Is it possible to have an ASP.Net MVC Area use different authentication then the rest of the application? The main app has to be forms authentication since it’s an extranet. I need to have an Admin section that is only accessible by internal employees. I’ve done a lot of research and have found examples of how to do Mixed Mode, but I have not found anything showing how to do it with an ASP.Net MVC Area.
Thanks for your help.
Each area can have its own web.config where you can configure/override the kind of authentication you want.
Here’s blog post about areas and multiple web.config files:
