Disabling Forms Authentication for a page

Hi,

I have a login page for my application where users are required to
authenticate. I want to add a simple "Password forgotten?" link to that page
where users are linked to another page and where they can request their
password again. Now, with Forms Authentication enabled I cannot be
transferred to the other page. Is there a way to do so?

Regards,
Michael

Michael,

Yes, you can do it within the location tag in the web.config file

Here is an article that explains step by step how to do this:

Hope this helps,
