ASP.NET authorization and NTFS

Dear All,

I'm facing a strange problem, I've an ASP.NET web application that contains
an admin folder, in this folder the access should be restricted to specific
users, as i'm using windows authentication and using impersonation
(<identity impersonate="tr ue" />) i've applied NTFS permissions over the
admin folder, but all users still access the files within this folder!!,
when the users type the folder (http://testapp/admin) only they get the
username and password dialog , but if they typed
(http://testapp/admin/admin.aspx) they get the page properly. ?!

This web server also have SPS2003 installed.

Please advise.

Regards,
Mohamed

Mohamed,

When you restricted the NTFS permissions on the folder, did you propagate
the new permissions to the existing files in the folder? If not, the
behaviour you are seeing is probably to be expected.

Hi. I would like to confirm a behaviour in the authorization element from the web.config file. Suppose the following (using Forms authentication): <authorization> <deny users="?" /> <deny users="User1" /> <allow users="User1" /> </authorization>

I've implemented forms authentication and authorization on my application. In my Web.Config, my authorization section looks like this.. <authorization> <allow roles="admin" /> <deny users="*" /> </authorization> If an authenticated user, who is NOT designated the role "admin" attempts to access this folder, he/she is simply redirected to the login page.

I am starting to think there is some kind of conspiracy :) but everywhere I try to locate some (working) code showing how to change NTFS partitions on a network share I end up at a dead end.

I am trying to set up an intranet at work that will use our Active directory to authorize our users. We also want them to access the site from the outside (such as at home) and also be authenticated by our Active Directory. We don't want to set up a separate Sql setup. I tried to set up my Web.config file like so: ********************************************************** <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
