Require login prior to viewing products?

[jaylichtman]

Hello,

Is it possible to require a user to login (or register) before they see any products? In other words, a user may visit the site but they first thing they have to do is login or register.

Thanks,
Jay

You can probably do this with some changes to the web.config file and the authorization element.

Open the /web.config file and look for this line:

Code: Select all

	<system.web>

Try adding some stuff around it:

Code: Select all

	<location path="Captcha.ashx">
		<system.web>
			<authorization>
				<allow users="*" />
			</authorization>
		</system.web>
	</location>	
	<system.web>
		<authorization>
			<deny users="?"/>
		</authorization>

Basically it says no anonymous users can access anything (except the captcha script).

Logan,

I'll give that a shot this week and post the results.

Thanks,

Logan,

That appears to work perfectly - thank you very much.
