Forms based authentication again

Hi!

I have implemented forms based authentication in one of my web projects. It
finally works. The problem is that I have another project in a directory
underneath this project. This project of course has its own web.config etc.
I've modified the web.config file in the "sub project" like this:

<authenticati on mode="Forms">

<forms name=".Project1 " loginUrl="/logon.aspx" protection="All " path="/"
timeout="30" />

</authentication>

<authorizatio n>

<deny users ="?" />

<allow users = "*" />

</authorization>

It appears to works since I'm redirected to the login page when I try to
access pages in the subfolder but when I key in the login and password I
don't get redirected. Does anyone know why this might happen?

Best regards

Morten

I have built a web app that uses forms authentication. There isn't a "remember me" feature (i.e. the authentication cookie is not permanent). When you close the browser, and open a new one, you must log in again. This is the behavior I expected. I just discovered that if I have a browser window open (to anything) prior to opening my web app in a new browser window, it appears to share session information. I can then open and close my...

I have forms based authentication working, using my Active Directory for authentication. I have a web page that creates a user in active directory. When I was using IIS authentication it worked fine, now it doesn't. I'm assuming it's running in the context of the IIS anonymous user. How can I get it to run as the user that logged in with the forms based authentication? --

Hi everybody: I'm trying to use forms-based authentication in my web application and it works quite fine when I put web.config file in the root of my web directory. But this results that all users make to login into the site which is not desired. Obviously there are some parts in the root of the web directory which must be allowed to public users. Actually I want a specific folder like "Admin" be protected merely. When I put the web.config...

Hi, we've got a strange problem here: We've created an ASP.NET 2.0 web application using Membership.ValidateUser() to manually authenticate users with our website. The problem is: If the user has the "User must change password" flag set in Active Directory, ValidateUser() always returns false if that user wants to log in.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
