Forms authentication/mulitple web projects

Molly J. Fagan

Hello--

I'm using forms authentication and have 2 web projects located under
the same root directory. In the web.config of the second project, I
have

<authenticati on mode="Forms">
<forms name=".ASPXAUTH " loginUrl="../BHUser/login.aspx" />
</authentication>

which points to the login.aspx located in the startup project.

In testing, if a user pulls up a page in the second project without
logging in, they are directed to the login page but continue to be
redirected to the login page even when using a valid user name and
password.

I am not sure what to put in to correct this or where to put it. Any
help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

2 web projects are separate web applications. They can't share
authentication information. You need to come up with your own way to
authenticate users accross web apps. One way to do it is to store logged in
users in a database and have both application access it.

Thanks for responding. This is the case even when the 2 projects are
in the same solution?

Forms Authentication without a Cookie?

by: Harry Whitehouse | last post by:

I've got a fairly simple forms authentication project (a login page and a single secure page), but a number of users (~25%) can't seem to get past the login.aspx step. I theorized that this might have to do with their browser's cookie setting. I had been using cookies to store session state and logon parameters (user option), but I completely eliminated them using the SQLServer session management approach. But now, with my test browser...

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,...
