Thanks for the response, I did try it adding to the global assembly
cache, it didnt work. I got a different error as given below

its dependencies, was not found.

Hi Sai,
If your virtual directory is a network share, when the runs it will
run with a very limited set of permissions. Auth.dll must be trying to
perform some action that requires more permissions than it's been
given.
If you want to install Auth.dll locally, you could give it a strong
name (sign it with a key) and then place it into the Global Assembly
Cache.
That way, when it runs Auth.dll *should* be granted the same security
context as the ASP.NET process (since it's not coming from a network
share anymore).
HTH,

I have written a HTTP Module (Auth.dll) to authenticate pages in a
virtual directory. The virtual directory points to a network path
(per se \\net1\web). Now I have to place the compiled HTTP Module
Auth.dll and supporting dll's in \\net1\web\bin folder, and copied the
web.config to \\net1\web. I am getting security error when I try to
access the pages from the virtual folder. If I remove the HTTP
module it works fine. This has been done on windows 2003.
Q) Can I move the Auth.dll to a path in local machine rather than
network path?, if yes how can i do that.
Appreciate for your help.
Thanks
SAI
