Hi,all,

How to let the sub-directory to avoid the authentication control from Root's
webconfig?
I heard that we can add a new web.config to the sub-directory. And then we
can slove the problem.

Virtual directory is £ºhttp://localhost/main

Sub-directory is : http://localhost/main/reminder

My application used the Forms Authentication, then all files in every
directory is controlled by the Forms Authentication. But now i want a
sub-directory to avoid this. (user can access this directory directly,
Needn't to Login.)

In my application, the user can access the http://localhost/main/reminder
and needn't to authentication.


When I add the new web.config(cancel the forms authentication section), and
when I access this URL(http://localhost/main/reminder), The following error
shown:

*****************************************************
Configuration Error
Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file
required to service this request. Please review the specific error details
below and modify your configuration file appropriately.

Parser Error Message: It is an error to use a section registered as
allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level. This error
can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application
in IIS.

Line 42: </authentication>

Can anyone give me some suggestion about it?
