我正在尝试对.Net应用程序的Web.Config中的" system.web.membership"元素进行加密，以保护Active Directory的用户名和密码。我正在使用aspnet_regiis命令进行加密，并且尝试为" pe"选项的值尝试了几种不同的字符串，但均未成功。我已经成功加密了web.config上的" connectstrings"元素。

Cmd

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727>aspnet_regiis -pe "connectionStrings" -site MySite -app /MyApp
Encrypting configuration section...
Succeeded!

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727>aspnet_regiis -pe "membership" -site MySite -app /MyApp

Web配置

<configuration>
    ...
    <system.web>
        ...
        <authentication mode="Forms">
            <forms name=".ADAuthCookie" 
                   timeout="30"/>
        </authentication>
        <authorization>
            <deny users="?"/>
            <allow users="*"/>
        </authorization>
        <membership defaultProvider="MyADMembershipProvider">
            <providers>
                <add name="MyADMembershipProvider"
                     type="System.Web.Security.ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0,Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" 
                     connectionStringName="ADConnectionString" 
                     connectionUsername="MyUserName" 
                     connectionPassword="MyPassowrd"/>
            </providers>
        </membership>
        ...
    </system.web>
    ...
</configuration>

那有什么呢？我想念什么？

解决方案

配置部分由" system.web / membership"标识，而不是" membership"或者" system.web.membership"标识。

我知道问题已经解决，但是对于其他人收到此错误消息的情况，似乎只能对web.config的某些部分进行加密。我正在尝试对Web配置中的SMTP设置进行加密：

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
  <system.net>
    <mailSettings>
      <smtp>
        <network host="myhost" port="25" userName="myusername" password="mypassword" />
      </smtp>
    </mailSettings>
  </system.net>
</configuration>

这工作：

aspnet_regiis.exe -pef "system.net/mailSettings/smtp" "path_to_site" -prov "DataProtectionConfigurationProvider"

但是这些没有：

aspnet_regiis.exe -pef "system.net/mailSettings" "path_to_site" -prov "DataProtectionConfigurationProvider"

aspnet_regiis.exe -pef "system.net" "path_to_site" -prov "DataProtectionConfigurationProvider"
