MVC - Enabling Forms Authentication

Question

Hi,

I have MVC 1.0 app with VS2008.

I have added configuration to web.config but the app crashes in the Default.aspx page code behind. Dont know why its loading that page.

I am just uing all the default setup for MVC 1.0.

This is my webconfig. Shouldn't it show my login page with this config????

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
  <system.web>
    <httpHandlers>
      <add path="*" verb="*"
          type="System.Web.HttpNotFoundHandler"/>
    </httpHandlers>

    <!--
        Enabling request validation in view pages would cause validation to occur
        after the input has already been processed by the controller. By default
        MVC performs request validation before a controller processes the input.
        To change this behavior apply the ValidateInputAttribute to a
        controller or action.

Answer 1

The default template project in ASP.NET MVC does have support for User Accounts, including Forms Authentication, creating users etc. Take a look at the template project and copy/get inspiration from their configuration file and AccountController.
