Hi Jeo,

Thanks for the followup. As for the #1, the asp.net has provide the
solution for using formsAuthentication across
multi web application. That'll need use make some certain attributes in the
<forms> element in web.config identical of all those
 web applications. Here is the reference in MSDN:

#Forms Authentication Across Applications
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/cpguide/html/cpconformsauthenticatio
nacrossapplications.asp?frame=true

As for the #2, make all the folders in one application will be much easier
and convenient than using FormsAuthentication across
multi application. But since all the folders and their content(pages..) are
in one web app. And the certain elemtns in web.config
for the <location> setting are limited to some certain elements. Some
elements can only be set in root web.config. You can have a look
at the following web.config element schema to check

#ASP.NET Settings Schema
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/cpgenref/html/gngrfASPNETConfigurati
onSectionSchema.asp?frame=true

You can view all the element's description and see whether one element can
be override at subdir level or only at application level.

Hope these help. Thanks.
