asp.net - Securing ELMAH while yet making it possible to access it via RSS Reader -

We use ELMAH error exception logging in our application. Although I want to keep ELMAH safe from regular users while making this available to the administrators / developers of the applications.

When you set up security with form authentication in web.config, you lose the ability to access RSS feeds. I want to be able to secure ELMAH but to be able to access the RSS feed (i.e. / LMAXX / RSS) RSS reader, FDD has still been passed through authentication.

Considering that HTTP authentication is appropriate, then I can meet with the following URL syntax on the RSS feed, I think that you have to set authentication mode = "window" on that particular path in the web. Will be required. Config One problem is how do you set up credentials on a virtual file?

Seeing Google, it brings back the way cookies are set up on a certification passthrough. Is this a good solution to my problem?

Is there any other way better to be able to reach the RSS feed?

Thank you. Basically you can adjust your web to a DLL by adding Madame to your project. Configure and configure which file (s) you want to authenticate as a form instead of the form:

  & lt; Configuration & gt; & Lt; ConfigSections & gt; & Lt; Section group name = "madam" & gt; & Lt; Section name = "user security" authorization "type =" system. Configuration. Singettage SectionHandler, System, Version = 1.0.5000.0, Culture = Neutral, Public Koken = B77A5C 561934A90 /> gt; & lt; Section Name = "FormAfficient Disposition" Type = "Madam. FormationAuthentication Disposition Shaxhandler, Madam "/> & lt; / sectionGroup & gt; & lt; / configSections & gt; ... & lt; madam & gt; & lt; userSecurityAuthority ... / & gt; formsAuthenticationDisposition & gt; & Lt; discriminators all = "[true | False] "& gt; ... & lt; / discriminators & gt; & lt; / formsAuthenticationDisposition & gt; & lt; / madam & gt; ... & lt; system.web & gt; & lt; httpModules & Gt; & lt; add name = "formatting deposition" type = "madam.formsitification disapproval module, madam" /> gt; add name = "authentication module" type = "madam authentication module type" /> & gt; LT; /system.web>)/confery & gt;  

It was easy to install and solve my problem Elmah.XD was able to authenticate and still fundamental Authentication is capable of subscribing to RSS feeds with credentials.
