New Features
- Visual Guard Server
With Visual Guard Server, you will be able to secure .Net applications
that cannot directly access the Security database.
The application will call the Visual Guard Server to authenticate
users and get their roles and permissions.
Then, Visual Guard Runtime will adapt the behavior of the application
to the user. It allows you to run applications designed to be
used in Extranet or Intranet.
- Visual Guard Web Console
Visual Guard .Net provides several options for identity and
role management.
You can use the VG administration console (Winform application).
Or you can use the Visual Guard API to design an administration
form integrated in your application and tailored to your own
requirements.
You will soon be able to use the VG Web Console to fit with
any architecture. Administrators will only need Internet access
to manage users and roles.
The Web Console is used to manage applications, users, roles
and permission sets in remote. However, it’s necessary
to install the Windows Console.
It can be used with Windows, Visual Guard or Database authentication.
The installation is simple and registration is automatic.
- 3 New special roles
In the Visual Guard Console 3 new roles were created:
• Restricted Developer: The developer with this
role can administer the applications for which he is a "Membership
Manager".
• Developer Deployer: The developer with this role
can deploy all applications.
• Restricted Developer Deployer: The developer
with this role can deploy only applications for which he is
a “Membership Manager".
- New APIs
New APIs were created to extend the number of method.
Console
- Added: In the Offline mode the user can select a role in a role list.
Runtime
- Added: Integration of functionalities for the supported VG
Server.

Visual Guard .NET - Version
2.7.802.29
Support of WCF Services
Visual Guard .Net can now be integrated in application hosting
WCF Services. Visual Guard .Net allows authentication based
on Windows account or User/Password and authorization access
to WCF Services.
Support of Windows Vista
The installation process is improved and complies with the
standards recommended by Windows Vista.
Support of WPF Components
It is now possible to create action on WPF Components.
Support of applications loading assemblies dynamically
It is now possible to secure applications loading assemblies
dynamically (like applications using the Microsoft CAB framework).
You can indicate the list of the assemblies in the property
'Other Assemblies' of the application in the console.
Security actions
- Visual Guard .Net language
Visual Guard .Net provides a new language allowing to create
complex expressions. This language supports the getting and
setting properties, method invocation, instantiation of object,
logical and arithmetic operators. This new language can be used
to add a condition to a security action or calculate dynamically
the value of a property.
For instance, it is possible to create an action disabling the
'Delete' button when the sales order displayed in a form is
an order for a client of a country and it is not shipped.
SalesOrder.Customer.Country == ' USA ' and SalesOrder.ShippedDate
!= System.DateTime.MinValue
It is also possible to use this expression to calculate the
value of a property. The following example allows to modify
the Filter of a DataView. If the filter already contains a filter
expression, Visual Guard adds the clause "Country = ' USA
'" at the end of the expression otherwise it sets the filter
with this clause.
#CurrentValue.Length == 0?'Country = '' USA ''':string.Format('({0})
and 'Country = '' USA ''', #CurrentValue)
- Modification of argument of the event raising a security action
Visual Guard .Net now allows to modify the property of the
argument of the event raising a security action. For instance,
it is possible to change the Cancel property of the Closing
event when the action is executed on this event.
Visual Guard Console
It is now possible to filter the list of event by using a date
range. Visual Guard .Net now provides the description of all
predefined Visual Guard .Net events. This list of description
can be edited. It is possible to change standard description
or add a description for custom events. It is now possible to
clean up the events of a repository older than a date (e.g.
is it possible to delete all events older than 6 month).
2 new roles are added to the Visual Guard .Net console: Auditor
and Restricted Auditor. These roles allow to access
a repository in read only mode. An auditor can consult the content
of the repository, generate a report or consult the event log
but it can't grant permission or administrate users of the repository.
Restricted Auditor has the same rights as Auditor but can consult
only a restricted list of application.
ASP.Net
Visual Guard .Net allows to check Visual Guard .Net permission
for all ASP.Net component based on role (LoginView, SiteMap
with Security Trimming, URL authorization mechanism). You just
have to prefix the name of the permission by the '%' character
in place of the name of role. For example, the following Authorization
section of web.config file indicates that only user with the
permission "Allow to edit and delete employee" can
access the content of the folder containing the web.config
< authorization
>
< allow roles
= " %\Employees\Allow
to edit and delete employee " />
< deny
users =
" * " />
</ authorization
>

or will replace the content of an application. When the option
is set to 'Refresh', the process keeps all the items of the
application in the target repository and replaces existing items
by the items of the source repository and adds new items. When
the option is set to 'Replace', the process deletes all items
of the application in the target repository before deploying
the items of the source application.
- Performances are improved during
the initial loading of data.
- A new role 'Restricted User Administrator'
is added to the Visual Guard console. This role has same permissions
as 'User Administrator' role but allows to manage only the applications
for which the user is a member of 'Membership manager' role.

dialog box keeps its last setting after closing the dialog box.
