Question

After I inserted the configuration below in my Web.Config

<authentication mode="Forms">
  <forms name="appNameAuth"
   path="/" loginUrl="login.aspx" protection="All" timeout="30">
    <credentials passwordFormat="Clear">
      <user name="user" password="password" />
    </credentials>
  </forms>
</authentication>
<authorization>
  <deny users="?" />
</authorization>

All requests to

Menu.aspx#fragment

are redirected to

login.aspx?ReturnUrl=/Menu.aspx

and I expected it to be redirected to

login.aspx?ReturnUrl=/Menu.aspx#fragment

How to achieve the desired behavior?

Answer 1

The only solution I have found so far is to use a Rewrite rule to encode the # character to %23.

Thanks Claudio!
