Hi friends,

I suddenly stuck up today will any one help me out. The problem is like this.


I have a site in asp.net where to view pages login is required. I've used form authentication to solve this problem. Now after these pages are called they have links to pdf documents. these pdf documents are visible only if the user is a subscriber to this document.But once the URL is known, any body can know the directly access the pdf documents. Can it be possible with form authentication so that whenever the URL path to the pdf document is entered directly, the user is redirected to Login page.Also how could we distinguish that this user is a subscribed user or guest user and which of document he is allowed to see.


Thank You

You could just save the PDF document into a database and then when a user requests X document, make a call to the database and push the binary stream down to the user.

Can you categorize the users and PDF documents into distinct groups?
If so, you could create a separate subfolder for each group of PDF’s and assign specific user permissions for the sub directories.

Here’s a link that may explain things better: User Authorization in Sub-Directories: http://www.dotnetcoders.com/web/Arti...px?article=186
