Access Restriction

[sammy]

I am trying to restrict access using ASP.NET configuration system. But I am puzzled about whether this will restrict access of ASP.NET files alone or restrict access of non-ASP.NET files also or otherwise would restrict access of both ASP.NET files and non-ASP.NET files.

If you use ASP.NET configuration system to restrict access then it will restrict only ASP.NET files. This is because the scope of ASP.NET configuration system works only within the area of to ASP.NET resources. To explain you in brief with an example if you are trying to use cookie Authentication then it would generally restrict access only in the area of ASP.NET files. The other files will not be restricted unless the other files are mapped in some way to these ASP.NET files.
