Redirect Unauthenticated Users to Custom URL

Hi,

I have been asked to create a micro-site within an existing Kentico site. This micro-site is contained within a folder under the main CMS Tree, and a requires a login. Non-authenticated users should be redirected to a login page within the micro-site.

How can I set Kentico to redirect unauthorised users to my chosen login page without affecting the authentication rules for the rest of the site?

I only want the authentication rules to affect pages under my folder in the CMS Tree.

(The micro-site probably should have been created as a separated Kentico site under the main Kentico instance, but it's too late for that now).

Thanks for any help you can offer!

Rob.

I know its not a pretty solution but think its the easiest.

Unfortunately not. The guide you linked to relies on setting the 'Website logon page URL' in Site Manager -> Settings -> Security & Membership.

But an existing login page with different styles has already been specified in that setting, and I need to redirect users to a different login page with a different layout and styles.

It sounds like eagleag's suggestion may be my only option.
