Can you use ASP.NET Authentication with HTM and HTML Files?-tech13032012

The three ASP.NET authentication modes apply to files that are part of the Web application. That includes Web forms (.aspx), modules (.asax), and other resources that are processed through the Web application’s executable. It does not automatically include HTML pages (.htm or .html). Those pages are handled by Internet Information Services (IIS), rather than ASP.NET. If you want to authenticate users who access HTML pages from within your Web application using Windows, Forms, or Passport authentication modes, you must map those files to the ASP.NET executable.
