Multiple Subdirectories with different login pages

Ok here goes:

WEBSITE main directory allows anonymous users fine.
SITEA, SITEB, and SITEC are all subdirectories under WEBSITE that refer to
graphics and javascript in the main virtual directory. So we have the
following structure.
/WEBSITE
/WEBSITE/images
/WEBSITE/js
/WEBSITE/SITEA/.....
/WEBSITE/SITEB/.....
/WEBSiTE/SITEC/.....

Now sites A,B, and C will all have seperate loging forms using custom
authentication but I want the web.config to control access so that anyone
attempting to go directly to a page in one of the sites will be redirected
back to the login.aspx.... /SITEA/login.aspx, /SITEB/login.aspx, or
/SITEC/login.aspx.

I cannot place a seperate web.config in the the subdirectories with their
own authentication xml elements...

HELP!

<authentication > can only be specified per application. If you want different
authentication schemes for the child directories then you'll have to make
them applications in IIS.

So I suppose the only way to share the images and js directories is to make
them virtual directories as well.

Yep -- a nested virtual directory under all of your applications' directories
mapped to the same physical location works.

Please can someone put me out my misery! Im trying to find a multiple user/password protection script that will redirect the specific user to a specific directory.

Hi, here is what I'm trying to do: I have a virtual directory called "WebApp". Under this one I've got 2 physical directories called "Customers" and "Admins".

Those two directories should have a web.config file, which allows the roles "Admins" and "Customers" access the resources in the

I have a web site with forms authentication and a single logon page. I have 4 subdirectories, each that should be protected by a different username/password combination. For testing purposes, the username/password are hardcoded into the code-behind C# code. How can I write my web.config to make this happen? Thanks.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
