 Hi everyone,

I use on my DNN website both the DNN Authentication and Windows Authentication. Windows Aut is used just for a part of the website (administration) which is a module and several "external -> not DNN" aspx pages. This module has it's own DNN page which is visible to everyone but is set in IIS to be visible just for windows authenticated users. When i'm accesing the page via the complete URL (www.mydomain.com/DesktopModules/ ..etc) it requests the username and password -> ok BUT when I access the page from DNN (www.mydomain.com/tabid/100/Default.aspx) it requests the username and password but if I click "cancel" a few times the page and the module are displayed!

I see this as a bug 'cause DNN should check if the user has the right permission. Is there a workaround or somenthing like this?

thanks

Victor

 

P.S: i do not use the dnn aut for administration part for 2 reasons: 1. this cannot protect the external pages; 2. the control panel with Edit/View Mode is annoying.

you cannot  protect specific dnn "pages" using windows authentication, simply because there is only one DNN page: default.aspx. In order to protect content with windows authentication you would have to protect the full application.

It is a bug alright, but it is a bug in your reasoning :) The proper workaround would be to create a proper admin module and to not rely on windows authentication.

(btw: you can use dnn authentication to protect your external aspx files, you can alsways check if a user is an admin user or not. ALL aspx end points in the application will be authenticated by dnn authentication and you will have a user available in the code behind of the aspx page. )
