Force login page 1

[kurie]

Hie all
I have developed a website and i want to access the pages from frmMain where users login, I have set the page frmMain as the start page but i can still type the page name like:

http://localhost:2942/Website/frmAddUsers.aspx

and access it, Does anyone know how to stop this.

use the authorization/authentication nodes in the web.config to secure the directory. for examples of how to do this google "asp.net configure forms authentication"

You can also set a variable to be checked when every page is loaded to see if a user is logged in. This variable would be set when the user logs in. So the log in page would be the only page not checking for this variable.

Hi,
You can also add a check on this page:

http://localhost:2942/Website/frmAddUsers.aspx

that will test for the 'sending' page and if it is not your login page, take some action ( like sending the user to the proper starting page)

I have got a problem with form authentication.
My problem is whenever i want to go to another page(after loggin in) im redirected to the first page/the login page. does anyone know what wrong
Here is my code for the sessions,

<script language="C#" runat="server">
void Login_Click(Object sender, EventArgs E)
{

if ((UserEmail.Text == "username@domain.com") &;
(UserPass.Text == "password"))
{
FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage (tboUsername.Text,PersistCookie.Checked);
}
//else
//{
// lblResults.Text = "Invalid Credentials: Please try again";
//}
}
</script>
and my config file has the following lines


<forms name=".COOKIEDEMO">
loginUrl="frmMain.aspx"
protection="All"
timeout="30"
path="/"/>;
</forms>;

Does anyone know what im doing wrong
