How can i exclude some files from the Form Authentication.. my welcome page
and even custom error pages (404) is not working before authenticate.
need help
 
You can exclude specific files from forms auth with a location node in
web.config:
<location path="404.aspx">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="*" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>

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

It's often easier to just group the pages that don't require auth into
a public folder and allow access to the whole folder at once:

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

Thanx alot.. I have searched alot to solve this...
I was trying to put files in a public folder by add web.config to the public
folder but this generate exception even if i excluded it from the project i
must delete it to work..
Is the web.config only one file for all my application so i can have only
one file in my solution??
