Question

I have the following code in my asp.net login page:

if (Request.QueryString["ReturnUrl"] != null)
        FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(UserLogin.UserName, UserLogin.RememberMeSet);
    else
        FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(UserLogin.UserName, UserLogin.RememberMeSet);

The scenario I want is:

when the user enters the login page, it will be checked if he has an authentication cookie, and if so, he is automatically redirected to the default page (which is a page that only authenticated users can see).

How can this be achieved ?

Answer 1

Place this in the Page_Init for example…

  if (Request.IsAuthenticated) {
            Response.Redirect(Request.QueryString["ReturnUrl"]);
  }

It’ll just bounce the user onwards to the destination if they’re logged in.
