I am using forms authentication in an ASP.Net application. For reporting, I am using the Crystal Reports Viewer through ActiveX. The forms authentication while paging through the application, works fine. Once authenticated I can access the appropriate pages and once the timeout has been exceeded, it redirects me to the login page. I am also able to access my Crystal Reports through the ActiveX viewer just fine. I am trying to implement hyperlink functionality from within the Crystal Report so that a user may just click on a data item from within the Crystal Report and be redirected to the web page to change the data. On my workstation and on my laptop this works great. But on every other user's machine I've tried when the the link from within the report is selected they are redirected to the login page for authentication. I am creating the ticket using the SetAuthCookie method. Does anyone know why the browser loses the authentication for certain machines? Just to verify this behavior, I added the desired editing redirect page to my web.config allowing all users and the report hyperlink does function as expected.
