Simple authorization on ASP.NET MVC3?

Question

C++ / C#

Hello.
It would not be desirable to use the massive built-in authorization, for only one user.
What other ways are there, simpler?
Is there a good manual for Forms Athentication somewhere? And then I did not understand something right off the bat ...

In the Securing the Administration Features section. There are only a few pages of description, the code can be copied. The meaning is something like this:

<authentication mode="Forms">
 <forms loginUrl="~/Account/LogOn" timeout="2880">
  <credentials passwordFormat="Clear">
   <user name="admin" password="secret" />
  </credentials>
 </forms>
</authentication>

The login and password are stored in Web.config (of course, the password must be stored as a hash, for example, SHA1). Then you can use [Authorize] and everything will work, for several users - I think this is optimal, no databases.

Answer 2

here on Habré a person made his own authorization mechanism in MVC - habrahabr.ru/blogs/aspnet_mvc/127755/
Maybe it will suit you.

Answer 3

Use Windows Authentication. Easier nowhere.

There is also a link to the Forms Authentication docs on the right.
