'How to implement security trimming with a website with multiple folders and multiple web.config files?

I have a website that has highly granulised access and hence requires many web.config files. The problem is I would like to trim the menu so that only certain users will have access to certain folders. I have enabled trimming and setup roles in the sitemap, however when I access the page the menu is not show, as I am authorized to view the default page which is not in a subfolder. When I type the url of a page in sub folder's I have access.

How should I handle this:

A site map for each web.config file - don't know how this will work
Removing the sub web.config file to only use a single one

you can use MembershipUser, RoleManager classes and regsql.exe tool to generate your database of security.

Or create specific library of security with IPrincipal and IIdentity.

Answered my question found solutions here: ASP Forums

All that needed to be done was to make sure the top node in the sitemap had a url.

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<siteMap xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/AspNet/SiteMap-File-1.0" >
      <siteMapNode **url="~/"** title="Home" description="">
      <siteMapNode title="Home" url="~/Default.aspx"/>
      <siteMapNode title="About" url="~/About/About.aspx" />
      <siteMapNode title="Lists" url="~/Lists/Lists.aspx" />
  </siteMapNode>
  </siteMap>
