    Restrict users from accessing media files using direct links

    Hi All,

    We have a restricted page which requires login/Authentication to access it. On this page we have links to media/pdf files which should be accessed only after authentication but if user has direct links to this files, he/she can access them directly without login.

    I want to restrict some user groups from accessing some of media/pdf files without login/authentication.

    I have searched on forum and not able to find any similar supporting functionality within Umbraco. There are some paid packages which provides similar functionality but I am looking for free resources.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hi Ritesh,

    Something that I looked at doing was replacing all media links with an alternative. This alternative passed through a custom controller that, if the user isn't authenticated, prevents access (redirect to a login or shows a "You' don't have access" message). Unfortunately, I don't have any readily accessible samples for it as it requires a few modifications at various points but that could be an option for you :-)

    Thanks,

    Nik
