Problem with the web.config file

[mike55]

Hi all

 

Am attempting to switch from Windows authentication to Forms authentication on my project.The first step of setting the authentication is no prob.

<authentication mode ="Forms">
</authentication>

 

Now the default start page is a page called Login.aspx, my default webpage is "Default.aspx", now to specify this i went

<authentication mode ="Forms">
  <Forms loginurl="Default.aspx"></Forms>
</authentication>

The problem is that the application will not recognise the loginUrl keyword.

 

Anyone got a suggestion

Problem solved, the web.config file seems to be case sensitive.

Greetings Mike:

 

This is a sample of the web config settings I use. Modify them how you like. I believe that it is case sensitive.

 

<authentication mode="Forms"> 
         <forms name="SiteName" protection="All" loginUrl="yourloginpagehere.aspx" timeout="60"/>
</authentication>

Hope this is somehow usefull to you.
