run windows forms from localIntranet_zone

Hello!

I have a windows forms application developed in VS.NET 2003 (C#) that I want
to install on the intranet. I've created a strong_name.snk file, compiled it
with the app, installed it on the server and on the client machine, I added
the child code group under LocalIntranet_Zone, for that assembly, with full
trust. I did it on two separate intranet systems and it worked in one place
but not the other. I've created a simple test-application (also with strong
name) and just copied the file to the network share but it gave me a warning
that the application was running in a partailly trusted context. Is it some
security settings in Windows causing this error? Where should I look?

Thanks!

Hi Miro

You probably only configured code access (CAS) security for the machine
level. It is possible to do the same on an enterprise and a user level. The
default settings of the enterprise and the user level are such, that they
grant everything every right. Restrictions take place on the machine level.
The way CAS works is, that it grants the intersection of the security
permissions granted on each level.
The reason for your problem might be, that either the enterprise and/or the
user level are configured so that they do not grant certain permissions for
the LocalIntranet_Zone.
Therefore, check this settings in the environment, where you have problems.

Cheers, Peter

Hello Peter!

Thanks for your help.

I've checked the settings and both Enterprise and User levels had Fulltrust
for the All_Code Group. I installed the .NET Framework together with my
application (with dotnetfx.exe) so I guess the Framework has it's default
settings. I've tried to add a child code group for my strong name assembly
under Enterprise and User but since it allready had full rights it didn't
make any difference.

Hoping for more help.

Regards
Miro
