PageTree Authentication
There is nothing to the page tree structure and security, conceptually speaking. Access rights are still set in pages, just as in 4.x.
Just as in 4.x, you can also set access rights on physical files, typically done in web.config.
The thing that has changed is how the users are identified (authenticated) and how a specific users group membership is determined (the authorization part.) This is now done by using Membership and Role providers, a key component of asp.net 2.0 and later.
So, no template duplication is neccessary.

Hi, To my knowledge CMS 5 uses the dotnet-based authentication that allows/reject roles based on the physical filestructure at the webroot instead of the PageTree-structure.
Since I have templates that are common to both the public and the private parts of the site I must have alot of template-duplicates unless i choose to throw the pre-packeted solution away and implement it manually in the codebehind.
Is this the hard reality or is there a better way?
