Accessing images in a protected directory from an unprotected directory

9/8/2005 4:06:51 PM

Hi Folks,

I've got an asp.net app that I've updated to VS 2005 beta 2.

In my .Net 1.1 version, I stored images in a directory (called 'images') in a sub-directory (called 'app') that was protected with forms authentication.

I had a parent directory that was *not* protected with authentication. Pages in that parent directory (which was unprotected) pulled images from the protected images folder, and it worked just fine.

Now, however, in 2005 I'm finding that the pages in the parent directory (that is, the unprotected directory) are not able to access images in the protected directory--it just doesn't pull them in.

In 1.1, my understanding was that only aspx and ascx files were protected, and that everything else was accessible. Has that changed with 2005?

Thanks!

Art,

From your post - this seems to be your directory structure

Root
- app
-images

Did you protect the app folder using location tags in your app's web.config or by adding the authorization section to a config under the app folder. Irrespective of that files not mapped to serve via the aspnet_isapi should not undergo authentication. Can you check the script mapping for your site and verify that *.* is not mapped to the aspnet isapi. I tried the scenario above and I am able to see the images being served correctly when browsing to pages from an unprotected folder where the image resides under a folder which has been protected using forms auth.

Thanks,
Kashif

Kashif,

I need to do the opposite behavior.

If a user knows the exact url for an image, he/she can view it.

How can I get *.* (my images and documents in subfolders) and not only aspx to be protected as well?
Can this be done programmatically or through web.config in case you don't have access to IIS?

Thanks
