Encrypt proxy.config file

roufbaba

How can I encrypt the proxy.config file that is provided with the proxy handler? the issue is that all the user credentials are stored there in plain text. Is there any scope so that it should behave like web.config file where we can encrypt section like connection string.

Early reply will be much appreciated.

Regards
Rouf

Hi Helen, I followed your steps. But after I made the code changes, I started seeing the prompt for the provisional layers.

The Provisional layer is the editable layer. The application will connect through the GIS proxy to get the username and password to go and generate a token for the session and allows the application/editor to make and save changes to the layer.

Instead of making a request with the proxy, the application seemed to be going directly to ArcGIS server and that is when the prompt would appear.

Do you any idea of what causes the login dialog prompt?

Many thanks.

Wondering if anyone ever came up with any other solutions for this problem? Or successfully encrypted sections or all of the proxy.config?

Define "proxyUser" and "prxyPwd" with the username and password in the appSettings in web.config. Then modify the proxy.ashx file - set usrName=ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["proxyUser"] and usrPwd=ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["proxyPwd"]; Then replace in proxy.ashx wherever there is username and password with the usrName and usrPwd.

Hi Rouf,

I know it's a couple of years since your question, but did you ever come across a solution for directly encrypting the proxy.config file?

In your work-around with the Web.config, did you need to write additional code in the proxy.ashx to read from web.config?

Regards,

Andrew

Dear Prashant ,
Thankyou very much for the reply. I am aware that we can encrypt the custom section in web.config. This is the workaround that I have to implement. But, What I am not sure that proxy.config being a .config file can also be encrypted some way.

Thanks again for your reply.

I think you can tackle this by creating custom section in the web.config file that stores the server info. Once you create custom section, you can encrypt and decrypt the section just like you do for other sections in the web.config file using aspnet_regiis.

I don't think you can apply that to the proxy.config that comes with the proxy handler.

Here is an article on how to create custom section in asp.net.
