Automatic Redirection from login page to previous page

[pentahari]

Redirect to login page if session("UserNa me") is expired when the page useraccount.asp x load event


My useraccount.asp x code :

If Session("UserName") Is Nothing Then
    Response.Redirect("../login/login.aspx")
End If

The above code works correctly. but my question is the user enter the correct username and password in the login.aspx page . it will automatically redirect to previous page (useraccount.as px; useraccount.asp x is the sample name of the page but i have used the session redirect coding to many pages in my project).

Did you make sure to set Session("UserNa me") equal to some value after a successful login? If you forgot to set it, its value would still be Nothing.

Sure. I have assign the value to session variable.

You can try to lock the login by directory. For this you will need to modify your web.config to specify which folder is login restricted and what url is the login page. Once you have done this, normally the redirect is handled by IIS which I would recommend.


Another option for you is to add the url from which you are directing to the login url as a variable in the url / in a session. On successful login, redirect to that variable url if availlable otherwise the default page. Though I would recommend using the first method!

Even easier is to use membership class of .net 2.0. HTH.

Thanks for yours post.

I have solved the problems by store the current page URL to session variable when checking the session expiry, and it call back from after successful login.

I have found the easy way to this problem.

pass the current URL as query string to login page when the check session expiry operation.

Glad to hear that it worked out for you. Though for future you might want to check my other option as it is url encodes the url for you automatically!
