Full Trust European Hosting :: What is ASP.NET Full trust hosting?

clock July 28, 2011 06:01 by author Scott

Today we will talk more about - What is full trust hosting and what is modified full trust hosting? A lot of web developers building web applications turn to web hosting companies to host their website. Web hosting companies offer a variety of plans.

Two type of plans largely offered are -

1. Shared web hosting or Shared plans
2. Dedicated web hosting or Dedicated plans

Shared plans, are the most economical and practical for low-traffic websites, can have anywhere from 25 to 150 separated websites hosted from the same web server. When hosting multiple websites on the same server, it is important that one website cannot affect or harm another site. For example, both the web hosting company and its customers want to prevent one website from, say, reading the connect string information from Web.config of another website.

Microsoft’s ASP.NET web technology / language allows for web hosting companies to define trust levels, which dictate what operations are permitted by ASP.NET applications. A web hosting company can either use one of the preset trust levels - Full, High, Medium, Low, or Minimal - or can create a custom trust level.

Full trust is the default, allows ASP.NET applications to execute native code, to read from the Registry and Windows Event Log, and to read and write to files outside of the application’s virtual directory. In short, with full trust one web application could delete the entire contents of another web application.

Now most web hosting companies run in medium trust, which greatly reduces the potential for harm by limiting the set of operations an ASP.NET application can perform. But Medium trust will place a number of restrictions on an application, including limiting an application’s file access to within the virtual directory where the application lives. While the protection granted by medium trust is reassuring, its limited functionality can be a cause of worry for developers. There are a lot of web applications and components in the market which do require full trust to work as desired.

Now what will happen, in this scenario. In this case a lot of web hosts run the web applications as modified full trust, which is a modified version of full trust and web hosting companies block certain modules or permissions of full trust. e.g. you can change this full trust to be effective only for the needed functionality (or vice versa, disable it for the File IO). This can be done through the .NET Framework Configuration tools on the server (caspol.exe etc) but it will require some additional setup.

Also, there are ways of allowing applications run in full trust while still keeping them in a sandbox. Many respectable shared hosts do allow this as its required for applications like FlexWiki, but is something that must be requested.

And the good news for you is HostForLife.eu support FULL TRUST ASP.NET hosting. Our objective is to give the best support to our customers with an affordable and reliable price.

Full Trust European Hosting :: Why Full Trust hosting is not recommended when using a shared ASP.NET or shared Windows hosting plan?

clock May 9, 2010 08:17 by author Scott

This time, we’ll explore a bit about Full Trust. To find complete information, we recommend you to try HostForLife.eu. Only with € 3.00/month, you can get a reasonable price with best service.

The default trust level for ASP.NET web applications is Full, which grants unrestricted permissions. This is a dangerous trust level when working in a shared environment because it allows one web application to interact with the file system of other web applications on the same server.

For example, if you are in a shared environment that physically arranges its shared web applications in a common folder (i.e., C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\WebApp1, C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\WebApp2, …, C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\WebApp3, and so on), one web application could use the following code to display the Web.config contents of all of the other web applications on the server:

For Each folder As DirectoryInfo In parentPathInfo.GetDirectories()
Dim fileOfInterest As String = Path.Combine(folder.FullName, "Web.config")
If File.Exists(fileOfInterest) Then
Dim webConfigReader As StreamReader = File.OpenText(fileOfInterest)
Response.Write(String.Format("<p><b>Data for File {0}:</b></p><p>{1}</p><hr />", fileOfInterest, _                                                 Server.HtmlEncode(webConfigReader.ReadToEnd())))
webConfigReader.Close()
End If
Next

Since connection strings are usually placed in Web.config, the user running the above code would now be able to connect to other customers databases, where there might be sensitive customer information. The point is, if an ASP.NET application is running in full trust, there’s nothing to stop them from reading, creating, modifying, or deleting files in your web application’s file system.

Looking for good Full Trust Windows / ASP.NET Hosting Plans - Try HostForLife.eu.


Fortunately, most web hosting companies follow the advice in Microsoft’s ASP.NET 2.0 Hosting Deployment Guide and place their shared web applications in medium trust. This is accomplished by modifying the machine-level
Web.config file in the %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\{version}\CONFIG folder. Moreover, this setting can be locked by the web hosting company.

Here are the permissions granted by the medium trust level:

Medium
Permissions are limited to what the application can access within the directory structure of the application.
No file access is permitted outside of the application’s virtual directory hierarchy.
Can access SQL Server
Can send email by using SMTP servers
Limited rights to certain common environment variables
No reflection permissions whatsoever
No sockets permission
To access Web resources, you must explicitly add endpoint ‘URLs’ - either in the originUrl attribute of the element or inside the policy file.

The following exceptions have been granted in addition to the ones listed above:
ODBC
OLEDB
Reflection Permissions
Web Permission

The main differences between ASP.NET 1.1 and ASP.NET 2.0 for the trust levels are the following:
In version 2.0, SQL Server access is available at Medium trust level because the SQL Server .NET Data Provider no longer demands full trust. In version 2.0, SMTP Permission is available at Full, High and Medium trust levels. This allows applications to send email.

