q; redirect to login.aspx

[JIM.H.]

I have a login.aspx in my application and I need to make sure all the users
go though this page even if they click other apsx files in the project
login.aspx should show up. How can I do this?

If using FormsAuthentication, then use the logingUrl in your web.config
like so:

<forms name=".FormsAuth" loginUrl="path/to/login.aspx" />

hope that helps!

hi Jim,
use Forms Authentication on your web site. any users will then be directed
here to login before they can access any .Net resources in your project.
look up the SDK for more info on using Forms Auth.

if you really didn't want to use forms authentication for some reason, then
you could intercept the Application_BeginRequest method in global.asax and
check for some criteria (set by you) which would indicate if the user is
allowed to enter the site.

i hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply, I probably need an example.

hi Jim.
read this MSDN article on using authentication. you'd be mad to just put in
some web.config values without having a basic understanding of Asp.Net
security. it's all explained here:
