Login Redirect

[IdleBrain]

Hello All:
I used a Login control to authenticate a user to login. The problem is
that when I login with good username & password, the login view would
say that the login was successful.

But for some reason the login control does not redirect the control to
DestinationPage Url.
Even when I hardcoded to redirect to another page, it still remains in
the same page on successful login.

Does anyone know what is going wrong here?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Brain,

Have you handled Authenticate event? You must change
AuthenticateEve ntArgs.Authenti cated member to tell the control credentials
are valid.

protected void Login1_Authenti cate(object sender, AuthenticateEve ntArgs e)
{
Login login = (Login) sender;

e.Authenticated =
(String.Compare (login.UserName , "brain", true) == 0) &&
(String.Compare (login.Password , "password") == 0);
}

hope this helps

Thanks Milosz for your reply..

Unfortunately your solution didnot seem to work for me.
I am using VB script with ASP 2.0. I use the Configuration manager to
create the users and I am not exactly sure how your code would work. I
explicity set the e.Authenticated = true. But even that it didnot work.
I see that the login control is redirecting the control to the page I
wanted to go on successful login. This page is again redirecting the
control to the login page with a return url.
I am not sure if IE is doing it. (Cookies)
Thanks agian.
