| Hi Andrew,
|
| Welcome to ASPNET newsgroup.
| From your description, you have a certain pdf file which need to be
exposed
| to client users through asp.net web page. And you also need to protect
the
| pdf file from being accessed by unauthenticated users, yes?
|
| If so, I think we can just put the user login UI on the web page so let
the
| user input username password and in the submit button's postback event,
do
| the user validation. If the user is a valid user, we just retrieve the
PDF
| file's binary stream and write it out to the page's response stream.
|
| We can store the PDF file on physical dir as a pdf file or in database.
| Anyway, it's better not to put the file in web application's virtual dir
so
| as to prevent it be browsed by unexpected users. Here is a kb article
| mentioned streaming out binary file (on disk) to asp.net page's resposne.
|

| | I have a single web page and associated PDF that I need to protect
within
| a
| | larger web site. What is the easiest way to do that. Go gain access,
| users
| | will go to a page and enter a password. This is for a promotion that we
| are
| | doing and I don't need to assign or track usernames. Everyone uses the
| same
| | password that is supplied via a usps mailing.
| |
| | I can place the page and PDF in a sub directory if that helps.
