I want to configure the IIS to accept only the request from users who belong to a particular AD Group. This configuration is required at Default Website level. So on Default Website I enabled Windows Authentication, went to Authorization rules option,choose Add Allow Rule and put the AD group in "Specified roles or user groups:".
This does not work with any AD group (for which I am a member). This work well when I put the AD user in the next option "Sepcified User" https://i.stack.imgur.com/hbqhK.png .
Can some one please help on what I am missing. As stated above I want to do it at Default Website level on IIS so there is no Web.config invovled.
Cheers.
Real old thread, but in case anyone Googling this issues comes across the same problem:
I could only get this to work with AD groups that are have their Group Type set to "Global" in AD. Ones set to "Security" wouldn't work for me.
In IIS this is specified under the "Roles" section on the IIS Authorization rules.
I have only Windows Authentication selected as an authentication method. Strange IIS bug?
Here is the web.config for reference
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<security>
<authorization>
<remove users="*" roles="" verbs="" />
<add accessType="Allow" users="" roles="DOMAIN\TestGroup" />
</authorization>
</security>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>

I know that this has been asked before here, but I couldn't find a way to fix this. I'm using VS 2022/MVC 5/IISExpress and these are my configs:
web.config:
<authentication mode="Windows" />
<authorization>
<deny users="?" />
</authorization>
And these lines in my vbproj file:
<IISExpressAnonymousAuthentication>disabled</IISExpressAnonymousAuthentication>
<IISExpressWindowsAuthentication>enabled</IISExpressWindowsAuthentication>
According to the approved solution in this post the above should work, but doesn't. I am logged in to Windows using my domain account and have been added to local administrators group (Of course I'm not a domain admin, just a standard user). I can login to my web app using my own domain account, but not with other domain accounts (I have tried two different accounts). Any credentials other than mine is rejected by application. How can I fix it?
I'm trying to secure a simple ASP.net website hosted on an internal IIS10 instance so that only a specific AD group can access it.
All my testing (and the final usage) would be internal to the same domain on which the IIS server resides - no external or cross-domain usage will occur.
Within Site Authentication I only have Windows Authentication enabled with a HTTP 401 Challenge response type. Enabled providers are Negotiate and NTLM (in that order), Extended Protection is Off and Kernel-mode authentication is enabled
In .NET Authorisation Rules I have no explicit Deny Rules.
If I add a 'Specified users' Allow Rule for my user account (and thus the user for which I'm testing access to the website) then I am able to access the website. At this point the relevant area of the web.config file looks like this:
<authorization>
<allow users="MYDOMAIN\MYUSERACCOUNT" />
</authorization>
If I remove that Allow Rule and add a 'Specified roles or user groups' Allow Row for an AD group for which my user account is a member of then I am unable to access the website and browsing to it prompts me for a Sign in dialog box which entering my AD credentials then gives a 401 error.
At this point the relevant area of the web.config file looks like this:
<authorization>
<allow roles="MYDOMAIN\AwesomeUsers" />
</authorization>
I've tried changing various Authentication settings (changing the order, disabling Kernel-mode authentication etc), adding the domain groups in the 'allow users' section in the Web.config but I just cant get AD group authentication working.
IIS isn't my strong point so would really appreciate any hints or tips I can try, Thanks! :)
try to use below code:
web.config:
<configuration>
<system.web>
<authentication mode="Windows" />
<authorization>
<allow roles="DOMAIN\ADGROUP" />
<deny users="*" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
</configuration>
applicationHost.config:
<configuration>
<location path="YOUR-APP">
<system.webServer>
<security>
<authentication>
<anonymousAuthentication enabled="false" />
<windowsAuthentication enabled="true" />
</authentication>
</security>
</system.webServer>
</location>
</configuration>
Can Orchard work with AD and Windows authentication?
I need to allow only specific AD groups access to a blog. The rest of the site should be accessible to any valid domain user. The admin dashboard should only be accessible by another specific AD group.
[ update ]
At the suggestion of ViRuSTriNiTy, I tried the following:
- install the windowsauth module
http://gallery.orchardproject.net/Packages/Orchard.Module.AlexZh.WindowsAuthentication
- in the admin settings, I added a user for myself as "my-domain\my-user-name", where the domain name and user are mine.
- added a role to match a AD role that I am a member of and gave this role access to everything.
- switched the iis settings over to use windows auth, and turned off anonymous
- updated the web.config to use windows auth and specify the role that I setup previous
However,I cant get to the admin panel now. What could I be missing?
[ update 2 ]
After noticing the documentation link he provided (duh), I saw that I needed to enable windows auth for the modules. So I enabled IIS anonymous again (so I could log in), and updated the settings for the modules, but I see no option under Settings\Users for to enable windows auth. Did it move?
Im using v1.10.2
You can use the module AlexZh.WindowsAuthentication.
Documentation: http://orchardwinauth.codeplex.com/documentation
First you need to change the Orchard.Web project properties (in Visual Studio, click on project + F4) to ...
Anonymous Authentication: Disabled
Windows Authentication: Enabled
... and then you need to change the Orchard.Web\Web.configto something like this
<authentication mode="Windows">
<forms loginUrl="~/Users/Account/AccessDenied" timeout="2880" />
</authentication>
<roleManager enabled="true" defaultProvider="AspNetWindowsTokenRoleProvider" />
<authorization>
<allow roles="YourDomain\Domain Users" />
<deny users="?" />
</authorization>
The permissions can be configured as usual based on Orchard roles.
I've been using this module since 2 years now and i'm pretty happy with it but be aware that the module has several bugs:
it might cause a deadlock, see https://github.com/OrchardCMS/Orchard/issues/7688
it creates a new user when the logged in domain user cannot be found in the Orchard DB, you might want to alter the class CustomAuthenticationService to avoid this (i can provide some code if you need it)
I have a simple HTML site that I need to add windows authentication to so that I can limit certain resources.
I currently have the site running in a dev environment (IIS on my local machine) and I cannot seem to achieve the results that I need.
The main site needs to be open......anyone can access it. However, the subpages and their resources (downloadable pdfs and such) need to be blocked to certain AD security groups.
1) Using the web.config file below - the WHOLE site is asking for authentication (which is not what I want) and once I provide authentication, I am NOT being blocked from the location path that I provide.
2) This web.config IS NOT what my final one will look like, I was just testing to see if I could block a resource before I actually drop in my real allow/deny logic
Here is my simple web.config file:
<configuration>
<system.web>
<authentication mode="windows" />
</system.web>
<location path="district/district.html">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<deny users="*" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
</configuration>
To secure a Single Page or document in IIS 7.5 with Windows authentication simply follow these steps:
1. Open IIS 7 Manager.
2. Click on “Content View “at the bottom of the IIS 7 Manager and navigate to the file you want to password protect.
3. Right click on the target file and choose “Switch to Features View”.
4. Double click on Authentication under IIS Area.
5. Disable “Anonymous Authentication”.
6. And Enable “Windows Authentication”.

Error
Locally everything works perfectly, but to publish my site the following error occurs:
Access to the path 'D:\Hosting\8399780\html\dev\App_Sprites\blank.gif' is denied.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'D:\Hosting\8399780\html\dev\App_Sprites\blank.gif' is denied.
ASP.NET is not authorized to access the requested resource. Consider granting access rights to the resource to the ASP.NET request identity. ASP.NET has a base process identity (typically {MACHINE}\ASPNET on IIS 5 or Network Service on IIS 6 and IIS 7, and the configured application pool identity on IIS 7.5) that is used if the application is not impersonating. If the application is impersonating via <identity impersonate="true"/>, the identity will be the anonymous user (typically IUSR_MACHINENAME) or the authenticated request user.
To grant ASP.NET access to a file, right-click the file in Explorer, choose "Properties" and select the Security tab. Click "Add" to add the appropriate user or group. Highlight the ASP.NET account, and check the boxes for the desired access.
Attempt
In an attempt to resolve the problem within 'App_Sprites' folder, added the following web.config:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="*" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
<system.webServer>
<security>
<authorization>
<add accessType="Allow" users="*" />
</authorization>
</security>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
'blank.gif' image is not used anywhere in my application!
Inside the App_Sprites folder there are a only one subfolder called hire;
I believe that this framework is trying to write a blank.gif file to that directory. You need to give the account under which the IIS app pool runs write access to that folder in windows.
