setting up web.config...

[RAB]

I am designing an application. I have 5 web pages. Page1.aspx,
Page2.aspx, Page3.aspx, Page4.aspx and Login.aspx

I want any user to freely be able to navigate between Page1.aspx and
Page2.aspx

However, I only want users who submit a valid username and password on
Login.aspx to be able to navigate to Page3.aspx and Page4.aspx

How do I set up my web.config file in order to have this functionality?

Thanks,
RABMissouri

You can :

1. Assign your users to a role and limit access with <location path=...> in web.config.

2. Place the protected files in a subdirectory,
and control access with <location path=...> in web.config.

3. You can also setup security per-page :

<location path="some.aspx">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="?" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>

Put page3 and page4 in a subdirectory then put form authentication on that
dir.
