FYI: I figured out what the issue was here. I had inadvertently copied in web.configs to all the sub-directories. this caused me to make them their own application. I didn't realize that I didn't' need them there. I have just the root application now, with one web.config and it works like a charm. thanks all.

The forms authentication is trying authenticate for the current application. What you could do is write a little httpModule in the main app that looks for any request to login.aspx, intercepts it and redirects it to the login.aspx in the main app. A slightly quicker hack would be to create login.aspx pages in the sub apps that simply redirect to the login.aspx in the main app. --- In [email protected], "Falls, Travis D (HTSC, CASD)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Bob and Dean, > I tried this /login.aspx and it still tries to find > /RAFTAdmin2/Admin/FileWatcher/login.aspx instead of kicking back to > /RAFTAdmin2/login.aspx.
