Re: How can the Login control stop authenticating?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Not even using the template but bringing it right down to the basics noting the Login.aspx control is loaded into a Panel and the Panel is in the MasterPage

// will login but I do not know if it is using validation to catch unknown credentials
<asp:Login ID="MemberLogin" runat="server" />


I do not know how to code this anymore because any event handler will cause the control to no longer authenticate and login a known user


<asp:Login ID="MemberLogin" runat="server"
OnAuthenticate="OnAuthenticate" />

This control can be dragged and dropped from the VS2008 Toolbox and if
Membership is setup correctly the Login control will login
authenticated users --and-- display a message and stop the form from
processing when unknown credentials are submitted, i.e. validation.

Any attempt to use any code in any of the supported event handlers for
this control causes the Login control to stop authenticating known
users. There's other stuff going on but I didn't think or didn't know
I would have to write all of the authentication code to authenticate a
user trying to login simply because I was also using some other event
handler for the Login control.

You don't have to rewrite everything if you are using the standard
authentication method. If you are using custom tables, a database other
than Access or SQL Server or completely changing authentication, then
you do have to write a custom provider, but not for changing validation.

You want to use the validating method and set e.Cancel = true when the
user fails your scheme. That will not alter the normal operation for
anyone you allow to pass through the gate.

If I have missed the nail, post a follow up.
