I configured ASP.NET membership and created some users as well as a protected folder.
now, what’s weird is that after being successfully authenticated, instead of going to the protected page, the login page is loaded again.!

for example, I have a role “HR” and a user “hr1” who is a member of “HR”. I have a protected folder “HR” which is supposed to be accessible only to “HR” group.

now, when trying to access the protected folder, I’m redirected to the login page which is a good thing. but after, I give the right login and password, I’m not redirected to the page I tried accessing in the first place.

    I had this the other day – have you correctly edited the web.config settings, rather than cut and pasted? 🙂

    The important part in the following is the ‘Path=”/”‘ attribute – the examples have it set to “/admin” and by default will cause the redirect to login page issue if /admin doesn’t exist.

    <authentication mode="Forms">
  <forms loginUrl="Login.aspx" protection="All" timeout="30" name="AppNameCookie" path="/" requireSSL="false" slidingExpiration="true" defaultUrl="default.aspx" cookieless="UseCookies" enableCrossAppRedirects="false"/>
</authentication>
