You apply configuration settings to a particular path by using the <location> element.
For example, the following web configuration file enables password-protection for a single file named Secret.aspx.
The <location> element must be added as an immediate child of the <configuration> element.
File: Web.config
<configuration >
<system.web>
<authentication mode="Forms" />
</system.web>
<location path="Secret.aspx">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<deny users="?" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
</configuration>
