forms authentication

Hi,
I am trying to do forms authentication. But what I am doing is a little
complex, I think; and, I cant find any documentation out there on it. What
I am trying to do is forms authentication across applications where the two
applications reside on different servers. How do I do this? From the best
I can tell (from trying it) you can change the path in the web.config file
to be an http address or to a share on another computer. Can anyone help
me figure out how to get around this dilemma? Thanks

Originally I had my web.config file in the root with Forms Authentication set up and it worked just fine. Then I realized that I needed to have some pages unsecure. I then created 2 directories. One named Secure and the other named Public. I placed my web.config file in my

Hi, I've created a little site for my sports club. In the root folder there are pages that are viewable by every anonymous user but at a certain subfolder my administration pages should be protected by forms authentication. When I create forms authentication at root level it works but when I move my code up to the subfolder I get this error: Server Error in '/TestProjects/FormsAuthenticationTestingArea' Application.

Next, I tried to modify the root web.config in the following manner...
