Using Progress Manager with Forms Authentication

[Julian Roberts]

When  I use the  progreess manager outside of the admin folder, it works fine. The problems come when using it inside the admin folder. I get an alert box that lists an Ajax callback error and contains the contents of my 'access denied' page. I just can't figure out how to use the control with Forms Authentication. This same issue also affects the Spellchecker in RadEditor. Help!

 <location path="admin">
    <system.web>
      <authorization>
        <allow roles="Admin"/>
        <deny users="*"/>
      </authorization>
    </system.web>
  </location>
  <location path="Telerik.RadUploadProgressHandler.aspx">
    <system.web>
      <authorization>
        <allow roles="*"/>
        <allow users="*"/>
      </authorization>
    </system.web>
  </location>

OK, I've sussed this now. It's ashx not aspx for Promethesus. Also, I had some complex business rules that further authenticated requests, over and above the Forms Authentication.

If this last post is correct and the reference in the <location> section of the web.config should have the .ashx extension then the current online documents are incorrect as the .aspx extension is used in the

[Web.config] Allowing access when using Forms Authentication section.

Hi Joshua Laase,

Thank you for the feedback. We highly appreciate it.

In the Forms Authentication section for RadUpload in the online documentation of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX the RadUploadProgressHandler should be registered with .ashx extension instead of with .aspx one. We will correct this mistake for the next update of the control.

All the best,
