Question

I am facing a problem with pop up window on IE6. It always redirect to login page. It’s ok for for Firefox or IE8.

In Web.config, I configured all files are required to login:

<authentication mode="Forms">
    <forms name="frmLogin" loginUrl="/Default.aspx" defaultUrl="/Home"></forms>
</authentication>
<authorization>
    <deny users="?" />
</authorization>

When user input correct username and password, I use the following to provide authentication

FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(username, false);

By using the above code, user could view all pages.

But in IE6 & 7:

• It’s ok if user view page with the same window

• But if i open it pop up window using javascript as below, it asks for authentication again:

  window.open(url, null, “width=1050, height=600, scrollbars=yes”);

Thanks!

Use this authentication:

FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(username, true);
