newbie: security & themes!

Hey

asp.net 2.0

I have a webpage which get it's layout data from a theme. Using the theme
works without problem until I added these settings to the web.config file:
<authorization>
<deny users="?"/>
</authorization>

With this new settings in web.config the theme isn't applied to the page!

I've only tested this for unauthenticated users

Top-most script in Default.aspx file:
<%@dotnet.itags.org. Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/MainMaster.master"
AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="_Default"
Title="Untitled Page" Theme="Standard" %>

What should I do make the theme work with the newly applied web.config
settings?

JeffHi,
This is a strange problem, does your theme use Css or reference other images,
if so you need to allow access to these Css and image files for everyone,
for example i have two folder Css and Images where i store my css and other
images used in the site graphics i have to add these lines to the web.config
to allow access to these folders
<location path="images">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="*"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
<location path="Css">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="*"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>

May be this will resolve your problem.

Regards,
Mohamed Mosalem

Hello Mohamed, thank you for replying to this post!

Yes, this theme is using css, but the .css file is in the theme folder:
App_Themes\Standard\Default.css

This css file is referencing a image file which is placed in the same folder
as the Default.css file

Should I use this script then:
</location>
<location path="App_Themes\Standard\">
<system.web>

Any suggestions? maybe I instead should use a .skin file?

Jeff

Hi Jeff,
Of course you need the skin file, this file determines the styles and
properties that will be applied to the server controls
