Authentication ?

Muhammad Waqas Butt

Hi, I'm developing a testing web and want to run it on my local intranet. I've used asp.net 1.1 and sql server database 2000, now problem is that i have a directory named as "Admin" in which i've all the admin pages. I want that no other user can access this directory pages except Admin. Can anybody tell how and should i do in asp.net and sql server?

set the location tag in the web.config for the corresponding folder... something like this....

location path="Admin"
        system.web
            authorization
                allow roles="Administrators" 
                deny users="*"
            authorization
        system.web
location

to secure the pages within a folder in an intranet application that is the way you should have the web.config file settings. so that It will allow only the user's those who are under that particular role. what is the need for Code and database table structure? Could you please be more specific?
