dasBlog, medium trust and pingbacks

I had an issue for quite a while with pingbacks in dasBlog:

Error:
System.Security.SecurityException:
Request for the permission of type ‘System.Net.WebPermission, …
failed.

at …
at newtelligence.DasBlog.Runtime.Proxies.WeblogUpdatesClientProxy.Ping(String weblogName, String weblogUrl)

at newtelligence.DasBlog.Runtime.BlogDataServiceXml.PingWeblogsWorker(Object argument)

The action that failed was:

Demand

The type of the first permission that failed was:

System.Net.WebPermission

It comes up that medium trust allows opening connections only to originHost (I guess localhost).

Here’s how I solved it:

go to

%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\{version}\CONFIG\web_mediumtrust.config

and find

<IPermission class=”WebPermission” …

and add some additional URIs:

<IPermission
    class=”WebPermission”
    version=”1″>

    <ConnectAccess>
        <URI uri=”$OriginHost$”/>
            <!– [Mihail Stoynov] dasBlog needs it for pingbacks START –>

            <!– [Mihail Stoynov] dasBlog needs it for pingbacks END –>
        </ConnectAccess>
</IPermission>
