DB Security

While developing my website I notice that sometimes when there is an error in my database the error page shows my connection string with the username and password for my database. Just wondering what the proper way is to prevent this from happening.

Firstly, Robust Exception Information should be off in production. Secondly, you can use a site-wide error handler or use onerror/cferror to deal with errors and display a custom page.

well, talk about timely. i'm tasked to implement a security feature, and would rather do so in the database than the application code. the application is generally Oracle, but sometimes DB2. Oracle has what it calls package DBMS_RLS, which implements application ignorant row level security. scanning this group yielded "you can't do that; use views". then i dug out DB2Mag qtr 1 2004, and there is MLS for v8/390. from this article,...

S**t for brains strikes again! Why did I do that? When I met the clients and at some point they vaguely asked whether eventually would it be possible to have some people who could read the data and some who couldn't but that it wasn't important right now. And I said, 'sure, we can do that later'. So now I've developed an app without any thought to security and am trying to apply it afterwards. Doh!, doh! and triple doh!

Background: When I create a ASP.NET control (User or custom), it often requires security to be set for certain functionality with the control. For example, a news release user control that is comprised of a DataGrid may have separate permissions for adding, deleting and updating a news item. Problem Up until now, I have been implementing security directly inside the control. I will test directly against the security model to see if...

Hi, My security team thinks allowing communication between the two IIS instances leads to severe security risks. Basically, we want to put our presentation tier on the perimeter network and the business tier inside the fire wall or internal network. The biz tier will be developed and deployed as web services on IIS. I know microsoft recommends this architecture but I am not able to convince my security team. They say IIS is vulnerable...

..NET's code Access Security enables administrators to restrict the types of things that a .NET application can do on a local computer. For example, a ..NET Windows Forms application can be prevented from writing to the Registry or writing a file to the local disk. My question: Is this feature unique to .NET? Or is it just as easy for enterprise network administrators to prevent COM applications from writing to the Registry and doing...

Hi, I managed to create a Windows Form Control and put it on my ASP .NET page. I have done the suggestion that is provided by modifying the security settings. From the stack trace, I would assume that the code throws exception when it is trying to retrieve the processes list that has certain name. Below is the code that I use to retrieve the processes. Process processes = Process.GetProcessesByName("xxxx");

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
