    web.config <location>-section and ActiveDirectoryRoleProvider

    Hi all,

    I've written an ActiveDirectoryRoleProvider for Umbraco; which implements GetRolesForUser and IsUserInRole. Added to web.config, the provider works fine, while loggin in into Umbraco backend. When a user is not in the allowed role, he can not log in.

    Now I want to set access restrictions via webconfig, like this:

    ...
    </system.web>
    <
    location path="file.aspx">
    <system.web>
    <authorization>
    <allow roles="specialGroup" />
    <deny users="*" />
    </authorization>
    </system.web>
    </location>

    Unfortunately this does not work. Even when the user is in the right role, I'll get a permission denied message when opening the location.

    My questiens:

    # Who processes the location section? Umbraco? Does anybody know, where in code?

    # Any hints, what I could do, to get this work? Or did I have forgotten something?

    I hope my english is adeqaute, so that you can understand, what I'm meaning.

    Thanks in advance,

    Greg
