Forms authentication & Cache

[Søren M. Olesen]

Hi

Is it possible (somehow) to share the same cache
(System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Cache) between a Web-application (.aspx)
running Forms authentication and a Web-Service (.asmx) ??

It seems like you'd have to split them into two different Web-Sites as soom
as you start running Forms authentication....but is there a way to still
share the cache between them??

TIA

Søren

If they are configured in the same virtual directory in IIS then they will
share all in memory state, Cache included. If you're using forms auth, you
can always allow anonymous access to the ASMXs files via the <location> element
in web.conifg:

<configuration>
<system.web> .... </system.web>
<location path="MyService.asmx">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="*" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
