Security on the Web site that I am working on is based on a SQL Server accounts database; it is not based in any way on NTFS or a Windows domain. All I wish to do is enable users to log in through a members portal and use a link to a PDF file which is specific to their portal account - without exposing the URL path of the PDF. In other words, I wish to avoid making it too easy for overly curious users to try their luck at accessing another user's PDF content.
Based on my reading of thread41-479169, I think that there may be a way to create a link to a PDF which uses a "context-type" attribute to get around this problem. Is that so, and if not, is there some other approach that I should consider?
Thanks in advance for whatever input can be offered.
