  FormsAuthentication.Authenticate always returns false with in asp mvc 4 project

  Dec 29, 2012 12:59 PM|LINK

  For some reason this FormsAuthentication.Authenticate always returns false when I put in the correct details. However the

   Membership.CreateUser(model.UserName, model.Password, model.Email, null, null, true, null,
                                        out status);

  works and saves stuff in the db

  public bool Authenticate(string username, string password, bool rememberMe) {
  
              bool result = FormsAuthentication.Authenticate(username, password);
              if (result) {
                  FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(username, rememberMe);
              }
              return result;
          }

  
  
  

  I've set up the web confg like this;

     <authentication mode="Forms">
        <forms loginUrl="~/Account/LogOn" timeout="2880" />
      </authentication>
      <membership>
        <providers>
          <clear />
          <add name="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider" type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider" connectionStringName="AspMembership" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="true" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" requiresUniqueEmail="true" maxInvalidPasswordAttempts="5" minRequiredPasswordLength="6" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0" passwordAttemptWindow="10" applicationName="/" />
        </providers>
      </membership>
      <profile>
        <providers>
          <clear />
          <add name="AspNetSqlProfileProvider" type="System.Web.Profile.SqlProfileProvider" connectionStringName="AspMembership" applicationName="/" />
        </providers>
      </profile>
      <roleManager enabled="true">
        <providers>
          <clear />
          <add connectionStringName="AspMembership" applicationName="/" name="AspNetSqlRoleProvider" type="System.Web.Security.SqlRoleProvider" />
          <add applicationName="/" name="AspNetWindowsTokenRoleProvider" type="System.Web.Security.WindowsTokenRoleProvider" />
        </providers>
      </roleManager>

  FormsAuthentication.Authenticate doesn't use the provider model -- it checks usernames and passwords stored under the <forms> element in the .config file.
