how redirect to a login page specified in a web.config file inside folder

Question

I use this web.config file inside a folder to block users. I want to redirect to the page specified here:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<system.web>
<authentication>
<forms loginUrl="~\paginas\login\loginvendedor2.aspx"/>
</authentication>
<authorization >
<deny users="?"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</configuration>

but I get redirected to the page specified in the web.config file in the root of the site

Web.config has a feature called configuration inheritance. There is an excellent article here .

You need to edit the web.config file in the root directory and add the attribute inheritInChildApplications="false" to any tags you don't want the web.config in the sub-folder to inherit. It should work on the forms tag. However I can't test this right now and you may need to block inheritance from the authenication tag instead.
