Re: Bypassing authentication

As I said, no tilde. ;-)

allow="?" means just that allow unauthenticated users to access the page
(not sure if that makes difference here, but that depends on how you users
are accessing it). allow="*" means that all are allowed.

This worked (below). Note the * and no ~.

<location path="FolderA/FolderB/a.asmx">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="*"></allow>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>

Try without tilde (~ ) in path attribute

Here's docs about <location> element:

In web.config with <location> element

<configuration>
<location path="exclude.aspx">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="?"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>

<! -- Normal config goes here as before -->
<system.web>

</system.web>
</configuration>

Hi

I have established form authentication so every page on the site send
the access to a specific login page. I need however to bypass the
authentication for my web service page to allow it to be accessed
without login. How can I selectively exclude a page from form
authentication?

Thanks

Regards
