Hello,

I've tried to set up Forms authentication on a WSS 3.0 Web application
according to this page:http://weblog.vb-tech.com/nick/archive/2006/06/14/1617.aspx(I know it's
for MOSS, but the steps seem to fit with WSS as well).

I've created a user in the AspSqlMembershipProvider tables in the
Content database, and I've successfully added that newly created user as
the Site Collection Administrator for the web application in the Central
Administration.

The end of the tutorial states that the site should be available
anonymously, but I get straight to the "Sign in" form when I try to
access the site - and when I try to log in, I get back to the "Sign in"
form without anything happening - I don't get any "Login failed" message
or any other error message - I click Sign In, and the sign in page
basically just refreshes itself.

I've checked the event viewer, but there's not anything worth noting
there. I've also taken a look at the log files in C:\Program
Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\LOGS, but I
can't find anything which seems to be related to the sign-in attempt.

Any ideas what could be wrong? All help is very appreciated!

Thanks.

are you using userName you added as administrator of site? Ideally
after adding user as site admin, one gets logged in using that account
and then adds remaining.
Try to write some thing more after user is added as site admin. Its
not necessary to make site available anonymously


Yes, I added the user as site admin. That's the user I'm not able to log in with...
