How can I have Forms based auth and Basic Auth on same server?

[trend]

Hello, I am developing this website to have 2 ways to login.

 

The first way is a normal Forms based login.

 

And the 2nd way is Basic Authentication... I have a subdir and file that a user goes to.. lets say /subdir/login.html. And once the user enters in his credentials, I want him to be redirected to /mainpage.html

 

I am using this code for both logins:

                       FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage("CookieMonster", False)
                       httpApplication.Response.Redirect("/mainpage.html")

 

But, after the user authenticates via basic authentication, he is redirected to the /mainpage.html and for some reason then redirected to the forms based authentication menu.

 

Why is this?

 

And how can I fix it?

 

 

thanks Lee

Well.. can you have authentication on a subdir and it allow the user to be authenticated on the root dir?

 

Example:

 

user authenticates at /subdir/login.aspx

and then it redirects him to /main.aspx

 

 

(if the user doesn't authenticate via /subdir/login.aspx and tries to go to /main.aspx, he will be outputed at /login.aspx )

 

 

thanks
