Anonymous access to Application page

Question

Hi All,

I added an application page to one of my sharepoint projects. And inherited from unsecuredlayoutspagebase.

But I am not able to get anonymmous access to that page.  It still prompts for user name and password .

Can anyone point me to right direction.

 

Thanks

Julie

Answer 1

Hi Julie,

you need to add to your web.config:

<location path="<strong>_layouts/pathtoyourapplicationpage/yourapplicationpage.aspx</strong>">
  <system.web>
   <authorization>
    <allow users="*" />
   </authorization>
  </system.web>
 </location>

You will allready find another entry for _layouts/images in your web.config. <allow users="*"> Define that ever user has access even if not authorized and.
There is a good knowledgebase article which describe this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316871

Hi Julie

 

you need to override the AllowAnonymousAccess property and return true see the following code\

protected override bool AllowAnonymousAccess 
{     
 get
 {        
   return true;      
  }  
}

Good Luck
