I could be wrong (ultranewb, here), but I believe the reason you're getting
an error message that says you have to 'make the folder an application' in
IIS is because you're trying to specify authentication again in your second
web.config file. Authentication can only be set in the web.config file in
the root directory, as it pertains to the whole application. So just remove
the <authentication> tag pair from the config file in the subdirectory and
everything else should be fine - the authorization section does the work you
need. Or you can, as was suggested, use 'location' tags in a single
web.config file at root.
