Forms authentication - Multiple login forms based on directory acc

[Keltex]

I want to use ASP.NET 2.0 forms authentication for my new website. I have two
different distinct types of user roles... "member" and "admin" each should
have access to the /member and /admin directories respectively.

I can make all that work, but the main question I have is with forms
authentication it seems that you can only have ONE default login form for the
entire application. (loginUrl="~/member/Login.aspx") What I would like is to
be able to redirect the user to a different login form based on which area
they are trying to access. For example if a user goes here
/member/default.aspx and is not authenticated, they would be sent to
/member/login.aspx. Likewise, if they are not authenticated and try to access
/admin/default.aspx, they are sent to the login form at /member/login.aspx.

I assume I need to handle via the AuthenticateRequest or
PostAuthenticateRequest application events, but I have no idea where to
start...

Any ideas?

Hi,

this is not possible. You can however detect in your login page from which
area the user is getting forced to login - inspect the ReturnUrl query string.
