The System.Web.Profile.SettingsAllowAnonymousAttribute class is used to identify whether a property of a custom profile implementation can be accessed if the user is an anonymous user. For information about enabling anonymous identification, see the documentation provided for the anonymousIdentification configuration element.

If no System.Web.Profile.SettingsAllowAnonymousAttribute is specified for a profile property, anonymous access of the profile property is not allowed.

A custom profile implementation is a class that inherits from the System.Web.Profile.ProfileBase abstract class and defines properties for the user profile that are not specified in the profile configuration element. You can specify a custom user-profile type in the application's Web.config file with the inherits attribute of the profile configuration element as shown in the following example.

<configuration>

<connectionStrings>

<add

name="SqlServices"

connectionString="Data Source=localhost;Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=aspnetdb;" />

</connectionStrings>

<system.web>

<authentication mode="Forms" >

<forms

loginUrl="login.aspx"

name=".ASPXFORMSAUTH" />

</authentication>

<authorization>

<deny users="?" />

</authorization>

<profile inherits="Samples.AspNet.Profile.EmployeeProfile"

defaultProvider="SqlProvider">

<providers>

<clear />

<add

name="SqlProvider"

type="System.Web.Profile.SqlProfileProvider"

connectionStringName="SqlServices"

description="SQL Profile Provider for Sample"/>

<add

name="EmployeeInfoProvider"

type="System.Web.Profile.SqlProfileProvider"

connectionStringName="SqlServices"

description="SQL Profile Provider for Employee Info"/>

</providers>

<properties>

<add name="GarmentSize" />

</properties>

</profile>
