How Do You Customize Your Policy?

  • Artikel

As part of planning for our next release, we're interested in collecting some data on how you customize your security policy.  We're intereseted in as much information as you have to offer.  For instance, do you mainly add code groups to the machine level, or do you use the enterprise and user levels as well?  Generally are you just adding StrongNameMembershipConditions and PublisherMembershipConditions to grant higher trust to specific assemblies, or does your tinkering get more involved than that?  Is the main tool you use caspol, or do you use the .NET Framework Configuration tool in the Control Panel, or possibly even use your own tools?

    Thanks Chris. I take it from your comments that you basically exclusively use the UrlMembershipCondition to trust a site, and use caspol except for the case where you need to deploy your policy via group policy.

    We are using .NET control in IE. For this to do we have strongly named our assembly. Then the XML file is used to import setting with .NET Framework Configuration tool. It is done manualy with a document describing the process. XML file is stored on a web server. So, we are using StrongNameMembershipCondition.

    We are building VSTO applications and have taken the URLMembership approach. Deploying the applications has been a pain because of the security problems. What we have done is created a "Security Installer" that the customes run to setup the correct code policy.

    This installer also adds an entry to fix the "temporary assembly" problem that comes from the Xml serializer.

    We usually customise policy via a custom policy file for each asp.net application. It's strange that there's no GUI for this.

    For Windows, it's mainly done using caspol.

    The Framework Configuration Wizard is useful for viewing settings, but as it doesn't refresh it's not really the best tool to work with.

    Do we get to put forward a wish list?

    How about a version of caspol and the gui that will work with ASP.Net CAS files. That'd be top banana.

    Sorry, never checked back to this thread.

    In answer to your question, yes we use the URL condition almost exclusively, as http is the mechanism for deployment, and with full-trust grant, we want to control the scope as tightly as possible without requiring lots of manual steps.
