accessing WebService from asp.net App on load balanced Servers

J

Jason

Hi,

I have an ASP.Net application that retrieves Data from a Web Service. When
the Web service resides on the same server I have no problem and the asp.net
page functions as expected. I am using impersonation and the credentials are
being passed to the web service as expected.

Now, when the web service resides on a different server the credentials are
not passed to the webservice and the asp application receives a 401 Error. I
have seen emails about using kerberos but have not been successful in getting
it to work. Could this be because I am using Load balanced servers? (Using
Application Server) I thought this worked when using Windows 2000 Server but
I am now using Windows 2003 Server. Can you tell me What specific steps I
need to take for my asp.net application to function and retrieve content from
a web service passing the credentials of the original user using the asp.net
application??
Thanks
Jason

Hi Jason,

Welcome to asp.net newsgroup.
From your description,you're accessing an ASP.NET webservice from an
asp.net webapplication, the the web application
turn on impesonate so as to use the client user's credential to access the
webservice(authenticated protected...)
However, he found that this worked only when the webservice is on the same
machine with the web applicaiton...
Elsewise, you'll get 401 error, yes?

Based on my experience, this problem is caused by the limitation of normal
windows NTLM authentication's generated logon session. By default the
asp.net implicit impersonated client logon session are network logon
sessions, they have not network credentials. So it is ok for accessing
protected resources on the same box (with the asp.net web application...),
however, when try accessing some remote protected resources... we'll get
access error since no security credential is sent (network logon on session
can not be forwarded to remote machine...). This is a typical double hop
limit...

So as for your scenario, the most recommended and simplest means is to use
a fixed privileged account to access the remote webservice in your asp.net
web application (avoid using the implict impersonated client user's
credential....). Or you can consider still maintain the webservice on the
same server with the asp.net web app....
And for the Kerberos you mentioned, yes, it is possible to configure
kerberos delegation between client and our asp.net webapplication so as to
establish kerberos ticket which can be forwarded to multiple remote
machine(mulitple hops...), but using kerberos delegation may require
complex configuration on both client side (browser ) and serverside
(including asp.net web app's server and webservice's server , also the
win2k or win2003 domain.....), so we do not recommend using this approach
......

Steven,

Thanks for your response. Unfortunately landing the web service on the same
server as the asp.net application is not an option. Neither is using a
hardcoded ID as the web service recognizes the user and sets the response
appropriately. I am amazed that there is no other option. Does the 2.0
framework change anything? I have tried to create an assembly using
EnterpriseServices to handle the impersonation also but it still will not
send the users credentials.. Can you confirm with your colleages if this is
possible with the current framework? or not? This problem seems to remove the
benefit of using a Web Service for the back end data provider...

Thanks
Jason

Thanks for your response Jason,

Actually, this limit is due to the windows NTLM authentication which dosn't
allow an authenticated logon session to double hop multpile machines. So
the client implicit impersonated credential can only access asp.net
server's protected resource but not another remote machine... In
addition to kerberos delegation (which require all the computers involve in
the application's process stream be configured correctly.....), another
apprach is we programmatically impersonate the client user, such
programmatic imperosated session will also be remotable to other machines.
However, programatically impersonate require clear text
username/password....

#How to configure an ASP.NET application for a delegation scenario
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;810572

Anyway, delegate authenticated credential multiple hops is not good ideas
since whenever it skip a more hop, the possibility that the context be
hacked increate. Also, performance overhead is also involved.

Would Constrained Delegation not give me a solution here? This is an Intranet
application and my undertstanding of constrained delegation is that the
Original user impersonation will carry through to the back end server??

Thanks for your response Jason,

Yes, if you're able to successfully implement the kerberos authentication
configuration from the client (browser side....) to your web server and
the remote webservice server (all in the same 2000 or 2003 domain or
trusted domain...), and all the user accounts meet the requirement, the
kerberos token can be forwared from webserver to remote webservice server...

Thanks,

Steven Cheng

Hello Steven Cheng[MSFT],

and if you wonder how that works, have a look at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/05/09/SecurityBriefs/default.aspx

---------------------------------------
Dominick Baier - DevelopMentor
http://www.leastprivilege.com
Thanks for your response Jason,

Yes, if you're able to successfully implement the kerberos
authentication configuration from the client (browser side....) to
your web server and the remote webservice server (all in the same 2000
or 2003 domain or trusted domain...), and all the user accounts meet
the requirement, the kerberos token can be forwared from webserver to
remote webservice server...

Thanks,

Steven Cheng

Steven Cheng[MSFT]

Hey Jason,

Thanks for your further feedback, sorry for haven't making things clear.
Yes, for intranet application within a windows domain (2000 or 2003)
environment, we can have clientside windows authentication's security
context to forward to server , and a more remote server(e.g backend
database....) through kerberos delegation.

Actually, due to the complexity and environment dependent requirement,
there has little complete example like some other technical tricks....
However, we have many msdn reference and technical articles introducing
such features:



For general info on ASP.NET delegation:

#ASP.NET Delegation
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/vsent7/html/vxconaspnetdelegation.as
p?frame=true

#How to configure an ASP.NET application for a delegation scenario
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;810572

#How To: Use Impersonation and Delegation in ASP.NET 2.0
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnpag2/html/paght000023.asp?frame=tr
ue

When the webserver is WIN2K, there needs more configuration due to the
win2k server's particular OS security setting....


#How To Implement Kerberos Delegation for Windows 2000
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/secmod/html/secmod19.asp?frame=true

#Understanding Kerberos Credential Delegation in Windows 2000 Using the
TktView Utility
http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/0500/security/default.aspx


In addition, I remember that we can find some webcasts in the TechNet site
about configuring IIS to suit kerberos delegation scenario....

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/iis/support/webcasts.mspx


Hope helps. Thanks,

Steven Cheng

| | Thanks for your response Jason,
| |
| | Yes, if you're able to successfully implement the kerberos
authentication
| | configuration from the client (browser side....) to your web server
and
| | the remote webservice server (all in the same 2000 or 2003 domain or
| | trusted domain...), and all the user accounts meet the requirement, the
| | kerberos token can be forwared from webserver to remote webservice
| server...
