	</connectionStrings>
  
  <system.web>
        <compilation debug="true"/>
  </system.web>
    
  <system.web>
      <authentication mode="Forms">
        <forms name=".ASPNET" loginUrl="logon.aspx"  defaultUrl="secure/default.aspx" />
      </authentication>
  </system.web>
  
  <location path="secure">   
    <system.web>
       <authorization>
         <deny users="?"/>
         <allow users="*"/>
