Is it possible to specify a relative connection string for an AzMan XML store?
My current connection string is connectionString="msxml://c:/azman.xml"
but I really need to make that relative so other developers and automated builds can get the latest authorization store.
MS documentation seems to suggest that connectionString="msxml://azman.xml"
should work but that throws a The request is not supported
error.
EDIT: I realised that the fact I'm using AzMan through the Enterprise Library Security Application Block was important to the question.
It is possible to enter the token {currentPath} into the connection string used by the security application block.
This gave me the behavior I was after, allowing the AzMan.xml file to be accessed from with the application folder.
The connection string I am using is:
<authorizationProviders>
<add storeLocation="msxml://{currentPath}/azman.xml"
application="My_Application" scope="" auditIdentifierPrefix="AzMan Authorization Provider"
type="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Security.AzMan.AzManAuthorizationProvider, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Security.AzMan, Version=3.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"
name="AzMan Provider" />
</authorizationProviders>
Adding the ~ will make it relative to the application
<add name="AuthorizationServices" connectionString="msxml://~/App_Data/AzMan.xml"/>
