ASP/VB.net authentication

[murph]

Can someone tell me if I implement an authentication mechanism on my site using this method, do I need to check if the user is authenticated on every page in the site, or will the code take care of this for me?

For instance, I set my start page to index.aspx, but if the user isn't authenticated yet, it will take them back to logon.aspx...now do I have to check the logon credentials on each and every page, or is that what modifying the web.config and the global.asax file does?

Thanks for any and all assistance.
