Hi there,
I want to have an unrestricted root directory and some protected
subdirectories on my ASP.NET 2.0 application. I want each subdirectory to
have its own Login.aspx page.
The following article is a good start, but it uses a single Login.aspx
located in the root directory to protect a subdirectory: http://www.theserverside.net/tt/arti...Authentication
The technique described in the article uses a "location" section in
web.config, where a custom "system.web " section is defined for the protected
subdirectory.
Now if I put the "authentica tion mode" section inside this custom
"system.web " for the subdirectory (so I can define the subdirectory Login
page), I get a compiler error on the "authentication " section:
Error 1 It is an error to use a section registered as
allowDefinition ='MachineToAppl ication' beyond application level. This error
can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application
in IIS. D:\WebSites\Reg encyWeb\web.con fig 42
If I put the "authentication " section in the root "system.web " (outside of
the location's "system.web ") then the application compiles fine, but I'm
limited to a single Login.aspx for the application.
So how can I solve this?
Thanks for any insight,

You can only have one authentication section in a web application. You don't
solve this, it's by design. The only thing you can do is alter the login
page based upon where the user is coming from, ie: which subdirectory. The
only other way is to make the subdirectories their own independent
application spaces. Of course, you can specify whatever authorization
limitations you want in the specific subdirectories, that doesn't matter,
just keeping in mind there can only be one authentication section and one
logon page.

Hi,
I am developing an ASP.NET application that uses forms authentication.
However, it contains subdirectories, and they don't get authenticated
somehow. I added a web.config and set the SignOn.aspx to the sign on
page in the application's root directory. However, if I move to a page
in one of the subdirectories it requires me to log in again. Once I log
in successfully it keeps sending me back to my sign in page.
Does anyone have any...

I've got the basic forms based authentication going. A user has to go to my
login page before they can access any other pages. The issue is that there
are a sub-set of pages on which I don't have to require that a user login in
before they access it (the contact/about page for example). I've tried
copying all my 'secure' pages to a sub-directory of my application and then
set up the web.config in this sub-dir to use forms, leaving 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.

Hi,
I have an application where I want to store reports (.pdf, .doc) in a
reports subdirectory. Within the reports subdirectory, I am creating other
subdirectories (with a job number) where I store the reports for a job. I
can access the reports fine through my application.
However, if I save the link to a report, I can open it without logging into
the application, which would be a security issue.

Hi all,
I'm testing ASP.NET 1.1 authentications and cookies features, and I've
red tons of tutorials and articles about this, but not all is clear for me.
My goal is to create a basic site with authentication process, like my
other ASP 3.0 sites that I developed with classical session variables to
follow each user with some personal data (like role, e-mail address,
preferences, ect.).

My app has an 'admin' folder. This is the only directory i need to apply

Googling seems to indicate that the solution is to just give the admin
