I believe the problem is that your login page is in a folder that is not
accessible by anonymous users. Put the login.aspx page in a public
<authorization ... allow user="*"> folder and protected pages in a separate
folder (that doesn't allow anonymous users. ) Give it shot. It works
here!!! Also, keep in mind that web.config settings flow down the directory
structure until another web.config is found that overrides its settings.

HTH.
