How to protect a subdirectory with forms auth 1

[Tokhra]

Hi all,

I have a web application, and I want to protect pages in a subdirectory, lets call it 'Admin', I tried putting a web.config in the admin directory itself, but I had to make that directory an application, which caused further problems with references, so there must be a way to protect a sub directory from the web.config in the root of the web app?

Does anyone have any information on this, tips or examples?

Thanks,
Matt.

This should help:

Hierarchical web.config files (handled differently) or a <location> element are your options.

Ah, Just had a quick glance over it - i'll implement it when I get time over the weekend.

Looks like what im looking for though, Thanks very much.
