Windows Server AppFabric Architecture Guide

Dhara — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 11:45:00 GMT

The focus of this document is to provide specific recommendations on how to properly design an AppFabric deployment for enterprise-scale load requirements. We will start by providing a high-level understanding of the primary components of AppFabric. Following the high-level introduction, we will look at specific issues that influence your AppFabric architecture. It is important to understand how to conceptually scale out an AppFabric installation at the service and database tiers. These issues include concepts surrounding configuration of the hosting environment, the AppFabric Windows services, and deployment of .NET Framework WCF and WF services to an AppFabric web farm. The configuration of the persistence and monitoring data plays an important role in ensuring that your architecture is able to scale correctly over time. We will finally look at optimizations and different server and cluster configurations at the data-tier level.

How To: Instrument ASP.NET Applications for Security

Dhara — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 13:02:00 GMT

This How To shows you how to use custom health monitoring events to instrument your ASP.NET application to track security-related events and operations. ASP.NET version 2.0 provides health monitoring that includes instrumentation for many standard security-related and infrastructure events common to all ASP.NET applications. If you want to track additional security-related activity not covered by the standard events, or if you want to report on application-specific events, you need to create and raise custom events. This How To includes three samples that show how to build custom events that you can use to track password change events, user account lockout, and access to sensitive business logic.
