Web.config file - Visual Basic .NET

ruca

Hi,

I have an application that I want to setup for each folder a web.config file
with different authentication, but when I try to do that it gives me an
error saying that maybe that folder is not configured in IIS as virtual
directory.

In the root I don't want to have redirect to login page if i try to access
any file in the root.
If I want to access to any FOLDER present in application root I want to
redirect to the Login page with authentication Forms type.

I already try to put one we.config file in each folder but the error
described above occurs.

normally there is only 1 web.config (root level)
in there you can have
<authenticati on mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="Secur e/Login.aspx" />
</authentication>
i know it is possible to have this securing different folders in different
ways (probably w the authorization) but i do it myself, as my user and
security system is a part of my application. When you log in your user is
stored in the session and dependant on the rights, and location info
associated w that user you get or don't get sertain stuff.

in other words i only use the web.config to make sure a user logs in
(instaid of going to a url direct)

hope it helps

You can use a <location> element to set up different authentication for each
folder.
