Silly me - I forgot to set the Application Name in IIS Manager.

Developing More Secure Microsoft ASP.NET 2.0 Applications (http://www.microsoft.com/mspress/books/9989.asp)
I have a number of remote users that connect to the domain through a
VPN device. I need a simple process for them to be able to change
their passwords - some of them only have http bookmarks. The VPN is
configured to authenticate users with the Active Directory. I found
this article: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms998360.aspx &
followed along - I can do a little hacking, but I'm primarily a
system/db admin.
I can run the web page in the designer & it works fine, however, when
I attempt to run it on the server, from another server in the domain,
or from a bookmark on the VPN, I get an web.config configuration
error, & the following line is highlighted:
<authentication mode="Forms">
I don't understand what's wrong. Is the web.config file case
sensitive? Do the entries need to be in a specific order?
If it will help, here is my entire web.config:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
