

in iis ,inside authorization rules section i allow all user and entry type is local

Above error message also shows following details

Most likely causes:
1. No authentication protocol (including anonymous) is selected in IIS.
2 Only integrated authentication is enabled, and a client browser was used
that does not support integrated authentication.
3 .Integrated authentication is enabled and the request was sent through a proxy that changed the authentication headers before they reach the Web server.
4. The Web server is not configured for anonymous access and a required authorization header was not received.
5. The "configuration/system.webServer/authorization" configuration section may be explicitly denying the user access.

has your webapplication a global.asax file that handles unhandled exceptions?

SujataJK 23-Oct-18 6:29am

I did this in global.aspx

void Application_Error(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// Code that runs when an unhandled error occurs
MailMessage msg = new MailMessage();
HttpContext ctx = HttpContext.Current;

msg.To.Add(new MailAddress("sujata.shinde@jkumar.com"));
msg.From = new MailAddress("sujata.shinde@jkumar.com");
msg.Subject = "My app had an issue...";
msg.Priority = MailPriority.High;

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.Append(ctx.Request.Url.ToString() + System.Environment.NewLine);
sb.Append("Source:" + System.Environment.NewLine + ctx.Server.GetLastError().Source.ToString());
sb.Append("Message:" + System.Environment.NewLine + ctx.Server.GetLastError().Message.ToString());
sb.Append("Stack Trace:" + System.Environment.NewLine + ctx.Server.GetLastError().StackTrace.ToString());
msg.Body = sb.ToString();
Response.Write(sb.ToString());
// msg.Body = sb.ToString();

//CONFIGURE SMTP OBJECT
System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient smtCliend = new System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient();
smtCliend.Host = "smtp.logix.in"; //Or Your SMTP Server Address
smtCliend.Port = 587;
smtCliend.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
smtCliend.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("sujata.shinde@jkumar.com", "S@ujata321");

//SEND EMAIL
smtCliend.Send(msg);

}
