Windows authentication setting in web.config

[Matt]

The ASP.NET application connects to MS-SQL database, and I already disabled
Anonymous access in IIS, and add ASPNET user in it. When I run the
application, it throws the following error on windows authentication:

Server Error in '/' Application.

Configuration Error
Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file
required to service this request. Please review the specific error details
below and modify your configuration file appropriately.

Parser Error Message: It is an error to use a section registered as
allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level. This error
can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application
in IIS.

Source Error:

Line 46: by Microsoft that offers a single logon and core profile
services for member sites.
Line 47: -->
Line 48: <authentication mode="Windows"/> //<====== ERROR!!
Here's the portion of the web.config file that I modified, any ideas what's
the problem here?

<configuration>
<appSettings>
<add key="connString" value="Data Source=127.0.0.1;Integrated
Security=SSPI;Network Library=DBMSSOCN;Initial Catalog=studentdb;"></add>
</appSettings>
<system.web>
<identity impersonate="true" />
//etc...

so , you have checked that the virtual directory has been setup properly? Have you put all your file under the virtual directory? A virtual directory is the boundary for asp.net application. Not the root directory as it once was

Yes, I put all files under virtual directory. What do u mean "A virtual
directory is the boundary for asp.net application. Not the root directory as
it once was." Can u explain it more? Thanks!!

What I meant was that when you create a new project, and a new directory (and web.config) is created. And the user authentication section (and other contents in that web.config) applies to that directory only

But have you tried putting this line

<identity impersonate="true" /

underneath:

<authentication mode="Windows"/

I think the <identity> element needs to be within the <system.web> element

Thanks you!
I'll try that when I'll get back to work...
Where I can get more info about this web.config file configuration?
Thank you again.
