I have an application that i reference as https://domain.com/app If i click that link, i inevitably get directed to https://domain.com/app/login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2app

But then i authenticate and it takes me back to the login page with this address https://domain.com/app Then i authenticate again, and it finally go into the application.

HOWEVER, if i go straight to https://domain.com/app/default.aspx in the broswer, it only makes me authenticate once and then takes me straight to the default. What gives?

I figured it out...Under the default documents on the application on the server, i had login.aspx above default.aspx. I deleted everything but default.aspx and it goes straight in as predicted.
