Hello Mark,
You need to add the <authorization> section. In this section you will deny
access to the anonymous user as follows:
                <authorization>
                        <deny users ="?" />
                        <allow users = "*" />
                </authorization>

For more information on how to implement Forms-Based Authentication refers
to one of the following Kb articles:

| I can't get to first base with forms authentication.
| ASP.NET just ignores it and sends the user anyplace he
| wants to go. I have this in the config file:
|
| <authentication mode="Forms" >
| <forms name = "auth" loginUrl = "/login.aspx">
| </forms>
| </authentication>
|
| Any idea why it is ignored?
