I want to Password protect portions of a site

---Main site No Password
--thisFolder need password
--thisOtherFolder need different password.

Was going to put a child web.config in
--thisOtherFolder
--thisFolder

and change the cookie name for each folder

The diagram on page 650 would indicate that this is possible.

But everytime I try and use web.config in a folder other than root I get allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level

Virtual Directorys are not an option here

Anyone have any other idea or Should I use the classic solution of setting a unique cookie key for each section?


Root config file =
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
    <system.web>
    </system.web>
</configuration>

Child (In another folder on same site)=
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<system.web>
    <authentication mode="Forms">
    <forms name=".ASPXTE" loginUrl="../Login/Login.aspx"
                protection="Encryption" timeout="30"/>
    </authentication>
    <machineKey validationKey="AutoGenerate"
        decryptionKey="AutoGenerate" validation="SHA1"/>
    <authorization>
        <deny users="?"/>
    </authorization>
    </system.web>
</configuration>

Hello! Figured out the solution. Are there any better groups for .Net? This room is beat.

And what was the solution? I have the same problem and yes I have no option for virtual directories either :)
