MachineKeySection Class

Definition

Defines the configuration settings that control the key generation and algorithms that are used in encryption, decryption, and message authentication code (MAC) operations in Windows Forms authentication, view-state validation, and session-state application isolation. This class cannot be inherited.

public sealed class MachineKeySection : System.Configuration.ConfigurationSection
type MachineKeySection = class

Inheritance

Examples

The example in this section demonstrates how to specify values declaratively for several attributes of the machineKey section, which can also be accessed as members of the MachineKeySection class.

The following example from a configuration file shows how to specify values declaratively for the machineKey section.

<system.web>  
  <machineKey validationKey="AutoGenerate,IsolateApps"   
    decryptionKey="AutoGenerate,IsolateApps"   
    validation="SHA1"/>  
</system.web>  

This example uses SHA1. Due to collision problems with SHA1, Microsoft recommends SHA256.

The following example demonstrates how to use the MachineKeySection class in code.

Remarks

The MachineKeySection class provides a way to programmatically access and modify the content of the MachineKey section in the configuration file. The MachineKey section can be configured at the machine (Machine.config) or application (Web.config) level and controls the keys and algorithms that are used for Windows Forms authentication, view-state validation, and session-state application isolation. For any of these features to work across a network of Web servers (a Web farm), the DecryptionKey and ValidationKey attributes of the MachineKey section must be configured explicitly and identically with valid key values. The AutoGenerate value does not work for Web farms, because it relies on a cryptographically random secret, which is persisted using machine-local protection and will not be the same across more than one computer.

Notes to Inheritors

If you to specify keys in this configuration section, as is required in Web-farm scenarios, it is recommended that you encrypt this section by using protected configuration.
