.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / June 2008How authenticate user manually?
I have a subdir called "customer" that only allows authenticated users (using web.config.) In my login.aspx I allow them to pass username/password in query string. Then I go to a default page. Am I doing this right? It doesn't seem to authenticate in IE6, only IE7 and Firefox. If Membership.ValidateUser(request.querystring("User"), request.querystring("Pwd")) Then FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(request.querystring("User"), True) Response.Redirect("customer/MySecuredPage.aspx") End If If I run the same code in IE6, passing it a valid username & password, I get auto redirected back to the login page, as if it's not authenticated. Any idea what's wrong???? > In my login.aspx I allow them to pass username/password in query string. Firstly, please say you don't actually pass the username AND password in a query string...  SignatureMark Rae ASP.NET MVP http://www.markrae.net This is a company "internal" webapplication that is tied into a phone answering system. The phone answering system auto logs in the operator. It's NEVER seen to the users. It's necessary for this application. >> In my login.aspx I allow them to pass username/password in query string. > > Firstly, please say you don't actually pass the username AND password in a > query string... >>> In my login.aspx I allow them to pass username/password in query string. >> [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > answering system.

Could it be that IE6 has been configured not to accept cookies, even Session cookies...? SignatureMark Rae ASP.NET MVP http://www.markrae.net Thanks. I believe this fixed the issue... I added forms timeout to web.config section... <authentication mode="Forms"> <forms timeout="180"/> </authentication> Does this make sense as to why this would work? >>>> In my login.aspx I allow them to pass username/password in query >>>> string.
