Hi to all,

I have 3 asp.net pages (default.aspx, login.aspx, registro.aspx). And I configured the web.config to jump automatically to login.aspx when the user is not authentificated (forms authentification). There's no problem with this. But, when I link registro.aspx (using server.transfer or response.redirect), in order to input all data for registering the user, and I press a button in this page (with or without code in the onclick event) the "connect to <computer>" standard dialog from windows appears. I've tried this in two computers under Windows XP.

The point is that what I want is to register the user and authentify when the button is pressed, and then back to default.aspx.

World only exists into your mind.

Your registration page needs to be set up to not require authentication. One way of doing this is to create a subdirectory for "public" pages. In there, you can make a mini web.config file that contains only an authorization node so you can allow all users.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <authorization>
            <allow users="*" />
        </authorization>
    </system.web>
</configuration>

This will permit access to the registration page.

I believe there is a way to do this on a page by page basis (instead of using a whole directory) but I have yet to figure out how to do that. I posted a question about it, but never got any responses.

Thank you. It works, but I don't understand the reason for this error, because it is produced when I press a button with no code inside.

That problems is that you are changing the page you are looking at. When the server attempts to serve up this page, it's not authenticated. The error you are seeing seems strange to me. Usually you would just get directed back to the login page.

I must have missed your post.
