Hi Folks,
Recently I have a very very annoying issue crop up and cannot seem to get it solved.

I have a ASP.NET application on my server (IIS) in which default.aspx is the only default content page. I am using forms authentication and everything works well.....apart from one thing.

If I visit:

http://<myserver>/PMS

it turns into:

http://<myserver>/PMS/Default.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fpms

which means that when I log in it redirects me to the homepage again (http://<myserver>/PMS) which in effect logs me out. Therefore I have to log in again when it does take me to the main menu as the second time the returnurl has gone.

any ideas how I can get it so that the returnurl does not appear when I visit my site?

Hi my friend

in web.config you can set some parameters

<Authentication Mode="Forms" defaultUrl="Default.aspx" loginUrl="login.aspx" />

set loginUrl to know that is authentication problem or not.

Hi there,
Thanks for the reply! My Web.config is currently set as below:

<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms name=".ASPXAUTH" loginUrl="Default.aspx" defaultUrl="MemberPages/mainMenu.aspx" protection="All" path="/" timeout="60" />
</authentication>

so I am still stumped!

Hi mtullockTwice
so you can implement your login inteface in default.aspx

Hi
Thats right, The user types in:

server/PMS

and they are immediately presented with the login screen (default.aspx). However the system automatically puts the

server/PMS/Default.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fPMS%2f

in by default, and then of course if they log in they are redirected back to the login screen. its really doing my head in! :)

Cheers
