I am new to umbraco and I don't know how to authenticate a user once he log in to application. So can you please tell us how to authenticate users and how to restrict few sections of web site from unauthorised users?
Let's clarify a few things first umbraco uses two different concepts:
- users are people that have access to the admin backend and can create/update/delete new content/media. For each of these users, the admin can restrict access to certain sections of the backend
- members are people that can register and authenticate on the frontend website. It's also possible to restrict certain parts of the website from unauthorized access.
For the first, use the 'Users' section in the admin backend to administer those users and to restrict access to parts of the website. For those users, you may even set a start node for the 'Content' and 'Media' section if required.
For the latter, you'd most likely use the standard .net membership controls to create registration/authentication forms. If you wish to restrict access to certain parts of the website for members, right click the node in the 'Content' section that needs protection and either use simple protection (based on a username/password) or use protection based on roles.
Feel free to ask more questions when moving along.
