Viewing one page without having to be forms authenticated (the registration page case)
Q. How do I remove an individual page from having to be forms authenticated to view it? I don't want to reorganize my site to have a wide open directory containing only one page. I just want this one page accessible. It is a registration page for new users.
A. Having run into this myself and seen it asked multiple times on discussion aliases. I thought I would blog the solution I used. Answer is to drop something like this into the configuration node of your web.config.
<location path="register.aspx">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="*" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
