I'm trying to secure a PDF file with DNN role based security.  I've created a secure folder in DNN File Manager and have created a page with role based security (Admins only in this case) linking to the file (Page Management-->Other Settings-->Link URL set as "File"). That works fine and dandy but the link that it creates (http://dev/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=XsEILL5tdO0%3d&tabid=438) still allows unauthenticated users to see the page. How can I secure this thing?

Linkclick alwasys checks for folder security, specified in Admin :: File manager, for the directory, where the file is located.

Direct links using relative URLs will work as long as you don't use "Secure Folders" to store your files inside.
