Excluding certain files from forms authentication

[Paul Cook]

Hi

I have a website which uses forms based authentication. However, I
need to exclude a file from authentication so that all users can view
it. How?

Thanks, Paul.

first, remember that forms authentication will not protect a file from being
viwed by users. if they get the full URL to the file (and the file is not an
aspx or html one...) they can view it by entering the URL on the address bar
of the browser. if you want to avoid this, you should use windows
authentication.
to protect a specific location, i used these configuration for the
web.config. use one <location> for each URL you want to protect.

<system.web>
