<rules>
<add name="User" expression="R:MyDomain\MyApp Users" />
</rules>
I am getting this exception :
Found token "end of file" when expecting word at position 17.
The solution was painful simple
<add name="User" expression="R:"MyDomain\MyApp Users"" />

I do my best to scan the forum for help to make a web.config to do a Rewrite of this kind of url
domain.com/default.asp?id=3&language=2
My hope is that this can be
domain.com/en/service
where language=2 is "en"
and id=3 is page "Service" (this name exist in a mySQL)
I can only find example that do it vice versa...
Like this
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="enquiry" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^enquiry$" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="/page.asp" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
I would like it to be something like this... I know this isn't correct, but maybe explains my problem.
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="enquiry" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^default.asp?id=3&language=2$" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="/en/serice" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
If you want to use regular expressions you could do something like this
<rule name="RewriteUserFriendlyURL1" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$" />
<conditions>
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="default.asp?language={R:1}&id={R:2}" />
</rule>
This would rewrite "domain.com/en/service" as "domain.com/default.asp?language=en&id=Service", or "domain.com/2/3" as "domain.com/default.asp?language=2&id=3"
To change the 2 to en and the 3 to service, along with all the other options though I think you would need a separate rule for each permutation, or have some sort of logic within your asp pages to read your querystring variables and send the corresponding values to your SQL queries. Note also that the parameters in the friendly url appear in the same order and the querystring variables in the rewritten URL, although this shouldn't really be an issue. If someone tries to access the page with the original "unfriendly" url they will find what they are looking for, whichever way round they enter the querystring variables.
Please note, I didn't actually hand code the rule above, I generated it with the URL Rewrite module in IIS manager - it makes life a lot easier
Also note, as discussed with my namesake in the other answer, this only applies to IIS7 and above
I have done this in Classic ASP using custom error pages and this seems to be the best way unless you use some sort of third party component installed on the server.
To do this, in IIS (or web.config) you need to set up 404 errors to go to a specific custom error Classic ASP page (eg. 404.asp).
In this custom error page you first need to check to see if the URL is valid. If it is you can Server.Transfer to the correct page, return a 200 response code, and parse the URL there to convert the URL to the values needed for the database lookup, etc. If it's not a valid URL then you show a custom error page and return a 404 response code.
The code to check for a valid URL and to retrieve the URL parameters will vary greatly depending on your URL structure. But to find the URL requested on the custom 404 error page you have to look at the querystring, which will be something like "404;http://domain.com:80/en/service/".
Here's some sample code that gets the parameters from the requested URL:
Dim strUrl, intPos, strPath, strRoutes
strUrl = Request.ServerVariables("QUERY_STRING")
If Left(strUrl, 4) = "404;" Then
intPos = InStr(strUrl, "://")
strPath = Mid(strUrl, InStr(intPos, strUrl, "/") + 1)
If strPath <> "" Then
If Right(strPath, 1) = "/" Then strPath = Left(strPath, Len(strPath) - 1)
End If
strRoutes = Split(strPath, "/")
'Here you can check what parameters were passed in the url
'eg. strRoutes(0) will be "en", and strRoutes(1) will be "service"
End If
And here's how you can setup custom error pages in the web.config (rather than in IIS):
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<httpErrors errorMode="Custom" existingResponse="Replace">
<remove statusCode="404" subStatusCode="-1" />
<error statusCode="404" subStatusCode="-1" responseMode="ExecuteURL" path="/404.asp" />
</httpErrors>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
So I'm having an issue and not sure if it's even possible.
Here's the scenario. We utilize an F5 loadbalancer with an i-Rule set to send us a header (HTTP_IV-USER) value based on an access token.
We want to query that header, see if it matches a value we have setup in a rewritemap and then change it accordingly.
I haven't seen anyone doing this with servervariables. It makes sense on how to do it in regards to changing an URL... but we'd like to change a header variable.
Basically we're taking the value from the Token, which is a number, and then matching that number to a username in active directory.
Thanks for the help!
Of course, we can use rewritemap to check and replace the value. You could modify the rule below to achieve your requirement.
