FormsAuthentication using xml file

[smita]

Hi Andrea,

Thanx for the link to the article ...It was really useful...but again i
have a question which remains unanswered...Please can u help me with that..
If my user is authenticated the
FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage() takes me to default.aspx...but
what i want is if the user who is authenticated is an administrator he shud
be directed to a page called AdminOptions.aspx but if the user who is
authenticated is not an administrator then he shud be directed to some other
page ...say XYZ.aspx....I cannot have two Default.aspx pages...Then how can
i specify these page redirections..instead of using only Default.aspx.

Any advice wud be helpful..
Thanx:-)
regards,
smita.

Hi,
I don't know if I'm missing something here but you can redirect to the page
you want to (a simple Response.Redirect() ) based on the result of
User.IsInRole( [Admin] ) or the IsInRole() method of whatever implementation
of IPrincipal you have, instead of using
FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage().
