Forms Authentication not working

Have made all the suggested changes, result is still the same.............

I have spent days reading every asp.net doc and forumn I can find..............

I am at wits end with this one......... any other suggestions?

Could it be something that is missing with my login control?




<%@ Page Language="VB" MasterPageFile="~/MasterPage.master" Title="Yellow Brick Road Tech Login" %>


<script runat="server">


Protected Sub Login1_Authenticate(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.AuthenticateEventArgs)


End Sub


</script>


<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1" Runat="Server">


&amp;nbsp;





<asp:Login ID="Login1" runat="server" DestinationPageUrl="~/k5/default.aspx" DisplayRememberMe="False"


Style="position: relative">


</asp:Login>


</asp:Content>

 

I have been dealing with the DASP folks for days, and they don't seem to know any more than I do on how to resolve this issue.

This really should be something simple, so I must be overlooking something. Issue is obviously that my login control is not looking at my SQL 2005 database in Discount ASP, most likely an issue with the web config. I am getting
"Your login attempt was not successful. Please try again." while using any valid account that is in the database.

See below for the full TT that I submitted and could not be resolved. Any help is appreciated.





am running SQL 2005 developer edition, however I have not created a database, I used Visual Web Developer to connect to my database at DASP

The database info is

"Data Source=tcp:sql2k505.discountasp.net;Initial Catalog=SQL2005_294046_ybr;User ID=SQL2005_294046_ybr_user;Password=******;"

password btw is cecelia

Anyway, when I update my users etc, I can see them in the table both from within Visual Web Developer and via SQL Server Management studio, this would indicate that it is indead updating the tables on my remote SQL database at DASP.

When I try to log on as any user account I get the error
Your login attempt was not successful. Please try again.

I upgraded from SQL Express to SQL 2005 per your previous response, yet this obviously did not resolve the issue.


My entire web config is below:

?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

Changed the password to actual password

Still same

Go to www.yellowbrickroadtech.com

Click the login

Login as KoriYounger

Password cecelia!

 

...There is of course a lot to getting this to work right and I'd like to help you but can only do so much from here so I'll provide a few insights;


1) Your web.config authentication section is weak, you should look at the examples at www.asp.net


i.e., a stronger authentication section would look like this:


<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="Default.aspx" protection="Validation" timeout="300"/>
</authentication>


2) You shouldcontinue adding this line before your conn string, (as you have):


<remove name="LocalSqlServer"/>


3) localhost should be used for the smtp host on DASP accounts.


i.e.


<smtp>
<network host="localhost" port="25" />
</smtp>


Salute,


Mark

Are you planning to use the membership provider(Default/Customized)?If yes,then you missing membership provider details from your web.config for Login control to use it.

Hi, Noticed that you have only a LocalSqlServer connection string. Mark

 

Don't know if you've solved this or not, but I've been fighting the same problem for two days. I finally found the answer to my issue in this forum (my thanks to all the help from the posters). If you haven't tried this fix, it may help you also. It's at:


http://community.discountasp.net/post.aspx?f=16&amp;r=r&amp;m=12381


It refers to an excellent article on the same problem at Scott's Blog, which step-walks you through the fix and tells you how to avoid it to begin with. That article is at:

Anyway, I hope this helps!


Take care,
