ASP.NET 1.1 password recovery

[jeffg]

I have a web site that I use forms authentication on. I am trying to
implement a password recovery tool, but am unable to get beyond the login
screen to get to my PasswordRecovery page.

My forms authentication is set up in the web config file as follows:

<authentication mode="Forms">

<forms name=".App1"
loginUrl="modules/login/login.aspx"
protection="All"
timeout="30"
path="/"
/>

</authentication>

I have placed a link button on the login page for "Forgot Password" which
will transfer to RecoverPassword.aspx. The page will transfer and will show
my RecoverPassword.aspx page, but when I try to execute anything on the page
(a button to lookup something in the database) my page reverts to my login
page. What am I missing? Is there a place I can set my permissions to allow
the RecoverPassword.aspx page to execute prior to authenticating?

Hi Jeff,

You can allow the RecoverPassword.aspx to execute prior authenticating by
this:

<configuration>
<location path="~/RecoverPassword.aspx">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="*" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>

If you still have problems make it working, please post your full
web.config and some of your login code.

Sincerely,
