    Default Windows Authentication on a topic

    Hi,

    Is it possible to set windows authentication on a topic ?

    If a user (whether or not logged in to the site) opens the page say /employee.aspx or /t-employee.aspx, he have to undergo windows authentication process.

    Can I implement this using topic or I have to create custom page ??

    Please help. . . .
    Thanks in advance

    In the topic manager's page in the admin, you have actually an option to put a 'Password' on each topic once that topic is loaded they'll have to provide the password first before they can view it.

    Since the topic is not a physical file, setting windows auth likely wouldn't be possible. You *could* try creating a physical file with the exact same name as your topic url and set windows auth on that, but I can't guarantee that will do the trick. Otherwise, setting up a physical file is your only choice. The physical file could however inherit from skinbase and load a topic

    I have created a physical page and applied the topic on that page.
