Default page code

[John]

Hi

What code I need on the default page to call login page if the current user
is not authenticated/loggedin and carry on if the user is
authenticated/loggedin?

Thanks

Regards

I suggest you read about the authentication model for asp.net. It sounds
like you are probably using Forms authentication, meaning a login page where
you check against your own datastore.

Some urls:
(ASP.NET v1.1)
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...-us/vsent7/html/vxconASPNETAuthentication.asp

ASP.NET v2.0)
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnpag2/html/paght000012.asp

Cheers!

Forms Authentication is usually your best bet in ASP.NET.
It is easily configured in your web.config file.
Here's more information:

It all looks quite complicated. I guess my needs are much simpler for the
form authentication method that I am using. I am using the following code in
Page_Load in of Default.aspx.

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Handles Me.Load
If not User.Identity.IsAuthenticated Then
' Call login.aspx, how?
End If
End Sub

I just need to know if the current user in not authenticated how should I
call the login page? Am I on the right lines?

Thanks

well you could do it that way, but i wouldn't recommend it.

you can set a page or folder as requiring authentication in web.config.
asp.net will automatically redirect to login page if user is not
authenticated, and back to that page after they login.

Don't get discouraged. It's not very hard.
It's mostly just setting a few config values and the rest is mostly
automatic.
One of the links was broken, here's the working one:
