RE: Web Deployment Project location/Authorization replacement

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Hi,

During "Test" the Role Test is authorized for the sub directory.
During "Release" the test role is not authorized in the sub directory.

Is my understanding correct that you're using membership and roles in your
Web Application, when you test your project in Visual Studio the
authorization works properly. However, after publishing to IIS it doesn't
work?

If so do you get any exceptions?

I did a test. By adding the following web.config in a sub directory the
authorization works fine (both in debug and product scenario). If role1
want to access the resources it'll be denied.

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<configuration>
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow roles="role2" />
<deny roles="role1" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
</configuration>

Is there a good way to change what roles are authorized in a sub directory
with a web deployment project configuration.

If you've published your site to IIS, you can open the Web Site in Visual
Studio. Then click "WebSite" (on the menu bar of Visual Studio)->"ASP.NET
Configuration". After that, a administration page will be opened. You can
config settings there. By clicking "Security" tab you can simply change the
Access Rules settings following the instruction on the page.

Please let me know if it can solve this issue and feel free to ask if you
have additional questions.
