Hi there,

I have just set up membership and role providers for my asp.net site.

ASP.NET configuration tool is working fine. I can create users, roles and access rules. However my login page does not login.

it does redirect me to the page I clicked login link when I hit login button but I am not really logged in. Login status control still shows "login" and LoginName control shows nothing. When I try to enter wrong password it warns me about it but no further luck...

Any idea how to troubleshoot this?

Thanks in advance.

 You do have the log-in control I am assuming on the page? I know it is a dumb question.

Now also do you have a LoginView Control? a LoginStatus Control and a LoginName Control

You need to have it set up something like this

<asp:LogInView runat="server" id=LoginView1">
<anonymousTemplate>
     You Are Not logged in! 
</anonymousTemplate>
<LoggedinTemplate>
               <asp:LoginName ID="LoginName" runat="server" />
               <asp:LoginStatus ID="LoginStatus" runat="server" />
</LoggedinTemplate>
</asp:LogInView>

Or you can display based upon roles

<asp:LogInView runat="server" id=LoginView1">
<anonymousTemplate>
     You Are Not logged in! 
</anonymousTemplate>
<RoleGroups>
     <RoleGroup Roles="Role1" >
          <contenttemplate>  
               <asp:LoginName ID="LoginName" runat="server" />
               <asp:LoginStatus ID="LoginStatus" runat="server" />
               You are in Role 1
          </contenttemplate>
     </RoleGroup>
     <RoleGroup Roles="Role2" >
          <contenttemplate>  
               <asp:LoginName ID="LoginName" runat="server" />
               <asp:LoginStatus ID="LoginStatus" runat="server" />
               You are in Role 2
          </contenttemplate>
     </RoleGroup>
</RoleGroups>
</asp:LogInView>

If you do this and it still does not log you in then there is something wrong with the database connection

I am writing this to verify that you have all of the correct items in place correctly to see if you are logged in.

Thanks alot for quick reply.

I tried your first code on my default.aspx page. After I redirected from login.aspx I see "You Are Not logged in!"

But this is really strange. When I put the wrong password on login.aspx page it gives me error. When I do everything right it does not tell me anything and it does not log me in!!!

I do not think there is a db connection problem. There must be something else...

 Have you tried deleting the user and recreating it?

I figured out the problem...

in the web.config file there was this code:

<authentication mode="Forms">
       <forms name="appCookie" loginUrl="Login.aspx" path="/admin"
          cookieless="UseCookies" />
    </authentication>

All I had to do is to delete admin from path...

Thanks anyways...
