RE: Problems with security requirements in Windows WorkGroups.

Hi Domingo,

After testing on two workgroup(non-domain) machines, I've repro the
problem. I'll do some further research on this and let you know as soon as
I get any new update.

Sincerely,

Ok Steven, I will wait until you test a non-domain environment (remember I
tested a WorkGroup).

Thanks,

Domingo.

Hi Domingo,

I have performed some tests on the projects, so far I've tried running
it
on multiple machines (such as XP or windows 2k3 server). I have domain
environment, so I use local accounts to run both of them and here is the
result:

** with duplicated account(same username/password), it works

** with a normal local account(only exists on client machine), it fails.

I'll try establising a non-domain environment to see whether it differs.
It
may take some further time since all my existing local test environment
are
in domain.

Hi Domingo,

I've got the email. Seems it is origially routered to an incorrect
folder
which made me miss it. I'll perform some test on it and let you know
my
results.

Hi again, Steven.

I have sent you an email some days ago with the example code to the
address
you wrote me below. Did you receive it? If not, please let me know to
try
to
send it again.

Thank you very much, sincerally,

Domingo.

Hello Steven, first of all, thank you for your quick answer.

Yes, of course I have a security error as you can read in the error
message
I obtain:

"A remote side security requirement was not fulfilled during
authentication.
Try increase the ProtectionLevel and/or ImpersonationLevel".

(No Inner Exception is thrown)

I can give you some code generated for the error purpose. It
consists
in a
small chat application between a client (ChatClient) and a server
(ChatServer). By the way, how should I send you the code? I can not
find a
way in my web news interface... :(

I am executing the example in two machines with Windows XP, the
same
users
and passwords in both machines and belonging to a WorkGroup.

When I try to use the TCP channel I get the error (with NO inner
exception
messages) I have written above.

Thanks again and regards,

Domingo.

Hi Domingo,

From your description, I got that you're encountering some
security
error
when using .net remoting to communicate between client , server
application, correct?

Based on my experience, this general error message could be
caused
by
many
things such as user identity not supplied, or the client and
server
channel's security setting not match.....

As for the error, what's the innerException, generally the inner
exception
may provide some further information. Also, for non-domain
machines
that
need to communicate under windows authentication, you need to use
a
duplicated account(with same username/password) on both sides.
If
convenient, you can try creating a simplified client/server
project
pair(with a very simple remoting class) to demonstrate the
problem.
And
you
can send me the package so that I can also perform some tests on
my
side.

Hello everybody,

I have a .NET C# client-server application that is being used in
two
machines with Windows XP installed. Both the client and the
server
are
executed into users of a Work Group.

I am using .NET Remoting to connect the client and the server
with
a
TCP
channel. The registration of the channel is made by using the
following
code:

"ChannelServices.RegisterChannel(channel, true);"

Where "channel" is a TCP channel. The ensureSecurity option is
set
to
"true"
in order to ensure the channel encryption.

Both the client and sever must send objects to each other
(usually
using a
proxy).

The problem is, although this environment works well in most of
the
cases,
I
have an example where I obtain the following error text when the
server
tries
to access the client proxy (the error is displayed in the
client):

"A remote side security requirement was not fulfilled during
authentication.
Try increase the ProtectionLevel and/or ImpersonationLevel".

It is important to remark that the (.NET Remoting) proxies have
right
permissions when accessing the server from the client.

After that, I have proved making the following change to the TCP
channel:

"ChannelServices.RegisterChannel(channel, false);"

That is, setting "false" the ensureSecurity option. So this
means
(as
the
Microsoft documentation says) that the channel will be encrypted
only
in
case
it is possible. So in this case the error is resolved because
although
the
server does not have the proper client credentials, the channel
will
not
