HI
I am developing a web site and this is authentication and authorization tag of my site:
    <authentication mode="Forms">
      <forms name="EquityChoice" loginUrl="~/SignIn.aspx" protection="All" />
    </authentication>
    <authorization>
      <deny users="?" />
    </authorization>
i also use the login control that is :

<asp:Login ID="EquityLogin" runat="server" Width="100%" DestinationPageUrl="~/Default.aspx" FailureText='<img src="App_Themes/Equity/Image/icon_err.gif" width="16" height="16" align="top">&nbsp;Your login attempt was not successful. Please try again.' OnLoggedIn="EquityLogin_LoggedIn" RememberMeText="Remember My Password" TitleText="Sign In" BackColor="White" BorderColor="#F7F6F3" BorderPadding="4" BorderStyle="Solid" BorderWidth="1px" Font-Names="Verdana" Font-Size="0.8em" ForeColor="#333333" PasswordRecoveryText="Forgot your password?" PasswordRecoveryUrl="~/Pass.aspx">
                <TitleTextStyle Font-Bold="True" Font-Names="Times New Roman" HorizontalAlign="Left" BackColor="CornflowerBlue" Font-Size="Medium" ForeColor="White" /><CheckBoxStyle Font-Size="Small" />
                <InstructionTextStyle Font-Italic="True" ForeColor="Black" />
                <TextBoxStyle Font-Size="Small" Width="140px" />
                <LoginButtonStyle BackColor="#FFFBFF" BorderColor="#CCCCCC" BorderStyle="Solid" BorderWidth="1px"
                    Font-Names="Verdana" Font-Size="Small" ForeColor="#284775" />
            </asp:Login>

As you can see i've used PasswordRecoveryText and PasswordRecoveryUrl but when i click "Forgot your password?",nothig happens and i remain in the Login page.
What is my problem?
Thank you for your attnetion.

Hi there,

I think it only looks like nothing is happening, but what I think is happening is this:

1. You access the Login page and click the Password recovery link

2. You're taken to ~/Pass.aspx

3. However, you need to be logged in on that page, so you're taken back to Login.aspx.

There are at least to ways around this:

1. Add the PasswordRecovery to the login page as well, and show / hide it depending on some condition.

2. Add a <location> tag to your web.config to unblock the Pass page, like this:

  <location path="~/Pass.aspx">
  <system.web>
    <authorization>
      <allow users="*" />
    </authorization>
  </system.web>
  </location>
</configuration>

This section, placed near the end of the config file unblocks access to ~/Pass.aspx.

Hope this helps,

Imar
