I have recently upgraded our Azure solution to use the new 1.7 SDK. CSPack warned that it was running on a legacy syntax and required a definition in the service definition to run under full IIS. Here's what I added.
<Sites>
<Site name="Web" physicalDirectory="..\Portal\MyApp.Portal">
<Bindings>
<Binding name="HttpIn" endpointName="HttpIn" />
</Bindings>
</Site>
</Sites>
The web role is an MVC3 application with the following mail settings defined in web.config.
<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp deliveryMethod="Network">
<network host="smtp.gmail.com" userName="support#myapp.com" enableSsl="true" port="587" password="mypassword"/>
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
These settings are pulled fine from web.config for sending emails from code by just declaring a SMTP client and using it to send emails,
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
But when I add the section to the service definition the setting are not used and I get a SMTP host was not specified every time an email is attempted. The new SmtpClient() has none of the settings from config. I can not figure out how to fix this nor can I find any info elsewhere.
Try changing the name of your site to anything other than "Web".
There's a poorly documented feature of this syntax that a site with the name of "Web" will have all of it's settings like physicalDirectory ignored. If this works it might pay to think about whether or not you actually need the physicalDirectory specified.

currently We have CAS SSO to our existing .net application, but now client is asking for Shibboleth SSO instead CAS. I'm totally new to Shibboleth.
Client has given the below details:
entityid= urn:mace:incommon:xxx.edu
metadata URL for test environment is:
https://shibboleth-test.xxx.edu/idp/shibboleth
By using guidelines from Shibboleth site, below are the steps i followed.

Installed Java with JCE
Installed Shibboleth Idp (in which jetty also checked)(shibboleth-identity-provider-3.3.3-x64.msi)

Problems I'm facing......
When i try to access https://shibboleth-test.xxx.edu/Shibboleth.sso/Status
getting error no metadataprovider available.
Noticed Problems:
1.when i try to add Metadataprovider Shibboleth daemon 2 service is getting
stopped and unable to start.if i remove it's is running.
2.Shibboleth Idp 3 deamon is getting stopped very frequently
When i run 'SC interrogate shibd_idp' in command prompt, results are
control service failed 1062
the service has not been started.
I donno what is wrong with my work.
Can any one please tell me what are the steps to be followed to accomplish this integration.
Thanks in advance,
Hema
There will be a tag in shibboleth2.xml called metadata provider, you will need to open that.
If you have done this but shill service is not getting started then you can check the log and give additional info in question.
Another reason I can think of is connection problem. Try downloading idP's metadata and store it physically in the SP configuration folder. Manually map the file, using following tag
<MetadataProvider type="XML" file="partner-metadata.xml"/>
All the issues has been resolved after we upgraded from Shibboleth 2.6 to 3.0.2. we are getting the Shibboleth Identity provider login page.We are able to see the attributes in Session.Now we are working on how to retrieve the attributes in our application and how to redirect to our application home page.Currently we created 1 sample html page under secure folder in our application. once we logged in we are able to this html page.But when i tried to redirect to our application home page, it's giving 500 error. Can any one knows like how to redirect to our app home page and retrieve the attributes in the application.
I have an existing WCF REST service running on an Azure Windows Server 2012 using IIS8. Let say 1x.2x.3x.4x:7777/InvService.svc/RESTquery is how my users currently use the service.
I am wanting to replace the IP address with a hostname, say www.testDomain.com so the user will can then use www.testDomain.com:7777/InvService.svc/RESTquery.
After obtaining the domain name from GoDaddy, assigning IP 1x.2x.3x.4x, and testing it (my default site on the server comes up, hence why I am using port 7777). When I try www.testDomain.com:7777/InvService.svc/RESTquery I get a "Connection Timed Out" error.
I believe I am needing to add or change something inside my Web.config file but cannot seem to find the right answer. Here is what my current unsuccessful Web.config file looks like.
<services>
<service name="WCFInventoryService.InvService">
<endpoint address="RESTquery" behaviorConfiguration="restPoxBehavior"
binding="webHttpBinding" contract="WCFInventoryService.IInvService" />
<identity>
<dns value="www.testDomain.com" />
</identity>
</endpoint>
<host>
<baseAddresses>
<add baseAddress="http://www.testDomain.com/"/>
</baseAddresses>
</host>
</service>
</services>
What am I doing wrong? or should try?
I solved my problem. The problem was how the domain was set up in GoDaddy. In the GoDaddy account, the domain was set up to forward to the IP address and not to point to. Once I removed the forwarding record and changed the A record to point to the IP address in the GoDaddy account, the WCF service was accessible by using www.testDomain.com:7777/InvService.svc/RESTquery
The problem
I am trying to create an autodiscover script for the users of my website. Currently I am creating a working connection to my mail-server, however my mail server requires SMTP authentication. I am currently sending:
<AuthRequired>on</AuthRequired>
in the full XML file to enable SMTP authentication. This enables the checkmark in the details next to "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication". The bullet list with the two options "use same settings as my incoming mail server" (prefered) or "Log on using" has no option selected.
What I've tried
I have tried adding the POP3 information and putting the following attribute in my SMTP part:
<UsePOPAuth>on</UsePOPAuth>
However that did not work. To create the XML file I have used the following URL: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc511507.aspx
My current XML document
<Autodiscover xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/autodiscover/responseschema/2006">
<Response xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/autodiscover/outlook/responseschema/2006a">
<Account>
<AccountType>email</AccountType>
<Action>settings</Action>
<Protocol>
<Type>IMAP</Type>
<Server>mail.test.nl</Server>
<Port>143</Port>
<DomainRequired>on</DomainRequired>
<LoginName>me#test.nl</LoginName>
<SPA>off</SPA>
<SSL>off</SSL>
<AuthRequired>on</AuthRequired>
</Protocol>
<Protocol>
<Type>SMTP</Type>
<Server>mail.test.nl</Server>
<Port>587</Port>
<DomainRequired>on</DomainRequired>
<LoginName>me#test.nl</LoginName>
<SPA>off</SPA>
<SSL>off</SSL>
<AuthRequired>on</AuthRequired>
<SMTPLast>on</SMTPLast>
</Protocol>
</Account>
</Response>
</Autodiscover>
I found a very useful article on TechNet which basically explains why this is happening. From what i understood, specifying the SMTPLast property makes Outlook attempt to login to POP/IMAP before SMTP, without actually authenticating SMTP (some servers such as my school's only work this way).
I reproduced the same problem you had with that config but once i removed it, it worked like a charm.
I noticed there isn't a lot of useful documentation about Autodiscover, aka POX autodiscover so here's the xml template that worked for me:
<Autodiscover xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/autodiscover/responseschema/2006">
<Response xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/autodiscover/outlook/responseschema/2006a">

