Do you guys have any idea if there is anyway to test a connection string(if it is working or not) for a deployed .NET MVC app on a server machine without having VisualStudio and the code for the project?
Use rest api tester
Example: For Google Chrome:postman rest client

I'm working on an ASP.NET MVC Web App with Office 365 authentication. The web app runs perfectly on my computer, but when I transfer and run the project on other computers and on Azure, it gave me a Cryptographic Operation Error. After some research, I concluded that the Machine Keys are the ones causing the problem.
I have found the MachineKey for the Azure Web App Service, but when I put it in my local Web.Config, it still looks for my computer's original Machine Key. The same happens when I set it to auto-generate, both my computer and Azure throw the same error.
I need a way to reset the Machine Key my application is looking for. For example, if I set the Machine Key in Web.config to "KEY_EXAMPLE_HERE", my application will start to use that key. That way, I can set up the same Machine Key in all servers I need to run my application.
I don't know if the application looks for the key it generated when I created the Visual Studio project, but I need a way to change it.
Any help will be appreciated, thanks!
im getting Server Error in '/' Application.
after publishing my MVC web app http://crave2.azurewebsites.net/ which is connected to SQL SERVER 2008 R2 at some server? tried adding or removing the suggested code but still doesnt give me any helpful errors, what is usually wrong with this one?
I wanted to implement a small Proof of Concept for ADFS integration with MVC application. For this I created a virtual machine for Windows 2008 R2 and configured ADDS, ADCS and added my updated my server domain to one created one using ADDS.
After this I created certificate using ADCS.
Now, installed ADFS 2.0 using Microsoft download of ADFSSetup.exe RTW.
With help of some I configured ADFS & added relying party trust from my MVC application SSL URI.
After this I tried to run the application however started facing 403.14 error page.
Following observations as outcome from entire configuration:
I tried to access "<>/federationmetadata/2007-06/federationmetadata.xml" and I
got a proper XML which is as per expected.
I saw couple of entries from server computer - IIS website as like "http://<>/adfs/services/trust" OR "https://<>/adfs/ls/" however couldn't get any response from server. even I tried to access same from server using localhost instead of server names, then also no luck.
Then to cross-verify I checked IIS's default website where I found adfs/ls however it was a like a website. Not sure correct or not. I couldn't find anything 'services/trust' under ADFS IIS application.
After that I installed ADFS from Server manager and saw one more virtual directory 'fs',added under adfs application. when I tried to access 'fs' using https I am able to access it easily and can see SOAP service and page displayed with available web method.
I tried to find more on 'adfs/ls' and 'adfs/services/trust' however couldn't get much more information.
Please, if anyone came across this issue. Do let me know.
This is not an issue, this is how ADFS works. Next step you have to configure claims providers and relying parties from ADFS management console (from Admin tools). Relying party could be a sample claims aware MVC application. It should work
The only URL's that ADFS "answers" to are the federation metadata endpoint and the IDPInitiated one.
adfs/ls expects either WS-Federation or SAML parameters after it. On its own it will throw an error.
Then follow How To: Build Claims-Aware ASP.NET MVC Web Application Using WIF.
Why are you using Windows 2008 R2? (ADFS 2.0)? You should rather use Windows 2012 R2 (ADFS 3.0).
I have created one application using MVC5 to connect to Notes database using COM interop domino dll. It works fine on my local but doesn't works through IIS of my computer. It gives login view but failed to connect to database and gives an
An error occurred while processing your request.
So I think there is a database connectivity problem with notes database. Is there any difference between accessing database using local and IIS? I haven't changed anything for IIS, just configure it to run the mvc application.
I am using 64bit OS.
Any idea why I can't connect to notes database using IIS?
I have an Azure Cloud Service Virtual Machine with 2 server:
Java project using Jetty server at http://localhost:8999
ASP.NET MVC project using IIS Express at http://localhost
I am using Http request to make connection between 2 server.
In my VM, inside ASP.NET MVC project, I use http://localhost:8999 to get data from Jetty server. It works perfectly with short response time (from 100ms to 6000ms).
However, when I access the IIS Express via Internet using http://mydomain.cloudapp.net. It does not work anymore.
Then I change my config file in ASP.NET MVC project to use http://mydomain.cloudapp.net:8999. It works but with long response time (from 15s to 40s). This is because of my slow internet connection.
My question is:
If I access IIS Express via Internet, to avoid external internet connection, is there any solution which let IIS Express know that it's target is local?
Which means I can still use http://localhost:8999 in my config file in ASP.NET MVC project, and it still work if I access IIS Express via Internet not only via localhost.
The main question is how you connect between the two servers? From the client side (JavaScript) or the ServerSide (Controller action/private method).
From what you describe it seems that you make XMLHttpRequest (JavaScript, AJAX, jQuery, etc.) call from your client side directly to your Jetty Server. In order to avoid roundtrips, you have to change this and make XMLHttpRequest to Your Server (MVC), then on the MVC backend (Controller action, or private method, or Repository) make the Jetty server call and transparently return the answer to the calling client.
You can also try tweaking your Jetty Server settings to allow for longer script execution.
