title: Authentication for asp.net website without using any database
body: <p>Is there any way to provide user log-in without the need for a DB.  We are deploying a system to control some hardware and the customer wants an interface they can access from a browser, but they also want to provide log-in to prevent just any body from accessing it.</p>
  
  <p>I have no reason for a DB to implement what I need. I would hate to have to install a DB on the box just to provide authentication.</p>
  
  <p>Pretty sure I am going to use a MVC web project.</p>
