Form authorization problem

[nick]

Hi, How should I write the web.config file to allow some of the aspx files
be executable to all users and others are required users to login? All the
aspx files are in the same folder.

you could use something like this :
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms name="YourName" loginUrl="login.aspx" protection="All" />
</authentication>
<authorization>
<deny users="?" />
<allow users="*" />
</authorization>

<location path="yourpage.aspx">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="*"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>

This will ask the user for login, but if the user reach yourpage.aspx it
will be allowed to everybody without a login

Regards
Martin

Thanks, however, after I modified the code, I got the following error:
