ASP.NET user authentication/authorization

[dominosrob]

Hi all!

I want to be able to use loginviews to display different content based on who is logged in. I am using a remote system to handle user logins and it will send back a token and a "yes" or "no" depending on whether the user is valid. So, my login.aspx page handles the redirection and the server response.

What I would like to do is: once I get a response back, programmatically login the user giving them the proper rights.

I have created two users (admin and user) using the ASP Website Administration Tool and two roles (admin and user), each user is part of their role, respectively.

I have tried creating users in the web.config and then calling

FormsAuthentication.Authenticate("username", "password")

which returns TRUE,

but then when I check:

User.Identity.IsAuthenticated

it is still false

Any ideas as to how I can actually get a user logged in so that the loginview will show content accordingly?

Thanks!!
