Forms Authentication fails even when browser accepts cookies
While using Forms authentication in ASP.net
<forms name=".ASPXAUTH" loginUrl="login.aspx" defaultUrl="Default.aspx" protection="All" timeout="30" path="/" requireSSL="false" slidingExpiration="true" cookieless="AutoDetect" domain="" enableCrossAppRedirects="false"> <credentials passwordFormat="SHA1" /> </forms>
please remeber to set path = “/” or else the cookie based authentication fails, I am yet to figure out why this is happening but atleast this solves the problem.
