Impersonation in ASP.NET MVC

I have an Action that needs to read a file from a secure location, so I have to use impersonation to read the file.

This code WORKS:

[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Get)]
public ActionResult DirectDownload(Guid id)
{
    if (Impersonator.ImpersonateValidUser())
    {
        try
        {
            var path = "path to file";
            if (!S开发者_JAVA技巧ystem.IO.File.Exists(path))
            {
                return View("filenotfound");
            }

            var bytes = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(path);
            return File(bytes, "application/octet-stream", "FileName");
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            Log.Exception(e);
        }finally
        {
            Impersonator.UndoImpersonation();
        }
    }
    return View("filenotfound");
}

The only problem with the above code is that I have to read the entire file into memory and I am going to be dealing with VERY large files, so this is not a good solution. But if I replace these 2 lines:

var bytes = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(path);
return File(bytes, "application/octet-stream", "FileName");

with this:

return File(path, "application/octet-stream", "FileName");

It does NOT work and I get the error message:

Access to the path 'c:\projects\uploads\1\aa2bcbe7-ea99-499d-add8-c1fdac561b0e\Untitled 2.csv' is denied.

I guess using the File results with a path, tries to open the file at a later time in the request pipeline when I have already "undone" the impersonation.

Remember, the impersonation code works because I can read the file in the bytes array. What I want to do though is stream the file to the client.

Any idea how I can work around this?

Thanks in advance.


You may try writing a custom FilePathResult:

public class ImpersonatingFileResult : FilePathResult
{
    public ImpersonatingFileResult(string fileName, string contentType) 
        : base(fileName, contentType)
    { }

    protected override void WriteFile(HttpResponseBase response)
    {
        // TODO : Start impersonation
        response.TransmitFile(FileName);
        // TODO : Rollback impersonation
    }
}

and in your controller:

return new ImpersonatingFileResult(path, "application/octet-stream");


I like Darin's answer, but it skips the impersonation logic, and it throws an error in IIS 7...

So, I added the impersonation code as you could by utilizing Nuget Package SimpleImpersonation.

Also, a couple changes were thrown in for IIS 7 to prevent an invalid handle error.

public class ImpersonatingFileResult : FilePathResult
{
    public ImpersonatingFileResult(string fileName, string contentType)
        : base(fileName, contentType)
    { }

    protected override void WriteFile(HttpResponseBase response)
    {
        using (SimpleImpersonation.Impersonation.LogonUser(domain: "SomeDomain", username: "SomeUser", password: "SomePassword", logonType: SimpleImpersonation.LogonType.NewCredentials))
        {
            response.Clear();
            response.ContentType = base.ContentType;
            response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + System.IO.Path.GetFileName(base.FileName));
            response.TransmitFile(FileName);
            response.Flush();
        }
    }

And then using it from controller:

        return new ImpersonatingFileResult(someFilePath, "Application/pdf");

The above is for downloading the file, but if you want to display it, then you need to specify "inline".

            response.Clear();
            response.ContentType = base.ContentType;
            response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=\"" + System.IO.Path.GetFileName(base.FileName) + "\"");
            response.TransmitFile(FileName);
            response.Flush();
