Forms authentication problems on application restart

If a user has logged in via Forms Authentication and is currently
viewing a page that is in a protected directory, then a change is made
to Web.config (which causes the application to restart) if that user
then attempts to follow a link embedded in the protected page to
another protected page, an application error occurs instead of the user
being redirected to the login page. During the debug process it seems
that an Application_End event does not destroy the AuthTicket which the
user holds. Even if FormsAuthentica tion.SignOut() is called on
Application_End in Global.asax.cs the result is the same.

Has anyone else experienced this problem and if so is there a
work-around?

I have a website which has both secure and non-secure pages. I want to uses forms authentication. How do I accomplish this? Originally I had my web.config file in the root with Forms Authentication set up and it worked just fine. Then I realized that I needed to have some pages unsecure. I then created 2 directories. One named Secure and the other named Public. I placed my web.config file in my

Hi, I've created a little site for my sports club. In the root folder there are pages that are viewable by every anonymous user but at a certain subfolder my administration pages should be protected by forms authentication. When I create forms authentication at root level it works but when I move my code up to the subfolder I get this error: Server Error in '/TestProjects/FormsAuthenticationTestingArea' Application.

Hi I am using role base forms authentication in asp.net and have come across a problem that I would like advice on. On a successful login a session variable is set to identify a user. This is all good as this session variable is used to retrieve data for that user etc. However if I restart the webserver then the users session is lost but the ticket is still active. Therefore the user is not redirected back to the login page.

Hi, I noticed weird behaviour with the site that is using forms authentication. I am logged to the site from the same machine from two browsers (opened separately, not ctrl-N) as different users so two sessions are created. Then from the one window I logoff but I'm automatically logouted also from the other browser window. Why? It is strange that it is working OK if I'm doing it on the same machine where the web server is located.

Is there any way to dynamically set the timeout while using forms based authentication? I want to change this value depending on the type of user that logs into my system. I understand that this value lives in the config file but can I change it in code? Thanks, -Andy

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

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,...
