Abstract

In this chapter, we look at the ASP.NET support for and authorization. Authentication is the process of identifying your users. Authorization is the process of controlling their access to different parts of the application. We focus very narrowly on techniques and features. To do this, we work with very simple data that we statically define in classes in the example project. This isn’t very realistic, but we guarantee that you will fully understand how these important processes are performed in ASP.NET applications. In Chapter 26, we will build on the content of this chapter and show you how to work with real user data.
