normally there is only 1 web.config (root level)
in there you can have
<authentication mode="Forms">
      <forms loginUrl="Secure/Login.aspx" />
 </authentication>
i know it is possible to have this securing different folders in different
ways (probably w the authorization) but i do it myself, as my user and
security system is a part of my application. When you log in your user is
stored in the session and dependant on the rights, and location info
associated w that user you get or don't get sertain stuff.

in other words i only use the web.config to make sure a user logs in
(instaid of going to a url direct)

hope it helps
