Experienced developers who are looking to create reliably secure sites with ASP.NET 2.0 will find that Professional ASP.NET 2.0 Security, Membership, and Role Management covers a broad range of security features including developing in partial trust, forms authentication, and securing configuration. The book offers detailed information on every major area of ASP.NET security you’ll encounter when developing Web applications.

You’ll see how ASP.NET 2.0 version contains many new built-in security functions compared to ASP.NET 1.x such as Membership and Role Manager, and you’ll learn how you can extend or modify various features. The book begins with two chapters that walk you through the processing ASP.NET 2.0 performs during a web request and the security processing for each request, followed by a detailed explanation of ASP.NET Trust Levels.

With this understanding of security in place, you can then begin working through the following chapters on configuring system security, forms authentication, and integrating ASP.NET security with classic ASP including integrating Membership and Role Manager with classic ASP. The chapter on session state looks at the limitations of cookieless session identifiers, methods for heading off session denial of service attacks, and how session state is affected by trust level. After the chapter explaining the provider model architecture in ASP.NET 2.0 and how it is useful for writing custom security providers you go to the MembershipProvider class and configuring the two default providers in the Membership feature, SqlMembershipProvider and ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider. You'll see how to use RoleManager to make it easy to associate users with roles and perform checks declaratively and in code and wrap up working with three providers for RoleProvider – WindowsTokenRoleProvider, SqlRoleProvider, and AuthorizationStoreRoleProvider (to work with Authorization Manager or AzMan).

Application frameworks are absolutely vital in the development of every large application by providing common services that are used repeatedly throughout the application. These services can also be shared by multiple domain-specific applications, and hence reduce the time and cost of development.

Application framework also controls the flow of the application, such as how objects are instantiated inside the application, and how developers can customize and extend the framework to fit a specific need for their application.

Building secure distributed Web applications can be challenging. It usually involves integrating several different technologies and products—yet your complete application will only be as secure as its weakest link. This guide presents a practical, scenario-driven approach to designing and building security-enhanced ASP.NET applications for Microsoft® Windows® 2000 and version 1.1 of the Microsoft .NET Framework. It focuses on the key elements of authentication, authorization, and secure communication within and across the tiers of distributed .NET Web applications.

This guide focuses on:

• Authentication—to identify the clients of your application
• Authorization—to provide access controls for those clients
• Secure communication—to help ensure that messages remain private and are not altered by unauthorized parties

Who should read this guide:

Middleware developers and architects who build or plan to build .NET Web applications using ASP.NET, XML Web Services, Enterprise Services (COM+), .NET Remoting, or Microsoft ADO.NET

About “Patterns and Practices”:

Patterns & Practices contain specific recommendations illustrating how to design, build, deploy, and operate architecturally sound solutions to challenging business and technical scenarios. The technical guidance is reviewed and approved by Microsoft engineering teams, consultants, and Product Support Services, and by partners and customers.

UML Applied: A .NET Perspective is the first book to examine the two worlds of Unified Modeling Language (UML) and .NET concurrently.

The core of UML Applied: A .NET Perspective is a set of proven, hands-on, team-oriented exercises that will have the reader solving real-world problems with UML faster than when using any other approach—often in under a day. Martin L. Shoemaker also demonstrates how to use Rational XDE for effective model-driven development.

• Design Patterns are a type of pattern used in the initial design phase of an object-oriented development project
• Documents 46 Visual Basic .NET design patterns, including 20 that have never before been published
• Features case studies that demonstrate how to use design patterns effectively in the real world-and even explains where not to use design patterns
• Companion Web site includes all code and UML models from the book as well as links to appropriate software downloads

XML is the de facto language for communication both within and between distributed applications whether they are on the Internet or a corporate network. It owes its success to its two key strengths: a highly-structured human readable format and the fact that it can be transmitted as pure text. No matter how disparate applications and their architectures may be almost everything can read text files and hence can accept XML data. This gives it a great advantage over rival technologies such as Remoting which were previously popular but which are now being replaced by XML-based solutions.

This book will be the first to provide a complete solution to XML on the .NET 2.0 Framework including the new .NET 3.0 extensions that are being released in January 2007. It will provide readers with everything they need to know to take advantage of XML in every aspect of their working lives up to and including integration using Windows Communication Foundation.