<rewriteMaps>
<rewriteMap name="StaticMap">
<add key="aaaaaaaaa" value="bbbbbbbb" />
</rewriteMap>
</rewriteMaps>
<outboundRules>
<rule name="rewritemaprule">
<match serverVariable="HTTP_IV-USER" pattern="(.*)" />
<conditions>
<add input="{StaticMap:{HTTP_IV-USER}}" pattern="(.+)" />
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" value="{C:1}" />
</rule>
</outboundRules>
Trying to use URLRewrite to set up some redirection but retain some (and only some of the query string parameters from the source UR, but running into some problems.
Essentially I need to keep the Google Analytics UTM parameters and move them to the Action URL. Here's the config section or one of my redirects:
<rule name="Anything Else" patternSyntax="ECMAScript" stopProcessing="true">
<match url=".*" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAny" trackAllCaptures="true">
<add input="{QUERY_STRING}" pattern="utm_source=(\w+)" />
<add input="{QUERY_STRING}" pattern="utm_medium=(\w+)" />
<add input="{QUERY_STRING}" pattern="utm_campaign=(\w+)" />
<add input="{QUERY_STRING}" pattern="utm_term=(\w+)" />
<add input="{QUERY_STRING}" pattern="utm_content=(\w+)" />
<add input="{QUERY_STRING}" pattern=".*" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="https://www.google.com?utm_source={C:1}&utm_medium={C:2}" appendQueryString="false" redirectType="Temporary" />
</rule>
The query string may contain none, one, or all of the UTM parameters, but I need these rules fir in any case, as long as the original URL matches. To this end, we have the LogicalGrouping set to MatchAny, and the final condition being a complete wildcard. Testing the conditions individually gives me the back references {C:1} through {C:5} for the UTM parameters, and while there are no matching parameters in the source URL, or no more than one, the rules work.
The problem appears when I have multiple matching conditions in the source URL. IIS throws a 500 error "The expression "https://www.google.com? {C:2}" cannot be expanded."
Am I barking up the wrong tree? Is this even possible? I have the option of coding an HTTPHandler and handing the conversion there, but I was hoping to do this without introducing custom code to the server.
Within a rule action, you can use the back-references to the last matched condition of that rule. Also within a condition input string, you can use the back-references to the previously matched condition.
With that in mind, a possible way to do what you are trying to do is to use the back-reference from previous condition in the next condition's input:
<conditions>
<add input="{QUERY_STRING}" pattern="(?:^|&)var1=([1-9]\d+)(?:&|$)" />
<add input="%{C:1}%_{QUERY_STRING}" pattern="%(.+)%_.*var2=([1-9]\d+)(?:&|$)" />
</conditions>
Then the action of the rule will look like this:
<action type="Redirect" url="newpage.aspx/{C:1}/{C:2}" appendQueryString="false" redirectType="Permanent" />
My source xml looks like this :
<connectionStrings>
<clear />
<add name="StrConn" providerName="SQLNCLI10"
connectionString="Server=dbserver;Database=db;User Id=user;Password=pass;" />
</connectionStrings>
Notice the seemingly innocent <clear /> tag.
Once I've imported this xml, and made changes to the xml file i.e: the connection string. All single tags in the document like <add /> or <clear /> are rewritten to long form eg: <clear></clear> and this prevents my service / app from even running.
It seems crazy since ultimately it seems like valid XML, but yeah it dies with an unknown fault exception, but when replacing the clear tags to all be <clear /> and not <clear ></clear> it works.
How can I prevent installshield from transforming these tags?
Are you using the 'update xml' feature? Try using the 'udpate text file' instead. That's a bit ugly to use for xml files but it works (we've been using it before the update xml feature was introduced)
I am totally new to IIS servers and need to implement some rewrites.
The following rule in my RewriteMaps file causes a 500 error:
<add key="/contenttemplates/news.aspx?id=8589976277&LangType=3081&CurrencyType=156" value="/" />
While this one works fine:
<add key="/offset-air.php" value="/" />
I can only assume the query string has something to do with the issue, but I struggle to find a reason as to why this URL would be an issue. Initial google attempts have come up empty.
I would be very grateful if someone could point me in the right direction.
Many Regards!
If your rewrite maps are causing you issues, you should consider encoding your urls correctly.
An & in the URL (in either the key or the value) should be replaced with an &.
<add key="/contenttemplates/news.aspx?id=8589976277&LangType=3081&CurrencyType=156" value="/" />
would then become:
<add key="/contenttemplates/news.aspx?id=8589976277&LangType=3081&CurrencyType=156" value="/" />
