Authentication

Hi

So far my application simply requests a user name and password, if user name
and pass match an entry in the database then the page is loaded.
------> FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(txtUserN ame.Text, false);

For some pages I want to check for a permission level, what is the best way?
I am thinking I need to some how identify pages that require higher
permission levels to the Login.aspx, then Login.aspx can check for a bit
being set in DB or something?

I could use session vars, but was wondering if there is a mechanism built
into .Net?

Any comments welcomed.

Thanks

Luke

You can use a tinyint (0-255), and assign varying permission levels. Storing in session is always a good option.

It is always a good idea to check on each page if the user is authentic and
has not just jumped into the middle of the web application (depending on
the application, of course).

Looks like you are asking for page level authorization.

You can write an Http module to handle authorization instead.
