In the configuration file, you specify a URL to redirect unauthenticated requests to the login page. Then define valid credentials, either in the *Web.config* file or in a separate file. The following example shows a section from a configuration file that specifies a login page and authentication credentials for the `Authenticate` method. The passwords have been encrypted by using the `HashPasswordForStoringInConfigFile` method.
