Hi sir ,

I am developing a web application using dnn 4.9 , i added a folder to my portal root which contains  .aspx pages  which will  be dispalyed in Iframe moduls

i want certain users and roles to access this folder  so i added a location section  in the web.config file as the following :

<location path="portals/0/(folder name)">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="(user name)"/>
<allow roles="(user name)"/>
<deny users="(role name)"/>
<deny roles="(role name)"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>

the problem is that  allow users and deny users elements works well but allow roles and deny roles elements donot work at all

so can you help me please ????

thank you Mitchel for reply
So  there is no way to go around this

ok now i will explain to you  my problem
the .aspx pages which i added to the folder will be displayed in iframe moduls, these pages must be viewed by certain users and roles , the problem is that if someone (like a hacker) knows the path of any of these pages he can browse them directly as a normal web page and not under dotnetnuke context or if he right click the iframe module he can also get the path of the page and browse it in the same way
the big problem is that the secuirty model of dotnetnuke works only with  pages which are saved in the database and not with static pages which i add to my web application

so i want to ensure that whenever someone browses any page in my web site ,he is doing that under the dotnetnuke context and preventing him from browsing the page directly by redirecting him to the home page or to an error page

i hope that everything is clear now

so how can i do that

 I can't think of any way that IFrame can help in achieving your goal - any parameter that will be passed using IFrame will be in a plain view.

You might want to look into using DotNetNuke authentication - may be you can include your pages within the website and extend some page from CDefault class - in either case, start looking at Authentication and Configuration forums. IFrame isn't your tool ...
