Hi Team,
I have a silverlight WebApplication, it has a folder on webserver that download a document and store for clients to view. The issue I am facing is that eventhough windows authentication is enabled and directory browesing is disabled. I am able to access and view the image using the url i.e. (http:\loclahost\webapp\dir\image1.tif) form a different domain.Is there some configuration I can do on web server (IIS 8) or I need to adopt some encryption logic in my code.
Any suggestion or help on this would be of gr8 help.
If it's what I'm thinking, You must set permissions to IISUSRS (a system user created for ISS) to write and read your folder.

I encountered a weird scenario. I have created an MVC2 Application and deployed it to IIS7, to 2 web sites (Default Web Site and another manually created "Test Web Site" ... they are using different application pools targeting v2.0). I am using SQL 2008 R2 Filestream feature to store files.
The problem I have is that I have a feature where the user browsing the site can download a document. The document is created in the server and the server then streams that to the client. The problem is, Default Web Site asks for authentication when user tries to download.
This doesn't happen for Test Web Site and it downloads fine.
Now, I do not have a clue what setting I need to change? The only different things I recall is that I manually created Test Web Site compared to just reusing the Default Web Site and also that I allowed inbound connections to Test Web Site (it was on port 8080).
What are the configurations needed to change so that user can download files from Default Web Site without going through authentication?
Try changing authentication settings in IIS Site->Authentication->Anonymous Authentication set to Enable
Turns out it was conflicting with the SQL Server Reports Manager.
Found this out from here: source
Last year someone reported encountering this problem ("The Silverlight project you are about to debug uses web services. Calls to the web service will fail unless the silverlight project is hosted in and launched from the same web project that contains the web services.") and accepted the answer to "set the web project which hosts the Silverlight application to be your startup project."
I'm seeing the same message, but think the solution might have to be different. I am building in VS 2010 a Silverlight application to access the Google Weather API, with VB as the code-behind. The API will return a XML file with data for the specified city (ex., "http://www.google.com/ig/api?weather=london,england"). The Solution Explorer only shows my VB/Silverlight project ("GetWeather"), and the Project Properties dialog box shows the Startup Object as "GetWeather.App" -- the only choice. I'm trying to use a WebClient object to make the call and an XDocument object to parse the return. But I repeatedly get the above error message, with no other result. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you in advance!
I would add a simple Web project and configure it to host the Silverlight app. You'll need to host the app somewhere anyways, so why not create a stub ASP.NET application in your solution? The easiest way is to create a new Silverlight app solution selecting an ASP.NET web project as the host, and then copying your existing code to that solution. Then you should set the web project as the startup one. This should make debugging a lot easier.
Besides, do remember to configure the client access policy to enable cross-domain calls. Check out this article
We currently have a Silverlight application which is hosted in a SharePoint 2010 page. The Silverlight app makes web service calls to a another server on our domain, which has a clientaccesspolicy file in place. We are experiencing cross-domain issues in our production environment.
Users in the farm admin group can use the Silverlight application without any issues. However, all other users recieve the generic cross domain exception when they try to use this app. We have attached Fiddler to the process and noticed that the farm admins are served the clientaccesspolicy file, but that non-admin users are not. In fact, Fiddler does not ever show an attempt to load this file for non-admins.
This only happens in our production environment, which leads me to believe there is a web config or permission setting causing the issue. Unfortunately, I cannot find anything that backs this up.
Has anyone else run into this issue or know if such a setting exists?
See comments above. I had to change the URL to use the full machine name i.e. from webserver/service.svc to webserver.domain.com/service.svc. It solved the problem but doesn't answer the question about why the farm admins could access it. vorrtex's response is the best possible explanation I have seen so far.
I have a Silverlight application with some appSettings in my Web.Config file. Now I want to make it OOB, what is the best way to handle this.
Should I download config file using WebClient when running in OOB.
Please suggest if you have any good method?
Any "app settings" in a Web.Config are only used by the web/server part of your Silverlight application. Not by the client application (unless you pass them on to the client).
It should not make any difference if your Silverlight App is running OOB... It is still just a client app, requiring information from your web server (if you wish to pass them on).
Basically, you should not need to change anything, unless you are doing something wrong in the first place. Can you explain what sort of settings you are needing in your client application?
I am developing wpf application which uses the source to the controls from wcf service that will access a file or folder contents present in another network.My problem is when it searches in another network,it asks for the Credentials for that network.The Message is "Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password." How can I Solve it?
It is a problem of accessing remote files from code.
One of the solutions is using virtual disc drive that is mapped to the network. Another solution is using impersonation.
Check these links, the code can be helpful:
