ASP.NET login attemps log?

Question

How can I get/build a log of login attemps in an ASP.NET site?

Is there a hook I can use in the Form Authentication configuration to get this automatically (as opposed to saving manually some record in a database?)

Answer 1

In the websites I work on, this gets saved as part of the login code. If there is a "business logic layer" it goes there, else it goes in the data layer.

Answer 2

You can use ASP.NET Health Monitoring, you can subscribe to WebAuthenticationSuccessAuditEvent and WebAuthenticationFailureAuditEvent.
