I have an authorization error in my asp.net mvc4 application. My account admin of my machine is this one

admin

my session properties:

in my web.config file i put this snippet:

 <authentication mode="Windows" />
    <authorization>
      <allow  users = "Lamloumi" />
      <deny users="?"/>
    </authorization>

when i launch the application, i can't access to it.

Try to use this:

<configuration>
<authentication mode="Windows" />
  <system.web>
    <authorization>
      <allow  users = "Lamloumi" />
      <deny users="?"/>
    </authorization>
  </system.web>
</configuration>

You mean `Web.config` file? – Lamloumi Afif Sep 11 '13 at 11:09
No i didn't create a user , it is an asp.net mvc4 from the scratch and i changed the authentification and authorization tags – Lamloumi Afif Sep 11 '13 at 11:13
