Because PineBlog is very light-weight it is not a complete web application, it needs to be integrated in an existing web application or you need to create a basic web application for it. There are a few things PineBlog depends on, but that it does not provide.
- Authentication and authorization
Note: The admin pages require that authentication/authorization has been setup in your website, the admin area has a
AuthorizeFilterwith the default policy set to all pages in that area folder.
