Page security using Windows Authentication

Douglas Fittipaldi asked on August 11, 2026 18:26

We're using v13.0.138 on a dotnet core site. We want to be able to lockdown a page on our site so a user visiting that page would have to be authenticated. The rest of the site would be anonymous. I see on the Security tab for that page, there is a section "Page access on live site" where you can require authentication, but that authentication seems to be for Kentico itself. Is there a way to have that page authenticate using the user's Windows credentials instead? I have Windows Authentication enabled in IIS, but unsure where to go from here.

It depends whether you want to restrict the access within the admin app or on the live site. If it is on the live site, then you need to configure you live site app accordingly and add the check into the controller(s). The setting you mentioned just sets a bool property which then returns true/false - so in the code you can see what page should be checked for authentication. More details on how to implement access check can be found here.
