Authentication nightmare!

Hi all, I’m working through a Karl Moore tutorial and I’m stuck…
I would like to know if any one else has done this one? It’s the letmein tutorial designed to help with authentication (page 294 of his book). I have followed the Readme.txt file supplied with his source code. Since I’m still working with the Beta 2 version I can’t load the source code direct. To get the code to work on http://localhost/letmein, the instructions say:

Launch the Internet Services Manager. Branch out the nodes until you reach "Default Web Site". Right-click and select New, Virtual Directory - click Next at the introduction, enter the site name ("letmein"), click Next, specify the path to this folder, click Next, Next again, then Finish :cool:

OK that is simple enough, but I keep getting this error, HTTP 403 in my Browser :mad: which reads: You are not authorized to view this page. :mad:

My Web Config file contains:

<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms>
<credentials passwordFormat="Clear">
<user name="karl" password="moore" />
<user name="strangely" password="brown" />
</credentials>
</forms>
</authentication>

<authorization>
<deny users="?" />
</authorization>

Can anyone help me?

Thanks for your time. :)

You haven't provided a login page to redirect to.

<authentication mode="Forms">
.
.
.
<forms loginUrl="login.aspx">
.
.
</forms>
</authentication>

the login.aspx is an example - you point it to your designed login page and whatever it is called.
