Re: Forms Authentication - Supress displaying the login page for certain web pages

Thanks for Dominick's informative suggestion.

Hi Felix,

As Dominick has suggested, you can use the <location> element to grant
specific <authorization> setting for individual pages or directories in the
ASP.NET web application.

#How to: Configure Specific Directories Using Location Settings
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178692.aspx

For example, the following configuration sections customize the application
to allow anomymous(unauthenticated) user to access the "ContactUS.aspx"
page and the "PublicUsers" sub directory under the application root dir:

==============================

<configuration >

<location path="ContactUS.aspx">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="*"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>

<location path="PublicUsers">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="*"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
....................
==============================

If there is anything unclear or any other information you need, please feel
free to post here.

Sincerely,

Steven Cheng

Note: The MSDN Managed Newsgroup support offering is for non-urgent issues
where an initial

response from the community or a Microsoft Support Engineer within 1
business day is

acceptable. Please note that each follow up response may take approximately
2 business days

as the support professional working with you may need further investigation
to reach the

most efficient resolution. The offering is not appropriate for situations
that require

urgent, real-time or phone-based interactions or complex project analysis
and dump analysis

issues. Issues of this nature are best handled working with a dedicated
Microsoft Support

Engineer by contacting Microsoft Customer Support Services (CSS) at
