Having successfully set up Forms authentication for an ASP.Net application 

I want to specifically exclude two pages from the security redirection so 

that they can be browsed by potential new customers, in that way they can 

read about the site before registering.



Can anyone tell me how to achieve this.

Hi Bob,



You can accomplish this simply by *not* requiring authorization on those

pages -- and instead allowing any user to hit it.  You can control this

within your application's web.config file.



For example:



<configuration>



   <!-- By default deny anonymous access to all pages -->



   <system.web>

       <authorization>

          <deny users=3D"?"/>

       </authorization>

   </system.web>



   <!-- Override to allow everyone to access the below two pages -->  



   <location path=3D"Default.aspx">



       <system.web>

          <authorization>

             <allow users=3D"*"/>

          </authorization>

       </system.web>



   </location>



   <location path=3D"PublicPage.aspx">



       <system.web>

          <authorization>

             <allow users=3D"*"/>

          </authorization>

       </system.web>



   </location>



</configuration>



Hope this helps,



Scott
