Hi all,

I have read that you can have have multiple web.config files but some tags
including <authentication> can only be present in the root one.

but our applictaion is used by 3 different kinds of users.
so we have 1 virtual directory and 3 folders, 1 for each type of user.
we have 1 login page in each of the 3 different folders.

Now my requirement is when the session times out /invalid login
information/.... i need to go to login page of curresponding folder.

How can is set this in web.config in subdirectory as i cannot override
authentication tag in subdirectory.

Do i have to make each subfolder VirtualDirectory?

we are using webfarm with 2 webservers.

what is the best practice to implement this?

Any sugesstions would be helpful

Thanks
VSK
