forms authentication with loginurl on a remote machine contd

Hermit Dave

Steven,

Just a quick query.... in the two apps i have... it works fine on my local
machine... but was talking to someone who was implementing a very similar
method.... and it was then that i noticed... that the returnURL value...
when it was forwarded to secure application contained
"/virtualdir/virtualdir2/index.aspx"
This would mean that in a scenario like mine.. where the second app is on a
different server i would have to set a manual redirection to the first
applicaton... (cause returnURL is not a fully qualified URL....

however i did notice... that passport authentication (i know its a totally
different mechanism) but the returnURL is indeed fully qualified...

Was also reading some posts earlier when someone mentioned that the behavior
was indeed very similar till beta 1 but was later on change to not have full
URL
would appreciate you comments on this...

PS: still havent tried it on my live servers (messed up the permissions on
db and am waiting for it to be restored... )

Steven,

I had already set the machine key value for one of the apps... all i had to do was use the same machine key and authentication across.
all i did was just copied the web.config file over to the other place...

yes i am already using authenticaiton and role info stored in the db and am hashing the password before storage during registration.

And it did work just fine on my local dev machine with two different apps.

The only difference in web.config files is that the loginurl for one of the app specifies the absolute url of second apps authentication module.
And the authentication ticket is being shared across the apps...
I still havent uploaded the to the webservers... am making some changes in
registration and would like to test it out before i put it up...

Thanks a lot.... i havent had a chance to read those articles just yet but
will do...
Till next time...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