To protect shared environment, you can also set the CAS (code access security) Level to Custom (some hosting companies do provide these settings). The custom setting is basically medium level with some exceptions including ODBC, OLEDB, sockets, Reflection Permissions and Web Permissions. Hosting company can set these custom permissions and can add more privileges. This setting cannot be overridden though, which is good.

Full Trust European Hosting :: How to Grant Full Trust to Your ASP.NET web site on your VPS or Dedicated Server

clock May 1, 2010 06:35 by author Scott

In our last post, we discussed topics about Full Trust and Windows Azure. Now, we’ll discuss how to grant Full Trust to your ASP.NET website on your VPS/Dedicated Server. However, in this article, we describe only briefly about Full Trust European Hosting. If you want to be more familiar with Full Trust European Hosting, we recommend you to try HostForLife.eu Only with € 3.00/month, you can get a reasonable price with best service. C’mon, Try it!!

Here we go...

On your Virtual Private Server or Dedicated server browse to the configuration folder

Normally installation path will be - C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG

Open the web.config in notepad

Place following lines at the top of you config with the <configuration> directive replacing yourdomain.com with the name of the IIS web you wish to grant full trust to.

<location path=”yourdomain.com” allowOverride=”true”>
<system.web>
<trust level=”Full” originUrl=”" />
</system.web>
</location>

Now your web.config will look like -

<?xml version=”1.0 encoding=”utf-8?>
<!– the root web configuration file –>
<configuration>
<!–
Using a location directive with a missing path attribute
scopes the configuration to the entire machine.  If used in
conjunction with allowOverride=”false”, it can be used to
prevent configuration from being altered on the machine

Administrators that want to restrict permissions granted to
web applications should change the default Trust level and ensure
that overrides are not allowed
–>
<location allowOverride=”true”>
<system.web>
<securityPolicy>
<trustLevel path=”yourdomain.com” name=”Full” policyFile=”internal” />
</securityPolicy>
<trust level=”Full” originUrl=”" />
</system.web>
</location>
<system.net>
<defaultProxy>
<proxy usesystemdefault=”true” />

Full Trust European Hosting :: Running Full Trust Applications Under Windows Azure

What is Windows Azure?

Microsoft’s Azure Services Platform is a cloud platform (cloud computing platform as a service) offering that “provides a wide range of Internet services that can be consumed from both on-premises environments or the Internet (though the platform itself will not be made available for on-premises deployments.

What is Full Trust and why is it required?

Full trust (CAS - Code Access Security Level) allows ASP.NET applications to execute native code, to read from the Registry and Windows Event Log, and to read and write to files outside of the application’s virtual directory. In short, with full trust one web application could delete the entire contents of another web application.


Windows Azure and Full Trust

Windows Azure now offers the option of running the code in your Web and Worker roles under full trust. As a developer this opens up a lot of exciting and compelling options -

- Inter-process Communication via Named Pipes:
If you application spawns processes, you can communicate among them via named pipes.

- Invoking non-.NET Code:
Many developers have existing investments in native code or may choose to use native code for some specialized tasks. .NET full trust makes it possible to use native code via spawning processes or Platform Invoke (P/Invoke).

- Using .NET Libraries that Require Full Trust:
Certain .NET libraries, including libraries in the .NET Services SDK, require full trust and can now be used in Windows Azure.

To enable full trust, simply add the enableNativeCodeExecution attribute to your role in the Service Definition file and set the attribute value to true:

<?xml version=”1.0” encoding=”utf-8”?>

<ServiceDefinition name=”MyService” xmlns=http://schemas.microsoft.com/ServiceHosting/2008/10/ServiceDefinition>

 <WebRole name=”WebRole” enableNativeCodeExecution=”true”>

Full Trust European Hosting :: What is ASP.NET Full Trust Hosting and a Few Good Full Trust Hosting Plans

Also, there are ways of allowing applications run in full trust while still keeping them in a sandbox. Many respectable shared hosts do allow this as its required for applications like FlexWiki, but is something that must be requested.

Full Trust European Hosting :: Disadvantages of ASP.NET Full Trust Security Level

clock April 10, 2010 04:49 by author Scott

Why shouldn’t we allow any domain to run Asp.Net application under the Full Trust level? Below are the reasons:

If the Asp.Net application is allowed to run under Full Trust level then it can:

1. Browse(create/edit and delete too) files in the Windows directory using the System.IO namespace.

2. Browse(create/edit and delete too) folders in the Program Files directory using the System.IO namespace.

3. Browse(create/edit and delete too) files in the System32 directory using the System.IO namespace.

4. Output of the OS name and version number using the System.Environment class.

5. Output of the server’s local IP address using server variables, etc.

In short, full trust Asp.Net application can do anything with the server since it gains the full access of the server when run under the Full Trust.

Therefore, do not ever offer any domain a full trust level in the shared server if your are a shared hosting provider.
