Hi,
i am following the instructions in this section and basically everything works except that wgen the current user is Logged Out and he clicks on the Login link provided by the LoginStatus control, an error 404 is returned as it is expecting a login.aspx file in the root of the website.

1. As a LOGIn button is being provided immediately above the status link, it seems redundant to have the StatusLink attempting to go to a login page.
2. 2. My site layout is naturally different to Planet Wrox and I am not using a seperate login page, rather I am putting the login box in a column of my default page.

I have set the Logout Action property to refresh and 'Logout' functions Ok

I cannot find a property to set to change the URL of the LogIn link??

Hi there,

Is this about the book Beginning ASP.NET 3.5 or Professional ASP.NET 3.5? You posted in the forum for the latter while you seem to be referring to the former.

Anyway, you can set the loginUrl attribute of the <forms /> element in web.config (which is a sub element of <authentication />) to a different page.

Hope this helps,

Imar
