VB Login page problem?

Dam6 · Jun 24, 2005

Okay...
Using vb .net within DW MX2004, connecting to an access database:

Background: I have created a simple login.aspx page that is supposed to
re-direct to default.aspx using FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage.
The data is correct from testing the dataset etc and the page also informs
me that I have entered an incorrect user / password.

Problem:
When I go to http://localhost/Modify/Login.aspx and enter the username and
password the url returns
http://localhost/Modify/login.aspx?ReturnUrl=/Modify/default.aspx and
does not take me to any other page???

Code:
WEB.CONFIG:

<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off" />
<authentication mode = "Forms">
<forms name = " .SECAUTH " loginUrl="login.aspx">
<credentials />
</forms>
</authentication>
<authorization>
<deny users="?" />
</authorization>
</system.web>

LOGIN PAGE:

<%@ Page Language="VB" ContentType="text/html" ResponseEncoding="iso-8859-1"
%>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="MM" Namespace="DreamweaverCtrls"
Assembly="DreamweaverCtrls,version=1.0.0.0,publicKeyToken=836f606ede05d46a,culture=neutral"

Hi

You should never use your login page as your entry url.
http://localhost/Modify/Default.aspx. The forms authentication will redirect
the user to Login.aspx. Then once the user is authenicated they will be
returned to Default.aspx once you issue the
"FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(txtUserName.Text, false)"
request.
Hope this helps.

I did think of that... But the default.aspx page is inside the directory
that has been locked by the config file? Will look at what you've said
(Which makes sense!) and try differing things...

Dave,

Today I opened the default.aspx page that resides outside of the folder
where login.aspx resides. Created a link to login.aspx and the index.aspx
page etc.
Clicking on either brings forth the login page. Once I enter the user/pass
and press enter nothing happens apart from the top url changing

http://localhost/Modify/login.aspx?ReturnUrl=/Modify/default.aspx

still no re-direction.

Found what was wrong from the books appended mistakes page while looking on
the web:

forms name = " SECAUTH " loginUrl="login.aspx">
not
forms name = " .SECAUTH " loginUrl="login.aspx">

take out the full stop and it all works.
