Over the past few months I've been writing a series of ASP.NET security tutorials for the www.asp.net site, much like my Working with Data tutorial series. This tutorial series focuses specifically on forms authentication, authorization, Membership, and Roles (using the SQL Server providers).
Today, the first three tutorials have been published:
- Security Basics and ASP.NET Support [VB | C#] - discusses important security concepts and what facilities are available in ASP.NET to assist in implementing forms authentication, authorization, user accounts, and roles.
- An Overview of Forms Authentication [VB | C#] - provides an in-depth look at the forms authentication workflow.
- Forms Authentication Configuration and Advanced Topics [VB | C#] - examines the various forms authentication settings and see how to modify them through the element.
There will be a total of 14 tutorials. The next batch will focus on the ins and outs of the Membership framework and the SqlMembershipProvider.
Like with the Working with Data tutorials, all tutorials are available in C# and VB versions, include a complete, working source code download, and are available to download as PDF.
Enjoy!
