FormsAuthentica tion.RedirectFr omLoginPage

When you have authenticated a user and you call
FormsAuthentica tion.RedirectFr omLoginPage, how does it know what is the
default page that it is supposed to redirect to? The page I want it to
redirect to upon successful login is main.aspx, but it just says that
default.aspx does not exist.

How do I change it so that it tries to redirect to main.aspx instead of
default.aspx?

Hello Mike,

When you enabled forms authentication, you specified the login page,
right?. So, by default, if you try to access any other page in your
application, you will be redirected to the login page. The name of the
that you had requested originally will be persisted (querystring,
maybe, I don't remember). When you call RedirectFromLog inPage, you
should be redirected to the original page.

Are you getting this problem while running from VS.Net, or directly
through browser?
If this is from VS.Net, have you set a start page that is NOT the
login page?
If this is from browser, have you set default page for your web site/
virtual directory in IIS?

Regards,
Jim

You can set the default url to redirect to in the web.config file:
<system.web>
<authenticati on mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="~/login.aspx" defaultUrl="~/main.aspx" />
</authentication>
</system.web>

This will however be ignored if the return url is specified in the
query string on the log in page (as it is when the user is redirected
to the log in page when requesting other page).

I have a logon page that is may be called by the Forms Authentication setup. This would put a ReturnURL as part of the URL. I would normally then just issue a: FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(logon.txt,true) But I also am giving them an option to register which would go to a new page. From this page, when they submit, I want to go the original page they were heading for (ReturnURL) when the went to the logon page.

Hi, For some reason the login.aspx webpage redirects to itself after a successful login and not to the url in the address bar.

Hi, i am using forms authentication in an ASP.NET project I am setting the Forms authentication cookie by using: FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(UserName.Text, false); Now when i review my trace on my page, there are two cookies created that look identical.

Hi, I have a ASP.Net web site, that we sell as a module to our core software, versions of this site are running fine on many servers, however we are having problems with our latest installtion, and it's got me scratching my head. The problem is with FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage, it's running on a brand new Windows 2003 standard server. No matter what I do I cannot log onto the web site. It's as if it's not writing cookies

I setup FormsAuthentication on a couple websites where it has been working as expected for a long time. I used this code to setup the same type of authentication on a new website I am working on and the Cookie Name is not getting setup the same way. In my Web.config file, I use the following basic settings on both the old and new websites: <authentication mode="Forms"> <forms name="SiteAuth" loginUrl="Logon.aspx" protection="All"

I have built a web app. While testing I have found that if I browse to a page in the app, then get redirected to the login page and enter my credentials. The FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage call is redirecting to the default.aspx page rather than the original page the user was at. Here is the details of my application: Web.config: <authentication mode="Forms">
