Secure Image

Secure Image  In this post we will secure image /files  from being accessed by anonymous users.
In ASP.net 2.0 web.config  we will add 6 lines of code.
 Scenario: I have stored all images in images folder found at the root. I will add below web.config file to my images folder.
It will let the users who are in role Editor of  site to access and it will ban anonymous users . 
 
 <?xml version="1.0"?> 
    <configuration>
    <appSettings/>
    <connectionStrings/>
      <system.web>
            <authorization>
                  <deny users="?"/>
                  <allow roles="Editor"/>
            </authorization>
      </system.web>
   </configuration> 

Eventually, whatever you store inside the images folder will not be accesible to users who are not in role Editor.
