Forms Authentication (1 Viewer)

I am working on forms authentication for my web application.

I would like to have a secure section and and unprotected section.

The unprotected section would be at the application root and there would be a members directory called member.

I would also like to have a login control in the unprotected area that when the user authenticates would redirect to member/default.aspx

I have created this structure, but I was forced to make the member directory an application within IIS. (This does not seem natural to me).

Regardless I can authenticate but when trying to redirect to member/default.aspx the user is not recognized as authenticated and is taken to member/login.aspx as is the expected behavior for an unauthenticated user.

My web.config is:

Code:
<system.web>
	    <compilation 
         defaultLanguage="c#"
         debug="true"
    />
</system.web>
	
	<location path="member"> 
	<system.web>

    <compilation 
         defaultLanguage="c#"
         debug="true"
    />
    <customErrors 
    mode="RemoteOnly" 
    /> 
    
    <authentication mode="Forms">
		<forms name="SampleAuth"
			loginUrl="login.aspx"
			slidingExpiration="true"
			protection="All"
			path="/">
			</forms>
    </authentication> 

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

 </system.web>

I have removed some needless code from the web.config

If anyone could shed some light onto the problem it would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried using codebehind authentication checks
and using Session/Cookies to flag the user has authenticated=1 eg:

hope this helps.
