ASP.NET is a decade obsolete. You need to add 'aspx' to your google search to find old pages

I think this will do it

Is it possible to give access to all users, not to specific role in the domain.

If you're deploying within a domain, then there's no security needed if everyone can use it. Just deploy on an intranet.

There are 2 parts to using Windows Authentication within a website; Authentication and Authorization.

The way your web.config is setup is to use Windows Authentication, and you are Authorizing All Users from that.

What I believe you want is to not go through that Windows Authentication; so for that directory you would need to set it to Anonymous Authentication

XML

<location path="">
   <system.webServer>
      <security>
         <authentication>
            <anonymousAuthentication enabled="true" />

It does get a little tricky to work with; I would be tempted to make a 1 page website and make it a separate web application that is just "open"
