I have created a website which contains more than 10 pages.Here one page will do some kind of extraction of data and create pdf files.This should happen on daily basis at midnight.
I have written the code in pageload of one page (say job.aspx) so when i run this page this process will happen(ie creating pdf).
So i scheduled one job in my windows scheduler to run this url(So that it will create pdf) But the problem here is when the scheduler open this page by job it will ask for credentials since its a NTLM authentication in IIS.

So i don't want this page to check for authentication, (other pages should do)

Any idea ?

All you need to do is use the location tag in Web.config to override the authentication for that one file.

There is a good article at http://weblogs.asp.net/gurusarkar/setting-authorization-rules-for-a-particular-page-or-folder-in-web-config[^] to help explain it.

You can either make the authentication change in IIS or use web.config. Either way.

I tried but i got this error,
Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.

Parser Error Message: It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level. This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS.

You'll have to follow what it suggests. Besides what it suggests, there are many other reasons you can get that, for example having a web.config in a subfolder.

How ???Please tell

How what? The error says you have a web.config somewhere in a regular folder, not in a folder that is marked as an application in IIS.

Hi.,

You should not use webpage for scheduling tasks. You could write a console application and schedule using windows task scheduler.

or

Write a windows service and install it in the server.

All the above will support to create pdf, update db, etc...
