redirection limit for this url exceeded

[bruce]

How does the URL differ between the orginal page (no login attempt) and after you tried to login w/ the incorrect password?

The page doesn't differ - if a user enters an incorrect password, the page displays a message with that information. I have it posting back to itself rather than going to a 'result' page.

I just discovered that this problem is also ocurring on the registration page. What I did was the following ... I created a user account for you so you could see the problem. I get a successful registration message (the details do get entered into the database), however, when I try to click on the 'login' link it produces the same error as mentioned earlier.

FYI: The username I created for you is 'bruce' with the password 'bruce' - eliminate the quotes. The url to the site is http://beta-158644.server1.dotnetsandbox.net/

What I also noticed is that after the error occurs, any attempt to navigate to any page also produces the error, so even if I stop IE or FireFox from trying to go to the redirect I cannot navigate to any other page in the website using one of the href links on the page. Even if I close the browser window and go back to the site it will not work. I have to make sure that every FireFox window is closed and then open a new FireFox window before it works again.

thanks for your help Bruce,
Dan

This is an recent error I've been getting on server1.dotnetsandbox.net.

The problem occurs when I follow the following procedure:
1. go to the login screen from the intial default page.
2. attempt to login with an incorret password.
3. attempt to login with a correct password.

If I log-in with the correct password then there's no problem. I've checked the settings in the <authorization> section of the web.config and they were set to allow all users. I then removed the section. Neither action resolved the problem.

Some reading I've done mentions a loop on a redirect, so I took out the redirects in the script and only let the href links and I still get the error.

IE continuously loops, however FireFox shows the error I've listed in the subject.
any ideas?

thanks in advance,
Dan

Hi Bruce,

No I haven't resolved the issue yet. I've also tested it on two computers and received the same problem. So ...

1. you were able to attempt a login with an incorrect password and received the error message I created.
2. you then attempted another login with the correct password and successfully entered the sight within a few seconds?

Hi Bruce,

I just resolved the issue by adding a Session.Clear(); statement at the end of the incorrect password process. I don't understand why that would have thrown it off, but it did resolve the issue.

Thanks for your follow-up,
Dan
