Once user has been authenticated, he/she will be directed to a page.
I mean ...

FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(loginName, persistentState)
and
<authentication>
<forms .... ... loginUrl="login.aspx" ... />
</authentication>

I go to the browser and type login.aspx in address bar. Upon successful login, I am directed to default.aspx. Is that possible to change that
page(such as default2.aspx)? Thank you.
 
The user is being redirected to default.aspx as their is no ReturnURL querystring:


I suppose you could redirect back to the same page and add the querystring value yourself.

Try the Search Facility or read FAQ222-2244 on how to get better results.
 
When redirected to a forms login there is a querystring param named "ReturnUrl".
After successful authentication in your login page do this:

If Request("ReturnUrl") = Nothing then
Response.Redirect("default2.aspx")
else
Response.Redirect(Request("ReturnUrl"))

end if
 
I've read something about
FormsAuthentication.GetRedirectUrl(userName, createCookie).

First of all, how to use that? Anyone?
