Web.Config and Authentication

[Brian]

Hi, I have a web application that I have set up that uses the Forms
authentication method. There are 3 web pages that do not want to force the
user to login in order to access. I created a folder and added a web.config
file with Authentication="None" and now I get an error saying the folder
isn't a web application. Is there a way I can grant anonymous access to
these pages without the user having to logon?

Thanks, Brian

You can specify which files and folders to allow to which users in your
main web.config file by using the <location> tag.

Here is an example link with sample code that you can download and play
with.
