Forms Authentication Question

[Smeat]

Hi All

I have a site that I want to keep open to everyone but protect certain folders. Furthermore, I want to direct the user to different login pages dependant on which folder they are attempting to access.

Example:
If the user attempts to access a page in the Protected directory, they are redirected to the Proected/Login.aspx page.

If the user attempts to access a page in the Protected/SiteAdmin directory, they are redirected to the Proected/SiteAdmin/Login.aspx page.

My questions is how do I specify multiple login pages ?

TIA

Hi Smeat,

The answer is you shouldn't!

Use just one login page and once logged in use the Roles Providor - this way you can secure any directory or page based on the role that logged in user is in.

Certainly no need to have multiple login pages.

+ loads on asp.net and Google

Hi J

There was a specific reason why I wanted two distinct login forms but I can't remember what that reason was, which makes me think it can't have been a valid reason

Anyway, I'm gonna go the single login form route, thanks for the reply.
