Framework 1.1 and Forms Authentication

Hi,

I have different asp.net applications as sub applications within an application and was using Framework 1.0. And I use forms authentication across the applications. In the web.config file of outer application I have

<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms name=".ASPXAUTH" loginUrl="Default.aspx" path="/" timeout="20"/>
</authentication>

While in the web.config of the Sub applications I have

<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms name=".ASPXAUTH" loginUrl="../Default.aspx" timeout="20"/>
</authentication>

So I was able to access the pages in the Sub applications as long I was authenticated.

Now when I upgrade to Framework 1.1, this does not work. I able to login, but not able to access any pages in the sub application. When I try to reach to any page in the sub application, it simply throws me back to defualt page. For some reason the sub applications are not recognizing the aspxauth cookie.

I would appreciate any response in this regard.

Thanks.
 
Set the name="" to the same name - DONE

Config File <machineKey>
Set the validationKey to the same value in each app
Set the decryptionKey to the same value in each app
(see help file)

NOTE: This will still not allow passing session values back and forth, but
it will allow a user to be authed in two apps. The apps do not have to be
web and subweb either.

Thanks Greg.
It works but my session does not time out in 20 min. I have this in each of my apps.

<forms name=".ASPXAUTH" loginUrl="Default.aspx" path="/" protection="All" timeout="20"/>

Thanks in advance.
