Authentication

[fayazmd]

Hi,

I have created a login web page with C#. I am validating the username and password successfully. After logging in welcome page is displayed. But if you are changing the url in address bar with welcome.aspx, without logging in, the welcome page is opening. It should not be opened. I think i have to change web.config authentication mode to forms. But its not working.


Can any body send web.config code for this issue.

You could add a session variable when a user is logged in. Then on your welcome page check to see if the session variable is != null. If it is null the user has not logged in yet. Redirect them to the login page.

Thanks. I got theory point, but i dont know how to impliment in code.

I edited my web.config with following

<authenticati on mode= "Forms">
<forms name=".ASPXAUTH " loginUrl="Login .aspx" />
</authentication>

<authorizatio n>
<deny users="?" />
</authorization>

and even though i logged in with correct username & password, it is redirecting to login page only.

How to impliment forms authentication in my code. And how to log out of mypage.
