Authentication of an ASP.NET Web application

Form authentication is the most commonly used authentication methods of all in ASP.NET programming. Depending on the Client requirement, as a programmer one might want to consider using the SSL throughout the site or at least on the login page. But overall, this approach is not so secure as it sends the User’s credentials to the server in clear context.

Lack of password policy, passing incorrect internal messages to the browser, using cookies and other insecure means to store the Users’ credentials, etc. are the possible deficiencies with decision of authentication policy in ASP.NET programming.

A web application’s authentication in ASP.NET can be further enhanced with the following:
> Password policy… enforcement of a password policy including strong passwords, password expiration, and possibly locking User accounts after some unsuccessful login attempts.
> Hashing of password… if you manage your authentication store, make sure to hash your all the passwords for the system
> Brute Force Attacks… introduction of a random delay of a few seconds on every login attempt will make the brute force attacks impractical to execute

Why Help Desk Management System?

Technically, a help desk system software is defined as an automated and structured path for all the Users of an organization to solve out their daily queries and concerns related to hardware, resources management, HR department, attendance, etc. It lets every User create tickets online, auto generated email notifications of tickets posted and resolved, allows Users to post and review ticket status, rectifies tickets, etc.

This article talks specifically about the need of having installed a standard help desk management system with their networks. Here are some of the logical reasons like why any Company or organization should opt for a help desk management system software:
> It supports the concerned departments by generating scrutinized reports, in process of making statistics-based decisions
> Inclusiveness of managing multiple incidents and workflow automations
> Supports organization to restore normal service of operation quickly
> Configuration of workflow as per the manual process
> Employees can use their unique login credentials and then access the system
> It provides structured and prompt handing of all changes in the IT infrastructure
> Easier generation of statistics with interactive dashboards and reporting modules
> Avoidance of any possible ambiguities as everything is online

At SPEC INDIA, we have a vast experience of development as well as installation of help desk management systems at our Clients premises. If you have any requirement pertaining to this, feel free to send the same to us at our email id lead@spec-india.com, and our Executive of the concerned department will surely get back to you within 24-48 hours.

Key Components of Web Services in ASP.NET Programming

We have already published one blog post article with an introduction of web services, somewhere around the last month for ASP.NET programming. Basically, they are the software system designed to support interoperable machine-to-machine interactions over an established network.

A web service in ASP.NET development is built with the following components – XML, SOAP, WSDL and UDDI. Their roles can be defined as:
> UDDI… Universal Description, Design, and Integration – provides a directory of services on the internet
> WSDL… Web Services Descriptional Language – here, the web services for a program are defined in terms of formats and message ordering
> SOAP… through this, the web services consumers can send/receive messages using XML
> XML & HTTP… they are built using the available open internet protocols

Procedural programming in ASP.NET

Procedures – in ASP.NET programming terms are referred to as the collection of routines, subroutines, methods, or functions that contain a series of the computations steps or the logic of a program. Any given procedure might be called at any point during a program’s execution, including by other procedures or itself. It is also known as imperative programming; whereby the ASP.NET programmer specifies the steps that the program must take to reach the desired state.

The in-general advantages of the procedural programming are:
> The ability of the code to be strongly modular or structured
> Re-use of the same code at different places
> It is an easier way to keep track of program flow as compared to a collection of simple statements

Concluding, the procedural programming in ASP.NET programming is often a better choice than simple sequential or unstructured programming in many situations which demand some lesser level of complexity or which require rampant maintenance.

At SPEC INDIA, our trained team of ASP.NET developers is eager to take care of any custom requirement from our probable Clients and prospects from all over the globe. If you have any requirement or queries, feel free to drop an email at our id lead@spec-india.com, we will be happy to assist you.

Code Access Security in ASP.NET

The ASP.NET security model provides code access permissions and code identity permissions. The code access security is the part of the ASP.NET security model that determines whether or not the code is allowed to run, and what resources it can use when it is running.

The CLR implements the Code Access Security based on the ‘evidence’ gathered about assemblies. Evidence includes such things as:
> Strong Name
> Publisher
> From where the assembly is being loaded
> The URL of the source directory, if in case the assembly was downloaded from the web

The administrator of the configure CAS policy in ASP.NET programming to restrict the resource types that the code can access and the other privileged operations it can perform. The Code Access Security allows the code to be trusted to varying degrees depending on where the code originates and on the other aspects of the identity of the code. The Code Access Security can also help minimize the damage that might result from the security issues or loopholes in the code.

Data Validation guidelines for ASP.NET applications

Data validation in ASP.NET programming is all about avoiding data cleanup tasks on the backend by avoiding bad data coming in. The ASP.NET validation controls and third party validation controls help you receive the right data in the right format. ASP.NET provides some nice controls to perform validation.

A controlled and centralized web framework can offer many advantages related to security to the web applications. In ASP.NET application development, it needs to be backed up with the page-specific security measures to ensure proper data validation. Here are some guidelines on employing proper data validation:
> Avoid the database write actions against the URL parameters
> Ensure that every POST action is actually done from an internal application page
> All the possible exceptions should send only user-friendly messages to the browser
> Any webpage displaying data on the browser that cannot be guaranteed to be safe should be encoded using the server.htmlencode. This will certainly prevent any malicious cross-site scripting attacks
> All the web pages should enforce strict data validation on any piece of data
> Consider the regular expressions as a great way to constrain input in ASP.NET

Thus, these were the basic guidelines to for effective implementation of data validation for ASP.NET programmers.

Introduction to Web Services in ASP.NET

From the books of programming, a web service is a service provided and invoked with the support of internet by using different web protocols, and with a standard interface description. It can also be explained as programmable application logic. They are very simple and easy to understand concepts in the context of ASP.NET programming. As such the usage of the web services are irrespective of the programming technology platforms… they can be used as a programmed logic in any platform, object model, or programming language used to implement that service.

An ASP.NET web service is a software system designed to support all the machine-to-machine interaction over a network. They have an interface described in a machine-process able format. The other systems interact with the web services in a fashion prescribed by its description using the SOAP messages, typically conveyed using the HTTP with an XML serialization in coordination with the other web-related standards.
