Hi,

I have locked down the user until he login's into the application he can't access any other URL. But now i'm unable to even open up my sign up page due to that authentication. I have tried down the <location> tag in web.config for SignUp but its not working. Please suggest some solution.

HTML

<location path="">
    <system.web>
      <authorization>
        <deny users="?" />
      </authorization>
    </system.web>
  </location>

  <location path="~/SignUp">
    <system.web>
      <authentication mode="Forms">
        <forms loginUrl="~/SignUp" timeout="20"/>
      </authentication>
      <authorization>
        <deny users="?"/>
        <allow users="*"/>
      </authorization>
    </system.web>
  </location>
  
  <system.web>
    <httpRuntime targetFramework="4.5" />
    <compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.5" />
    <authentication mode="Forms">
      <forms path="/" loginUrl="~/Login" timeout="2880" />
    </authentication>
<system.web>

This is what i'm doing currently in my web.config<

remove location path=""
Try this

XML

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

<system.web>
    <httpRuntime targetFramework="4.5" />
    <compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.5" />
    <authentication mode="Forms">
      <forms loginUrl="Login.aspx" timeout="2880" />
    </authentication>
   <authorization>
      <deny users="?" />
    </authorization>
<system.web>

I assume you have a Signup folder under the main folder and a login.aspx page in the main folder

Hi,

Thanks for the help ... yes i do have but i don't want the user to move to any other page that's why i can't remove that location tag ... else user can directly change the URL and access other pages without any authentication

Your signup page is in a separate folder or in the main folder?
Can u please explain your folder structure
