I am having trouble trying to secure ELMAH. I have followed Phil Haacked's <a href="http://haacked.com/archive/2007/07/24/securely-implement-elmah-for-plug-and-play-error-logging.aspx" rel="noreferrer">tutorial</a>, with the only difference being the demo project is a web application and my project is a website. <pre><code> <add verb="POST,GET,HEAD" path="/admin/elmah.axd" type="Elmah.ErrorLogPageFactory, Elmah" /> <location path="admin"> <system.web> <authorization> <deny users="?"/> </authorization> </system.web> </location> </code></pre> With the leading "/" I receive the response that "The resource cannot be found.", if I remove the leading "/" everything works fine except authentication can be bypassed by appending a directory name in front of /admin/elmah.axd. For example without the leading "/" www.mysite.com/admin/elmah.axd - triggers the authentication www.mysite.com/asdasdasd/admin/elmah.axd - does not trigger the authentication and displays ELMAH How can I ensure that ELMAH is secure while maintaining the ability to remotely view the log? Thanks. Note to others: Following Alan's answer below results in the following. www.mysite.com/admin/elmah.axd - triggers the authentication www.mysite.com/admin/asdasdasd/elmah.axd - triggers the authentication www.mysite.com/asdasdasd/admin/elmah.axd - The resource cannot be found. (exactly what we wanted)

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
