Re: Role based security - file downloads

IIS is handling the mapping so you need to change the behaviour there. One way to do this is in IIS map the .PDF to the ASP.Net handler then make sure PDFs are processed as static files by the ASP runtime,

take for the use to be redirected to the login page when they try to
access mysite/private/secrets.pdf ?
