I keep getting the same message "Your login attempt was not successful. Please try again." after I tried to login many times. The database named ASPNETDB was successfully created in the App_Data folder of the application. Still, I get the same error message.
Do you have any idea why I keep getting on it?
I am using Membership provider in my webapp and I have this problem too.
I was able to login last time. but now this message appears:
Your login attempt was not successful. Please try again.
when I tried to login in Firefox I logged in successfully!!
It seems to be a problem with IE.
I did following jobs to solve the problem but they weren't usefull.
- I deleted offline, cookies and history of IE.
- restart IIS.
- reboot my computer!
I had the same problem although in my case I had copied the app to another developer machine; still, the following may help you. I got this tip from my post on the problems.
I had the same problem... You just have to check out your permissions.
Try this:
1. In Windows Explorer, right-click on your App_Data folder (I'm supposing you're using MDF files in App_Data folder) and go to
Properties>Security tab. (If you're using WXPPro and can't see this one, just go
Tools > Folder Options > View tab and disable "Simple Sharing" option - the last one. This option is not available in WXPHome)
2. Add user **YOURMACHINENAME**\ASPNET.
3. Grant to this user the Modify/Write permission.
4. Apply to all subsequent files in folder.
* Maybe you must need to check also the ASPNET user hasn't denied the write permission.
I am aso having the same problem, please read the details below.
I have a standard Login ASP.NET 2.0 control on a login Page, a LoginName and LoginStatus controls on the member's page.
once the user login successfully I am redirecting the user to Member.aspx page. The following is my machine configuration

visual Studio 2005

I had this problem too. I tried everything stated above, and still no success.
Resolved it by simply rebuilding the website from scratch under a new project. Started with the simplest site, ie, a login page and a test.htm and membership storage of user info in ASPNETDB.MDF, and tested access to the test.htm with and without a correct
password, ensuring login worked when it should. Then added functionality in easily reversed steps until login failed. Then reversed the offending step and put bits back until I found each problem. On eliminating each problem continued until my site was
working!
So, if you can't find the answer here, I suggest you just bite the bullet and follow the above process. I only took a few hours in the end. Once you've done so, you can do everyone a favour and detail here exactly what had caused the problem!
In my case, the issues preventing login were as follows:
- Web.Config Attribute:
<system.web>
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms
path="/"
...simply removing the path attribute allowed login to succeed.
- Login control attribute:
OnAuthenticate="Login_Authenticate"
...even when the function contains no code! This function was created when I double clicked on the Login control. I had anticipated this would allow me to create and use a function to run on authentication by the control, but apparently not. This is
counterintuitive, as double clicking on a button control DOES give you a function that runs on clicking the button, and doesn't kill the button.
Enjoy your programming!

PS I would like to say thank you! I really appreciate having you all bouncing issues around here as you do, as your info has taught me plenty that is not documented in the various books I've been reading.
My solution was to grant the USERS group on the server the rights to modyfy and write to de App_Data folder. It wasn't enought with granting the ASPNET user.

I am attempting the active directory membership provider in my app. I haven't been able to successfully login - I keep getting this error message.
It will be interesting to finally figure out what the fix is.

This worked fine for me, hope this helps.

I am Using form authentication, and I am getting following error "Your login attempt was not successful. Please try again".
To debug,I am displaying the follwoing properties
Membership.ValidateUser(Login1.UserName, Login1.Password) : - True
HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name : - // is blank
FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName : - SqlAuthCookie
FormsAuthentication.CookieDomain :- // is blank
FormsAuthentication.CookieMode :- UseCookies
FormsAuthentication.CookiesSupported :- True
FormsAuthentication.DefaultUrl :- /webIT/default.aspx
FormsAuthentication.EnableCrossAppRedirects :- False
FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName :- SqlAuthCookie
FormsAuthentication.FormsCookiePath :- /
FormsAuthentication.LoginUrl :- /webIT/ASPX/Security/Login.aspx
FormsAuthentication.RequireSSL :- False
FormsAuthentication.SlidingExpiration :- True
User.Identity.IsAuthenticated :- False
User.Identity.Name :- // is blank
User.Identity.AuthenticationType :- // is blank
Is it something to do with the security of Windows XP Pro ? or a IIS 5.1? Any help will be highly appreciated.

Hi all,
I had this problem too. I tried everything stated above, and still no success.
Resolved it by simply rebuilding the website from scratch under a new project. Started with the simplest site, ie, a login page and a test.htm and membership storage of user info in ASPNETDB.MDF, and tested access to the test.htm with and without a correct password, ensuring login worked when it should. Then added functionality in easily reversed steps until login failed. Then reversed the offending step and put bits back until I found each problem. On eliminating each problem continued until my site was working!
So, if you can't find the answer here, I suggest you just bite the bullet and follow the above process. I only took a few hours in the end. Once you've done so, you can do everyone a favour and detail here exactly what had caused the problem!
In my case, the issues preventing login were as follows:

...simply removing the path attribute allowed login to succeed.
- Login control attribute:

...even when the function contains no code! This function was created when I double clicked on the Login control. I had anticipated this would allow me to create and use a function to run on authentication by the control, but apparently not. This is counterintuitive, as double clicking on a button control DOES give you a function that runs on clicking the button, and doesn't kill the button.
