Protecting the folders using SimpleMembership in Asp.Net MVC 4

Question

I am using SimpleMembership Provider in my ASP.NET MVC 4 project. Why the following code in web.config doesn't protect the content of the folder for unauthorized users?

<location path="Content/documents">
    <system.web>
      <authorization>
        <deny users="?" />
      </authorization>
    </system.web>
</location>

did you ever figure out how to do this? – JustMaier Mar 11 '13 at 16:39 — JustMaier, Mar 11 '13 at 16:39

It should work, check if the path is set correctly, maybe you have other web configs and the path is not correct for the most inner one.

What you should also try is to use the asp.net configuration. Click on the project and then from the > menu -> project -> asp.net configuration -> security ->create access rules

. From here you can handle it yourself.

I want to use SimpleMembership Provider, not the ASP.NET Membership system. – arlen Nov 27 '12 at 19:23
