web.config and location...

I have an directory structure like this:

localhost/site/myapp
localhost/site/myapp/author/
localhost/site/myapp/revisor/
localhost/site/myapp/editor/
localhost/site/myapp/admin/

myapp is an application and is where my web.config is located. I must
create 4 completely separated areas for authors, revisors, and editor
and an admin. The 4 areas will be completely different, so i put each of
them in a different folder.

So, each of the 4 folders have a login form, the user authenticates and
can do his job. I am trying to use the Form Authentication that ASP.NET
provides, but i don`t want an user authenticated for "author" to have
access to "revisor" area... or an "editor" have access to "admin". there
are no privilegies, no admin will access author area. So each folder
will have it`s own authentication.

I tried this:

[localhost/site/myapp/web.config]
<configuratio n>
<location path="author">
<authenticati on mode="Forms">
<forms name="AUTHOR_AU TH" loginUrl="~/author/login.aspx" />
</authentication>
<authorizatio n>
<deny users="?">
</authorization>
</location>

<location path="revisor">
<authenticati on mode="Forms">
<forms name="REVISOR_A UTH" loginUrl="~/revisor/login.aspx" />
</authentication>
<authorizatio n>
<deny users="?">
</authorization>
</location>

<and etc="... =)"/>
</configuration>

but it`s not redirecting to the login page.. i can enter any folder
always. I don`t know if my web.config is wrong, or Windows
Authentication comes first to authorize...

anyone can help?
thanks...

you can only have one auth method per site/vd.
You will have to create each with its own virtual dir if you want it to have
it's own auth
Otherwise, have them login at the top level, and control auth based on
groups,id's,etc

what prevents an app from having multiple logins, if you have the
"location" tag to specify different configs for different directories
and the cookie path can be changed?

And how do i disable windows authentication in my app?

web.config wont allow it, it's part of the asp.net framework I believe. ONE
auth type per "site/vd". You can override/exclude/include but you can't set
multiple types
