telerik scripts and authentication?

[Sam]

Hi,

I'm trying to use a radwindow on a log in page.
The page works fine when authentication is off.
Soon as I enable authentication, the window will not show.

I don't need to open/close/manipulate the window...I just need it to stay visible at all times.

SignIn.aspx :

<telerik:RadScriptManager ID="RadScriptManager1" runat="server" LoadScriptsBeforeUI="true" ScriptMode="Release">
</telerik:RadScriptManager>
<telerik:RadWindowManager ID="RadWindowManager1"
    runat="server"
    EnableViewState="true"
    EnableShadow="true"
    Modal="true"
    VisibleStatusbar="false"
    PreserveClientState="true"
    Animation="Fade"
    Behaviors="None"
    DestroyOnClose="True"
    EnableEmbeddedScripts="true"
    VisibleOnPageLoad="true"
    KeepInScreenBounds="True">
    <Windows>
        <telerik:RadWindow ID="RadWindow1" runat="server">
            <ContentTemplate>
                Hello!
            </ContentTemplate>
        </telerik:RadWindow>
    </Windows>
</telerik:RadWindowManager>

If no authentication, the page works fine.
As soon as I add the below to the web.config file, the window no longer shows:

<authentication mode="Forms">
    <forms name="SecLogin" path="/" loginUrl="SignIn.aspx" timeout="200"/>
</authentication>
<authorization>
    <deny users="?"/>
</authorization>

Hi Sam,

The authentication disables access to all files, but the login page and thus the WebResource that the RadControls use to load their JavaScript files is not loaded, which prevents them from working. The solution is to allow the WebResource to be accessed:

<location path="Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource.axd">
  <system.web>
    <authorization>
      <allow users="?"/>
    </authorization>
  </system.web>
</location>

This path is used when the RadScriptManager is used, if the regular asp ScriptManager is used you only need to add "WebResource.axd".

You can find my test project attached with the full web.config (although very simple since there is no actual logic in the site).
