I am trying to implement Authentication and Authorization using a custom HTTPModule.

Scenario :
A simple asp.net application(uses 'integrated windows authentication'). I need to capture the user credentials(windows) and based upon the user roles(in the sqlserver database), either allow or deny the requested page(url).

Instead of doing this 'authorization' on each and every page(in Page_Load only during initial load not during the postbacks), I am trying to intercept the user requests in a custom HttpModule using 'OnAuthenticate' & 'OnAuthorize' events.

Problem :
Everything seems to be working fine... except that 'OnAuthenticate' & 'OnAuthorize' are called both during the initial Page_Load and also during PostBack. I don't want to unnecessarily Authenticate & Authorize during page Postbacks.
Is there any way to restrict this in HttpModule ?

Hope this is clear & appreciate any suggestions/comments.

Thank you,

Why would you not want to authenticate and authorize postbacks? A postback is just a page request just like any other. Just curious.
