Web.config Combining authorization rules

Question

I have the following authorization rules in my web.config:

<location path="Register.aspx">
        <system.web>
            <authorization>
                <allow users="*"/>
            </authorization>
        </system.web>
    </location>
    <location path="ForgotCredentials.aspx">
        <system.web>
            <authorization>
                <allow users="*"/>
            </authorization>
        </system.web>
    </location>

Except for the path attribute these two rules are the same. Is there a way to combine these two rules into one like path = Register.aspx, ForgotCredentials.aspx.

Answer 1

As far as I know, there is no way. You have to specify multiple location elements unfortunately.

Answer 2

The only way would be to place them in a common folder which held the rules for all sub-files.

Answer 3

No, you can't. That path property just accepts one file/directory at time.

Also consider this documents:

• <location> path attribute in web.config doesn't accept multiple paths
• location Element (ASP.NET Settings Schema)