Installer installs windows service.
I provide form to user to select one of accounts to start the service:
Local service
Local System
Network System
User account
When I select User and enter Domain\Administrator account + pwd during the installation, service cannot be started.
When I select Local Service it started ok. After this I can change manually account to the same Domain\Administrator account and it started ok.
Why such different behavior?
How I can start service during the installation under any users' account?
Take a look at the Util Extensions User element. You can set the CreateUser attribute to no, the Name attribute to the [PROPERTY] that you are using in your UI for UserName Input and the LogonAsService attribute to yes. This will instruct WiX to grant your user the LogOnAsService right without having to write a custom action to call ntrights.exe.
Here's a sample as requested:

You need to make sure that the selected user account has the right to log on as a service. It doesn't matter if you are an Administrator, you cannot install services for an user without giving him the log on right.
If setting this policy works, you also need to do it dynamically during install. A solution is to use ntrights.exe as a custom action. This custom action can use your custom properties which contains the user account information.
In case anyone wonders why the code from #Christopher Painter his answer didn't work. I had similar code that didn't work with error 1923.
Error 1923. Service '' () could not be installed. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to install system services.
MSI (s) (10:08) [15:55:00:161]: Product: '' (64 bit) -- Error 1923. Service '' () could not be installed. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to install system services.
Until I found that services.msc dialog needs to be closed during installation.
No idea why, but it works.
During development services.msc was open all the time, so I never noticed.
I have setup a Continuous Integration environment using CruiseControl.Net. I want to know how an email can be sent to a person at the time of a build failure.
Thanks in Advance.
You can use an <email> block within your <publishers> block.
Our system looks like this:
<publishers>
<xmllogger />
<email from="cruise#ourcompany.com" mailhost="mail.ourcompany.com" includeDetails="TRUE" mailport="25" useSSL="FALSE">
<users>
<user name="Mr Happy" group="buildmaster" address="mrhappy#ourcompany.com" />
<user name="Mr Strong" group="buildmaster" address="mrstrong#ourcompany.com" />
</users>
<groups>
<group name="buildmaster" notification="change" />
</groups>
<converters>
<regexConverter find="$" replace="#ourcompany.com" />
</converters>
<modifierNotificationTypes>
<NotificationType>Failed</NotificationType>
<NotificationType>Fixed</NotificationType>
</modifierNotificationTypes>
</email>
</publishers>
NB, we use an <svn> source control block to get latest source and trigger a build. The <regexConverter> section takes the svn user and adds "#ourcompany.com" to the end to form an email address.
You will need the details for an SMTP server to send the email. I believe it is possible to use gmail for this, but our company has its own SMTP server.
With this system, the "build masters" (Mr Happy and Mr Strong) will get an email whenever the build status changes, and anyone who has committed code into SVN will get an email when the build their code causes fails or is fixed.
The <xmllogger/> section is necessary as by default (if you have no <publishers> section), there is an XML logger publisher. This logs the information for the web interface.
