My Config File sttings are :
protection="All" enableCrossAppRedirects="false" slidingExpiration="true"
Thanks,

You can put all admin accessible pages in one folder and give folder level security to allow only user's in admin role to brose through the pages. And put all the pages to be accessible by users in client role in another folder, with accessible role to be client as well as admin.
You need to implement role based authorization as per below
<location path=”Admin”>
<authorization>
<allow roles=”Admin” />
<deny users=”*” />
<deny roles=”*” />
</authorization>
</location>
<location path=”Members”>
<authorization>
<allow roles=”Members” />
<deny users=”*” />
<deny roles=”*” />
</authorization>
</location>
Please refer this nice article for more details

I have an app with two pages: pagein.aspx and pageout.aspx. Pagein.aspx must be accessible ONLY to intranet users of my company, but pageout.aspx must be accessible to extranet users (world). My last option is to use the authorization (user and password), but I prefer to use the logic I described. Is this possible in asp.net? If yes, how?
You can do this via web.config
<location path="Pagein.aspx">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="*" allow role="YourDomain\Domain Users" />
<deny users="*" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
<location path="PageOut.aspx">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="*" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
The simpler solution is to have two websites (two virtual directories), in one enable windows authentication: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff647405.aspx
In the other, use ASP.NET membership, or leave it public and accessible by anonymous users.
If you need both in the same application, then use the various authorization techniques to require authorization for some pages and leave other pages open to the public.
I am working on Asp.net Application where I have 4 roles in my application. 1. Admin 2. User 3. Reseller 4. Affiliate. And I am Using Form Authentication for this everything was working fine for single role(User). But now i have 4 roles and I am not getting how to manage this. I have 4 folders for different Users.
If i login with reseller account and if i change the url for user then its allowing me to access user part also. But i don't want this. I need in my app that user can access only his access area. Means If your reseller logged in then he can only access reseller pages or same folder nothing else.
Please help me to find this solution.
You can use the web.config to set the permission or you can also get more granular and decorate the class or method you want to lock down like this:
[PrincipalPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.Demand, Role = #"Administrators")]
All of this is part of the role manager that you can set up. Start by reading this article that explains what to do.
There's two things to look at here. First of all, restricting access to each folder by role ought to be straightforward enough if you use <location> elements in your web.config e.g.
<location path="Resellers">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow roles="Reseller"/>
<deny roles="*"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
<location path="Users">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow roles="User"/>
<deny roles="*"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
...
Also in your individual pages, you can call the IsUserInRole function to check whether your user is in the correct role to access the page.
You might want to get hold of a copy of Beginning ASP.NET Security, it's got great information on how to do this.
You need to set the appropriate authentication settings in a web.config file for each folder you are restricting access to, i.e.
<authorization>
<deny users="?" />
<allow roles="Administrators" />
<deny users="*" />
</authorization>
Will allow access only to validated users with the role of "Administrators".
In each of the folders you have to place a web.config file that restricts access to the role in question. For example, in the resellers folder you have a web.config containing:
<authorization>
<deny users="*"/>
<allow roles="Resellers"/>
</authorization>
And so on for the other folders.
use like below code:
<location path="Users">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow roles="Users"/>
<deny users="*"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
I am a beginner of asp.net..I currently have a login page with forgot password link button on the bottom of the screen. I am also using forms authentication to prevent an unauthorized user from accessing the other pages. The authentication seems to be working fine except for one thing. It prevents the user from accessing the password recovery page once the user click on the link button. How do I allow all users access to the login/password pages and also prevent them from viewing the other pages if they are not authenticated?
The code below is to prevent from other anonymous view other pages without access. But i got no idea on how to allow them to access password recovery page...
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="/Presentation/Display/Login.aspx" name=".ASPNETAUTH" protection="All" path="/" timeout="120" cookieless="UseDeviceProfile" slidingExpiration="true"/>
</authentication>
<!-- This section denies access to all files in this application except for those that you have not explicitly specified by using another setting. -->
<authorization>
<deny users="?"/>
</authorization>
You need to use the <location> element to apply settings to a specific path, then add an <allow /> for non-logged-in users.
For example:
<location path="PasswordRecovery.aspx">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="?" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
<location path="Presentation/Display/PasswordRecovery.aspx">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="?"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
This allows anonymous users to view your password recovery page. You might want to do the same for the directory where your CSS and/or image resources are stored, in case they are required by your login page and/or your recovery page.
Use Location:
<location path="passwordrecovery.aspx">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="*"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
I just start to learn web programming using IIS 7.5 in windows 2008 R2, and ASP.Net 4.
I notice that both IIS and ASP.Net can define Authentication rules. In IIS, there is a form authentication setting where I can redirect user to specified page for authentication, like below:
And then, in ASP web.config file, I find similar settings:
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="~/Account/Login.aspx" timeout="2880" />
</authentication>
When I finish both settings, I assume any page request will be redirect to the login.aspx page. But it didn't. So I am confused. How do the 2 sets of configs work together? And why page request is not redirected?
Thanks
Update
Finally I get it working and I think I understand it now. My website structure is like below:
It is about modifying Autherization rules. Deny all unauthorized users for root:
<authorization>
<deny users="?" />
</authorization>
CSS files should be allowed for all users, so I have Styles\web.config:
<authorization>
<allow users="*" />
</authorization>
and only allow unauthorized users to access register.aspx, so I have Account\web.config:
<location path="Register.aspx">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="*"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
<system.web>
<authorization>
<deny users="?"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
There's another component you need to configure: authorization. If you don't, unauthorized users have access to all pages and will not be redirected to the login page. For example:
<authorization>
<deny users="?" />
</authorization>
This specifies that all unauthenticated users are denied access to pages in your application. The authorization element is part of the system.web configuration section.
When you set something in IIS with authentication ( in your case form authentication). It also change your mapped project webconfig file with the same settings. That's why you see same information in both modules.
Can I use <authorization> to protect webforms from being accessed if a person does not have a specific role?
I tried this:
<authentication mode="windows" />
<authorization>
<allow roles="Admin" />
<deny users="*" />
</authorization>
but if the role Admin is not available then I can still visit the page by typing in the URL. How can I protect this page?
I read the documentation on MSDN (ASP.NET Authorization).
I also put the UrlAuthorizeModule extra in the web.config to make sure that it gets hit.
Best to read this: ASP.NET Authorization
It explains how to set the allow/deny elements for users and roles.
