redirecting to main page

[vips]

I am working on asp.net application
what should I do so that if any user directly types the url other than
"mainpage.aspx" of my application, he should be directed to
"mainpage.aspx".
I am managing user access by enabling and disabling the links on the web
page depending on the user.

cheers

You should look into the <authorization> element in web.config -- this allows
you to specify who is and isn't allowed to see certain pages and it automatically
redirects the user to a login page (or any page you specify) if they're not
authorized:

[url]http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpgenref/html/gngrfauthorizationsection.asp[/url]

And here's a way more in depth look:

The docs cover that. Also, the second link I gave you should give you more
insights. But yes, windows authentication is supported and it does allow
you to specify the windows groups.
