A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client (wresult="<trust:RequestSecuri...")

Question

I am also getting a request validation error when using WIF. I get correctly sent to the STS, but on the way back, I get this validation error.

I followed all the instructions.

<httpRuntime  requestValidationMode="2.0" />

check!

    [ValidateInput(false)]

check!

<pages validateRequest="false" >

check!

I tried a custom validator, but it never gets instantiated.

Error stack:

[HttpRequestValidationException (0x80004005): A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client (wresult="trust:RequestSecuri...").]
   System.Web.HttpRequest.ValidateString(String value, String collectionKey, RequestValidationSource requestCollection) [phone]

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

<httpRuntime requestValidationMode="2.0"/>

after this add

<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <pages validateRequest="false" />
    </system.web>
</configuration>

also in mvc3 there is an AllowHtml attribute

[AllowHtml]
public string Property{ get; set; }

ASP.NET MVC – pages validateRequest=false doesn’t work?

Why is ValidateInput(False) not working?
