Register new user forms authentication

[DotNetJunkies User]

Ok I admit to being new at this and having problems getting my head around IIS.

So if you can help me I will much appreciate it. I have a login page with a hyperlink on it that directs to a page for new users to enter their details. When you click on it the the browser does not go past the login page. I understand that it should not let you past the logon page unless the username and password agree with those setup in web.config (i will use a database for storing these later as I realise its the best way to do it)

Can you help me to get the register new user page up from the login page.

Is this an IIS issue, do I need to add something to web.config.

The manuals dont explain this very well to me.

Thank

David

Hi,

I understand you have applied forms authentication and in the web.config you have given deny users = ? so its redirecting all unauthetnicated requests to the login page.

you add the following attribute to the web.config to allow anonymous users to register.aspx page.

<location path="Register.aspx"> -- or whatever name is your registration page
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="*" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
