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
Windows XP Pro Service Pack2
IIS 5.1
SQL Server 2000
visual Studio 2005
DISABLE ANONMYOUS ACCESS IN IIS
ENABLE WINDOWS AUTHENTICATION
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.
