Specify login page other than Login.aspx

[vikramp]

Hi,

I am trying to learn new membership/roles features of ASP.NET 2.0.
When we setup forms authentication and specify deny users="?" under
authorization, the application asks for login.
My problem is: It always looks for Login.aspx page by default. What if
the name of my login page is different than Login.aspx? Where do I
specify the name of my login page?

thanks.

You need to set the loginUrl attribute in your web.config, e.g.

<configuration>
<system.web>
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms
loginUrl="~/myLogin.aspx"
</forms>
</authentication>
</system.web>
</configuration>
