Hi,

I'm working on a webapplication, most part is for anonymous access, but for
one part login is needed. All the files after login are in one particual
folder: "/login".

Usernames and passwords are stored in a tabel on SQL Server.
The loginpage and Web.config are in the root of the web.

I've tried several things but I don't get it work correctly.
My code of checking against the table works correctly, I'm struggling with
Web.config.

The authentication section of Web.config is like:

<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms name="justaname"
path="/"
loginUrl="login.aspx"
protection="All"
timeout="20">
</forms>
</authentication>

All I want to manage is to allow anonymous acces for the whole website,
except the content of the subfolder "/login".
Any help is appreciated, thanks!

You need to create a new <location> in your web.config and point it to your
folder. Configure forms auth for that location only

Cheers

Dear VIC,

You need to add the following code to your web.config file.

<location path="login">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<deny users="?" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>

Hope it helps.

Thanks.
