I'm not getting to hang of the entire FormAuthentication thing. Is there an up-to-date tutorial somewhere? I found this one, but it a bit old and the syntax doesn't match recent Asp.Net MVC. ...
I reach my login page with the parameter "returnUrl" set to the URL I was on. Then, I login via OpenID (DotNetOpenAuth), and call FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(). The login is successful, however I am not returned to the original page I was on. I'm having the same problem on logout - when I log out I don't remain on the same...
I have been scratching my head on this for a while now but still can't get it. I'm trying to simply log in a user in an MVC2 application. I have tried everything that I know to try but still can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Here are a few things that I have tried: FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie( emailAddress, rememberMe ); v...
I have a testproject and the forms timeout specified in web.config overrules the timeout which I set in FormsAuthenticationTicket. According the documentation, the timeout (expire date) in FormsAuthenticationTicket must override the timeout in web.config. Documentation found on: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910443 If the ticket is ge...
I've used the UrlRewriting.Net module for a couple years now without any problems in Windows XP and Windows 2003. I just recently upgraded my home PC to Windows 7 and started developing a new website. The plan was to use .html extensions and rewrite them to their .aspx counterparts using the UrlRewriting.Net module. Everything works fla...
Hi, I have a website with in ASP.NET working fine. However, it becomes really annoy after a while that username/password needs to be re-entered every time even in our dev environment.

I browsed the source code of FormsAuthentication, and noticed it ends in context.Response.Redirect(strUrl, false); The 'false' parameter stands for "don't terminate execution of the current page". Why wouldn't a call to FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage() need to terminate viewing the current page? What is the correct behavi...
We're running SQL Server Reporting Services 2005 (SSRS) with a custom security extension to integrate with our ASP.NET's Forms Authentication, and are seeing a peculiar problem on one environment only.

I have two domains, domain1.com and domain2.com pointing at the same asp.net website which uses asp.net build in form authentication.

I have an ASP.NET web application that uses Forms Authentication. In the web.config, the forms authentication timeout value is set to "20" (which I understand to be 20 minutes). We're seeing an issue where you'll be interacting with the site..(i.e. clicking on linkbuttons, performing postbacks, etc.) and randomly get sent back to the L...
I am experiencing a strange problem with asp.net forms authentication. This problem only occurs for 3 users out of 30+ users that have successfully logged in. I am using very basic auth code that I have used many times and have never seen this problem. After the users successfully authenticates and the auth cookie is created, cookie a...

I have a website that I would like to allow both Forms and Windows Auth for. My problem is that it seems that when you setup IIS to allow both anonymous (Required for forms auth) and Windows auth that the browser won't send the user's network credentials. It just uses the anonymous login. Is there any way either in IE8 or IIS to have it...
Here's the situation - Most of this ASP.NET Web Forms application (which uses a single master page for all pages) with Forms Authentication, has a standard session timeout, but there are some "modes" where we store an encoded cookie that links the user to their account. I would like to manually check early on in the page lifecycle for t...
Hi, We have created a custom membership provider that we are using in one of our applications and now I would like to use the same provider for all our applications so that you only have to login once and stay logged in when you switch between applications. Just by using the same provider in web.config for different applications doesnt...
