temp4.aspx

Now i want to encrypt temp3.aspx through web.config file, when i open webpage temp3.aspx then it will prompt for username and password,

Do you mean 'encrypt' or 'protect'? Even if you do both, the information sent to the browser will be in plain text unless you purchase and install an SSL certificate to encrypt the connection.

@DaveBaldwin : how can i do it in Web.config ? When i open aspx page on server then it will ask for username and password [e.g. Popup]. It relate to form authentication in web.config

Username and password must be stored in web.config.

No coding in C# , only setting in Web.config
