Using Forms Authentication, users can't get to my .aspx pages but they can
get directly to, for example, Setup.exe.
What setting can I use to protect ALL files within my app from hackers until
they login?
My web.config currently looks like this:
<authenticati on mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="frmLo gin.aspx" />
</authentication>
<authorizatio n>
<deny users="?" />
</authorization>
Thanks!

Hi Ron, some options.
Use NT authentication instead.
Or tell your web server not to serve EXE files.
Put items you don't want served in another folder. This can be a
subfolder in your app, just ensure that your web account doesn't have
access to that folder.
Also (someone remind me) can you configure individual page loading
options in the Global.asax? I know you can config for application and
session start and ends, what about pages as well?

Put all the files you don't want the users to be able to access in a
folder and allow only logged on users to access that folder.
Thanks!

Just normal folder security. Remove the IUSR_xxxxx account from having
access to the folder with the files you want to protect.

Folks:
I have some zip files I'd like to serve to authenticated users on my
site, but would like to prevent unauthorized users from using an
absolute path to get to these zip files. For example
http://blah.com/file.zip should not be accessible directly without
authenticating. However, my current authenticaion goes to an LDAP
server and I'd rather not prompt users for another username and
password.
