Forms authentication except for a single page.

UJ
Is there any way to use forms authentication but have a page excluded from
it? I need to have on my login page a link to a 'need help' page which I
currently do. But when I try and navigate to the page, it redirects me to my
login page which makes sense since that's my authentication page.

My help page will be the only page that I allow somebody to get to without
actually login in.

TIA - Jeffrey.

Every folder can have its authentication configured separately.
Therefore you can have a help folder that doesn't allows anonymous users.

Here's more info:
