folder doesn't inherit web.config settings

[Abraham Andres Luna]

hello everyone,

i set up a folder to have integrated windows authentication through iis. in
order for this to work with asp.net, i have to set the
identity.impersonate=true in the web.config for that folder.

my questions is, why doesn't the subfolders inherit the impersonate setting.
when i try to access a page in a subfolder i am prompted for login info.

i guess the answer would be to have a web.config in every subfolder, but i
though asp.net inherited the web.config settings?

thank you for your help,
abraham luna

nevermind figured it out. the page code and generated html was referencing
files in secured directories.
