How to remove Allow header from Http Response? - azure

I have API which is valid for POST/GET/PUT verb but if hacker intercepts the request and change method to 'OPTIONS' instead of 'GET', he will get below error in http response -
Allow: GET,POST,PUT
{
"Message": "The requested resource does not support http method 'OPTIONS'."
}
This allows hacker to identify what verbs supported by API. I have to restrict this header in response.
I tried removing 'WebDav' module but it still showing same message. I don't want hacker to see this message and Allow header.

According to your requirement, I assumed that you could specific the supported verbs in Web.config file as follows:
<system.webServer>
<security>
<requestFiltering>
<verbs allowUnlisted="false">
<add verb="GET" allowed="true" />
<add verb="POST" allowed="true" />
<add verb="PUT" allowed="true" />
</verbs>
</requestFiltering>
</security>
</system.webServer>
If the client trys to access your Api with other verbs, it would receive the 404 status code. Additionally, you'd better enable authentication in your Web API for better security consideration.

failed to fetch IIS webAPI

I have a webPI running in localhost fine but when I publish it in IIS this request fails: http://planificador.fyseg.com/#/proyectos/X0000088/empleado/112/plan/horas
This same request in localhost works fine: http://localhost:5000/#/proyectos/X0000088/empleado/112/plan/horas
The error is this:
'http://planificadorwebapi.fyseg.com/api/proyectos/X0000088/fechainicio/2018-05-22T22:00:00.000Z/fechafin/2020-01-30T23:00:00.000Z/horas' from origin 'http://planificador.fyseg.com' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. If an opaque response serves your needs, set the request's mode to 'no-cors' to fetch the resource with CORS disabled.
I have the webAPI configured like this
But at same time other requests to the same API from the same domain works, for exmaple
http://planificadorwebapi.fyseg.com/api/contratos/X0000088/mes/5/anio/2018/acumular/false
Any idea Please?
regards
According to your description, I suggest you could check the plan horas method to make sure there is no special cros setting for this method.
If not, I suggest you could try to add below setting in your IIS application's web.config file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<httpProtocol>
<customHeaders>
<add name="Access-Control-Allow-Origin" value="*" />
</customHeaders>
</httpProtocol>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>

Adding a JSON file for domain verification

I am trying to verify my domain through Azure using this Article. However, it keeps saying it cannot verify. I think maybe it's because I am assuming just putting it in my wwwroot is sufficient, but I don't know what else I need to do to have https://{YOUR-DOMAIN-HERE}.com/.well-known/microsoft-identity-association.json open the file itself for verification.
Verification of publisher domain failed. Unable to connect to https://mydomain/.well-known/microsoft-identity-association. [uFNK6]
Many people have faced this issue, you could have a look at this1 and this2 on Github. You may get one-time free support ticket for this issue via
You could send an email to AzCommunity[at]microsoft[dot]com with a
reference to this thread and also your Azure Subscription GUID.
As a workaround, you could add your custom domain to Azure AD. Then verify your custom domain name. After verifying your domain, you could directly select a verified domain or verify a new domain in the Publisher Domain panel without host the file at https://{YOUR-DOMAIN-HERE}.com/.well-known/microsoft-identity-association.json.
Hope this could help you.
I solved this problem by adding a web.config file to the .well-known folder to remove charset=utf8 from the Content-Type response. This appears to be necessary.
Beofre you start you can check with Curl from a PowerShell instance to see if the Content-Type being returned includes the charset and therefore is the source of your problem.
C:> curl https://www.whateveryourdomainis.org/.well-known/microsoft-identity-association.json
The web.config file contents is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<handlers>
<clear />
<add name="MicrosoftIdentityAssociation" path="*" verb="*" modules="StaticFileModule" resourceType="Either" requireAccess="Read" />
</handlers>
<staticContent>
<remove fileExtension=".json" />
<mimeMap fileExtension=".json" mimeType="application/json" />
</staticContent>
</system.webServer>
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="*"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</configuration>
You need to be aware that this will modify the child folders too and so if you have other sub-folders you may have to take remedial action ie another web.config file putting it back. However, it may be that once you have verified the site, the verification code can be deleted.

How can I get Azure App Service to add a custom HTTP response header on a static site?

I have an Azure site that consists only of static html pages. How can I set the cache-control header in the response?
You could use the following code to add your custom cache-control header:
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<httpProtocol>
<customHeaders>
<clear /> <!-- Gets rid of the other unwanted headers -->
<add name="cache-control" value="XXXXX" />
</customHeaders>
<redirectHeaders>
<clear />
</redirectHeaders>
</httpProtocol>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
For more details, you could refer to this article.

IIS Client Certificate Mapping Rule not being respected

I am running IIS 8.5 on a Windows Server 2012 R2. I have configured a WebAPI (built on ASP.net) web site to use HTTPS (self-signed) with IIS Client Certificate Mapping for client certificate authentication. I am using the ManyToOneMapping where I have defined one local account to be associated to the client certificate with the incoming request. Furthermore, I have defined a Rule in the mapping so that if the "Subject" field in the certificate contains a certain string then it should allow the request.
Now, when I hit the url in the API application, Firefox prompts me to select the certificate to be used (as expected). And when i select one of the certificates that does not contain that string defined in the mapping Rule, the browser is still served with the resource. I was expected a forbidden response instead. So, it would appear that the Client Certificate mapping is not working as expected.
As I am new to IIS, I am wondering how I could go about to find out how to troubleshoot this situation. Thanks in advance.
Here is snippet from the applicationhost.config file:
<location path="SimpleApi" overrideMode="Allow">
<system.webServer>
<security>
<authentication>
<iisClientCertificateMappingAuthentication enabled="true" oneToOneCertificateMappingsEnabled="false">
<manyToOneMappings>
<add name="Authorized Access" description="Some long description" userName="SomeUser" password="[enc:AesProvider:removed:enc]">
<rules>
<clear />
<add certificateField="Subject" certificateSubField="OU" matchCriteria="Admin" />
</rules>
</add>
</manyToOneMappings>
<oneToOneMappings />
</iisClientCertificateMappingAuthentication>
</authentication>
</security>
</system.webServer>
</location>
<location path="SimpleApi">
<system.webServer>
<security>
<access sslFlags="Ssl, SslNegotiateCert, SslRequireCert" />
</security>
</system.webServer>
</location>
The only possibility is you have other authentication mechanism enabled for your website and it is simply falling back to that authentication mechanism.
Check the Authentication module for your website in IIS and disable all other authentication mechanism.

Enabling CORS for Web API in Azure Web Apps

I have deployed a Web API project to Azure Web app. And from a angularjs app I am trying a $http.get request to the API. but it gives a CORS(cross-origin) exception though I have enabled it in my Web API startup config
app.UseCors(CorsOptions.AllowAll);
I want to Enable CORS for Azure Web App, that would solve the problem I believe
EDIT
http://nearestbuyweb.azurewebsites.net/ this is the URL of the Web app. It is trying to access http://nearestbuyapi.azurewebsites.net/api/MenuBar where the exception occurs.
I think it is not possible with Azure Web App. MSDN Question
Please help!
Note: You use CORS settings to let other websites access your site's API. Not to access other site's APIs.
Based on your comments it sounds like you're getting the CORS error when you try to make external requests from your site. That's exactly the behavior CORS is supposed to block.
For the errors to go away you would have to apply the CORS config settings on the site who's API you're trying to access.
In your case you want to make sure you're applying the config changes on the http://nearestbuyapi.azurewebsites.net site. NOT on http://nearestbuyweb.azurewebsites.net/
<system.webServer>
<httpProtocol>
<customHeaders>
<clear />
<add name="Access-Control-Allow-Origin" value="*" />
<add name="Access-Control-Allow-Headers" value="Content-Type" />
<add name="Access-Control-Allow-Methods" value="GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS" />
</customHeaders>
</httpProtocol>
</system.webServer>
I have CORS in Azure working using this:
WebApiConfig.cs:
public static class WebApiConfig
{
public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config)
{
// Web API configuration and services
config.EnableCors();
// Web API routes
config.MapHttpAttributeRoutes();
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: "PublicApi",
routeTemplate: "api/v1/{controller}/{id}",
defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
);
}
}
Web.config:
<system.webServer>
<handlers>
<remove name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0" />
<remove name="OPTIONSVerbHandler" />
<remove name="TRACEVerbHandler" />
<add name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0" path="*." verb="*" type="System.Web.Handlers.TransferRequestHandler" preCondition="integratedMode,runtimeVersionv4.0" />
</handlers></system.webServer>
You need to remove the options handler in IIS using web.config.

Sorry Guys,
The issue happens only at my corporate network. Having googled I found that corporate network can be disable CORS requests . Found this here link
