  Use the standard forms authentication setup:

  <system.web>
    <authentication mode="Forms">
      <forms loginUrl="Login.aspx"
             protection="All"
             timeout="30"
             name=".ASPXAUTH" 
             path="/"
             requireSSL="false"
             slidingExpiration="true"
             defaultUrl="default.aspx"
             cookieless="UseDeviceProfile"
             enableCrossAppRedirects="false" />
    </authentication>
  </system.web>

  Then add location elements for admin and user folders like this:

  <location path="admin">
  <system.web>
  <authorization>
  <deny users="?" />
  <allow users="*" />
  </authorization>
  </system.web>
  </location>

  <location path="users">
  <system.web>
  <authorization>
  <deny users="?" />
  <allow users="*" />
  </authorization>
  </system.web>
  </location>

  This is an authorization issue, where you have a single login page (authentication), then authorization rules that lock down the Admin and User folder dependent upon the logged in users roles. Read up on these at:
