Password protected folders

Hello,

I am looking for a way to restrict access to certain folders on a website to authorised users (there could be up to 100 or so) Some hosts have this capability 'built-in', but I cannot see it at DiscountASP.NET - I might not be looking in the right places!

Ideally, I'd like the user information to be retained in an Access database (at least initially).

I'd appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction.

TIA,

ChrisN

 

Can you give some more details ? folders can be protected in the control panel using the permission manager, however you have only a limited number of (windows)users. A second way for the configuration authorisation set in your web.config file, if security is only needed for your webapplication.

Hi Steurm,


Thanks for the reply.


The application will be accessed byfour or five different groups of users. The way I'm thinking at the moment is that the pages relevant to each group will be held in different folders, and users within each group will be restricted to browsing pages within the relevant folder. There will also be a folder of pages accessible to all users as well as a folder for public accessible materials.


Hope this outline helps.
