I'm trying to modify the list of allowed users in
web.config from a codebehind.
<authorization>
<allow users="alice, bob"/>
<deny users="*"/>
</authorization>
I successfully retrieve the section I need
config = WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration("~");
authSection = (AuthorizationSection)config.GetSection("system.web/authorization");
When I iterate looking for the allow rule, I get two of them.
foreach (AuthorizationRule rule in authSection.Rules)
{
if (rule.Action == AuthorizationRuleAction.Allow)
{
// manage the Users StringCollection
}
}
The first item I get has 'alice' and 'bob' in the Users collection. The SECOND item I get has * Where is this second entry coming from? This is an Allow Rule, not a Deny rule. I could understand the * from a Deny rule. Is there some extra inheritance I'm not aware of?
