validateRequest=“false” not working, even with req

问题:

I have an ASP.NET Web Site running in Visual Studio dev-fabric (azure project) and am using ACS and WIF. My authentication process isn't working because after I login I get this:

A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client (wresult="<t:RequestSecurityTo..."). 

The documentation states that I need to add

<pages validateRequest="false" />

and

<httpRuntime requestValidationMode="2.0" />

And I did - but I'm still getting the error. I've also added validateRequest="false" at the page level. But nada - still getting the same error.

These steps seem to have fixed the issue for other posters - is it something to do with running in dev-fabric perhaps?

回答1:

I hadn't realised, but I'd accidentally added these settings within a location tag created by WIF:

  <location path="FederationMetadata">
    <system.web>
      <authorization>
        <allow users="*" />
      </authorization>
      <!-- wrong! -->
    </system.web>
  </location>
  <system.web>
      <!-- right! -->
    <httpRuntime requestValidationMode="2.0" />
    <pages validateRequest="false" />
