I have a  strange problem:

A simple virtual directory with  a login control in login.aspx and a default.aspx.

The web.config  has AD connection string.

When I access the folder using Fire Fox, it works normal: login.aspx --> input credentials --> default.aspx.

But when I use IE: 6 or 7, the login does nothing: it just sits there doing nothing, I do not get the hour glass also ?? It is like there s/be something for the onClick event  for the button and there is nothing??

It sounds like the problem is with IE not the website, have you tried it from another computer using IE?

Hi,

Make sure that all the following conditions are met in your app:

1. Make sure that default.aspx is set as start page.

2. Make sure you BLogin_Click event looks like this and there is a Redirect to the start page as shown below

else

Msg.Text = "Username or password not found.";

Response.Redirect("Denied.aspx");

else

if(System.Convert.ToInt32(ViewState["Attempts"])>=3)

<forms loginUrl="Login.aspx" protection="All" timeout="20">

</authentication>

I Hope this helps.

Please remember to MARK AS ANSWER if my reply helped you.

Hi

You mean this website authenticates user against Active Directory? Please correct me if any misunderstanding.

 Yes, I am authenticating against Active Directory.
 Very strange: the login pages has images/logos etc: nothing fancy: just some GIFs and a menu: hyper-linked. The menu links are broken: right now I am not worried about this as these would get fixed on production.

I tried removing all the images/h-refs. It comes up. Not really sure if the broken links caused this. I would do more testing.

Any suggestions ?

thanks, 

 I think I found this. ASPX will allow only 1 form per page. My page had 2 forms: one for a search(generic site search) as part of standard header. I wanted this site to be with min maintenance, one login + 1 default. By just copying the header html to the login did not work for IE. Firefox does not care. So I had to make the header a control, registered the tag ... etc. It works now!.
