FormsAuthentica tion - Weird Behaviour

Hi,

I have VS2003.NET, XP Pro and SQL 2000. The .NET framework is 1.1 The
problem I am having with the source code is that I cannot authenticate any
user. The sproc returns the user name from database which also means that
the user should be authenticated. It runs the SetAuthCookie method with
success. The resulting page is no different than the initial page. The login
component is still there. When I try to access an admin page directly it
cannot find any cookie. IIS for sure uses 1.1 framework. The browser
security is at minimum and accepts all kind of cookies. Do you think that
this hass something to do with web.config settings. A workmate of mine
mentioned that there has been some changes in web.config structure from 1.0
to 1.1 and it may affect the forms authentication process.

Your help is highly appreciated in this urgent problem.

Thanks

ch

P.S. Just to try, I created a new web project and put a label on a page
which shows Request.IsAuthe nticated.ToStri ng() and a loginUrl having a
single button which onclick runs FormsAuthentica tion.SetAuthCoo kie(). Before
and after clicking the button label shows false.

just go step by step
monitoring from login ,in the temp internet files
whether the cookie is set ,
on set method
a cookie is stored in there
and on signout it is removed ....
so just observe there..

When you call FormsAuthentication.SignOut(), is the FormsAuthentication cookie supposed to be destroyed automatically? I'm creating my FormsAuthentication cookie by doing: HttpCookie oCookie = new HttpCookie(FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName, sTicket); where sTicket is an encrypted FormsAuthenticationTicket. When I create the FormsAuthenticationTicket, I set its isPersistent property to false.

Hi there, I was wondering if anyone would be able to shed some light on the following behaviour for me. I have an application that is using Forms Authentication with non-persistent cookies, a forms timeout of 10 minutes, and a FormsAuthenticationTicket Expiration of 10 minutes. Almost everything is working as expected... when users try to enter restricted parts of the site they are redirected to the login.aspx page that I have...

Hi, i am using forms authentication in an ASP.NET project I am setting the Forms authentication cookie by using: FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(UserName.Text, false); Now when i review my trace on my page, there are two cookies created that look identical. When i FormsAuthentication.SignOut() they both dissappear. Any ideas as to why two cookies are created?

I setup FormsAuthentication on a couple websites where it has been working as expected for a long time. I used this code to setup the same type of authentication on a new website I am working on and the Cookie Name is not getting setup the same way. In my Web.config file, I use the following basic settings on both the old and new websites: <authentication mode="Forms"> <forms name="SiteAuth" loginUrl="Logon.aspx" protection="All"

Hello; I use in my web application FormsAuthentication. Also I use Session state (InProc). When a user logged in, I can read Session parameters. (For example Session). Problem is that, when user close the browser window then open a new browser, FormsAuthentication reads from cookie and user logs in. Althought user logged in, session parameter is null.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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,...
