Authentication of legacy .asp pages via ASP.NET Forms

Hi Everyone,

Is it possible to somehow configure the .NET application to handle
authentication events for .asp net resources, but pass actual processing to
legacy asp engine?

My use case is

1. I have legacy ASP application with plenty of pages. It will take about 1
week to port them to .aspx/VB7 engine + same time for QA ... with no 100%
guarantee everything functionally stays the same
2. I have parent ASP .NET 2.0 application with ASP.NET Forms Authentication
implemented
3. In general I see only 2 choices
a) leave former ASP application unsecured
b) redevelop it for ASP.NET
I'm looking for the way to configure ASP.NET application to delegate the
processing of the resource to another engine (e.g.
C:\WINXP\system 32\inetsrv\asp. dll) after request was authenticated.

Something like following for *.htm files but with another yet unknown to me
handler
<httpHandlers >
<add path="*.htm" verb="*" type="System.We b.StaticFileHan dler"
validate="true" />
</httpHandlers>

Regards, Sergey.

I have a website which has both secure and non-secure pages. I want to uses forms authentication. How do I accomplish this?

One named Secure and the other named Public. I placed my web.config file in my

Hi, I've created a little site for my sports club. In the root folder there are pages that are viewable by every anonymous user but at a certain subfolder my administration pages should be protected by forms authentication. When I create forms authentication at root level it works but when I move my code up to the subfolder I get this error: Server Error in '/TestProjects/FormsAuthenticationTestingArea' Application.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
