Re: FormsAuthentication doesn't automatically redirect upon timeout

Yes, ASP.NET needs to know if the visitor is authorized to view that path or not. Glad that you found what was wrong.

I figured out what the problem is, I needed to add the following setting to the web.config.

<authorization>
<deny users="?" />
</authorization>

Thanks for trying to help!

Hi,

Sorry for my previous message. It has nothing to do with your problem.

Can you please attach a project in a zip file to reproduce the problem you
have.

I will try to correct it and send it back.

Hi,

Yes. If you have a HttpModule that logs and then cleans the errors on the
server, ASP.NET doesn't redirect.

Hello,

I do specify the login url in web.config, but for whatever reason it
doesn't redirect upon timeout when a secured resource is accessed.
Instead it throws an exception when I try to access and use the value
in HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name (which is now empty). This
is why i put code into the onLoad in order to prevent the exception.
Is there a reason why it wouldn't redirect even though I have the
login url specified in web.config?


Thanks,
Christine
