    I'm trying to create a structure I can share
    authentication from a root application with many
    subordinate applications (subfolders).

    The web.config file for the root has:

                    <authorization>
                            <allow users="*" />
                    </authorization>
                    
    Then, each subordinate application (subfolder) has a
    web.config with the following:

        <authentication mode="Forms">
                    <forms name=".BUZZARD"
                            loginUrl="../login.aspx">
                    </forms>
        </authentication>
        <authorization>
            <deny users="?" />
        </authorization>

    When the user access a resource in a subfolder, the login
    form is displayed and authenticates the user correctly,
    including the creation of an authentication ticket. But,
    when the login form attempts to redirect the browser to
    the requested secure resource, the login form is
    redisplayed. I have tried using
    FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage() and
    Response.Redirect() with the same results.

    Any ideas?

    JTR.
