Authorization v/s Authentication

What is always this confusion around Authorization and Authentication ??? I always found the definition and meaning very clear. Authentication is entry into the campus, you may only need College's ID card to enter. But Authorization means .. are you a Teacher to enter into Teacher's room.. Are you the dean of the college to enter into Dean's office etc etc.

You can read more about it at http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/031204-1.aspx. I found it simple and easy to read.

ASP.NET has 3 methods to authenticate a user. Windows, Forms and Passport authentication providers. you can find out how it all works in the above URL.

Happy Authenticating !!!

My Start

Welcome all to my blog. I am going to talk to you about my experience about learning dotnet, s , learning dot net. .... my friends and my colleagues are going to kill me if I say I am learning now...

But yes, I believe I need to start over again. I want to understand/observe every feature that dotnet provides. At this point in time I want to know all about .NET framework 3.5.

Do you want to know how I am going to learn. They keep reading ... I plan to write my learning as I go along...

Thanks for reading so far ..... no prizes though ... bye .. srv (my new signature from today)
