Hi All

I have a application on which i want to stop the users to navigate to admin pages which they can access by giving direct url. can any body please to help me.

i already tried the code

XML

<authentication mode="Forms">
      <forms loginUrl="~/default.aspx" defaultUrl="~/default.aspx"></forms>
    </authentication>

XML

<location path="Admin_Pages">
    <system.web>
      <authorization>
        <allow users="admin_Pages"/>
        <deny users="*"/>
      </authorization>
    </system.web>
  </location>

in web config file.
But now the actual users also can not logon. after clicking login button they are redirecting the default page.

You login url should be your login page not default page

XML

<authentication mode="Forms">
      <forms loginUrl="~/login.aspx" defaultUrl="~/login.aspx"></forms>
    </authentication>

Solution 3

use session at the time of login.
and after logout or Close the window clear the session.
and at page_load event check session. if session is null then redirect to the login pagae.
