What"s the easiest way to secure a web folder?

I have a membership web application. A user is either an
administrator or a regular user (only 2 roles)

I have an admin folder in this application. I want only
administrators to be able to access that folder.

I am not using the .net member/role/profile framework. What's the
easiest way to secure that admin folder?

Thanks.

RE: What"s the easiest way to secure a web folder?

set the role required for the admin pages via the locations section in the
web.config

re:

The OP specifically stated that he is *not* using the "member/role/profile framework"

So, the easiest way to secure that admin folder is to *implement membership and roles*,
and *then* secure the folder as you describe in your answer.

Haha, that's a good answer. I may look into it and implement a very
basic membership provider. Thx.

That will, certainly, do it for you.

re:

You're quite welcome.
If you run into any problems implementing the membership provider or the roles, post again.
