Form authentication

[Dan Aldean]

Hello,

I try to use Form Authentication and I code this in Web.config:

<authentication mode="Forms" >

<forms name="appNameAuth" path="/" loginUrl="login.aspx" />

</authentication>



I also add a new WEB form as the login.aspx.

When I run the application it ignores the login form and it goes directly to
the main WEB form.

What is the meaning of the: name="appNameAuth"? Should it be part of the
main WEB form?

Is it something I miss?

Thanks.

Dan,
Why not take a look at the ASP.NET Quckstarts for this.

ASP.NET 1.1:
http://samples.gotdotnet.com/quickstart/aspplus/doc/formsauth.aspx

ASP.NET 2.0
http://www.asp.net/QuickStart/aspnet/doc/security/formsauth.aspx

The Quickstarts apps install with Visual Studio and with the .NET Framework
SDK, or you can use the online versions above.

If you get in the habit of looking there first for "the basics" I think you
may be able to save yourself a lot of time.
