Questionallow & deny Pin
Brendan Vogt5-Sep-06 3:19

Hi,

I'm getting confused at to what the ? and * mean in the web.config file.

For example:

<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow roles="administrators" />
<deny users="*" />
</authorization>
</system.web>

I know it allows only members with an administrators role, but what would happen if I were to change the * to a ?

Lets say I have a backend admin section, so I put a web.config file in the /admin/ folder with the above configuration, so it doesn't matter what page is being opened, it will take you to a login screen if you are not in this role. But what if I have a .aspx page that I want to display to the user when he/she signs off, like a SignOff.aspx page. If this page signs of a user then it redirects back to the login page, with the return url pointing back to the Signoff.aspx page.

I hope some one can help me in my confusuion.

Regards
ma se
