I have a very odd problem. I have a web app that uses the .
NET Membership API to provide login functionality.
This works fine on my local dev machine, using WebDev
4.
0 server.
I'm using .
NET 4.
0 with some URL Rewriting, but not on the pages where login is required.
I have a Windows Server 2008 with IIS7
However, the Membership API seemingly does not work on the server. I have set up remote debugging and the LoginUser.LoggedIn event of the LoginUser control gets fired okay, but the MembershipUser is null. I get no answer about the username/password being invalid so it seems to be recognising it.
If I enter an invalid username/password, I get an invalid username/password response.
Some code, if it helps:
<asp:ValidationSummary ID="LoginUserValidationSummary" runat="server" CssClass="validation-error-list"
ValidationGroup="LoginUserValidationGroup"/>
<div class="accountInfo">
<fieldset class="login">
<legend>Account Information</legend>
<p>
<asp:Label ID="UserNameLabel" runat="server" AssociatedControlID="UserName">Username:</asp:Label>
<asp:TextBox ID="UserName" runat="server" CssClass="textEntry"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="UserNameRequired" runat="server" ControlToValidate="UserName"
CssClass="validation-error" Display="Dynamic" ErrorMessage="User Name is required." ToolTip="User Name is required."
ValidationGroup="LoginUserValidationGroup">*</asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
</p>
<p>
<asp:Label ID="PasswordLabel" runat="server" AssociatedControlID="Password">Password:</asp:Label>
<asp:TextBox ID="Password" runat="server" CssClass="passwordEntry" TextMode="Password"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="PasswordRequired" runat="server" ControlToValidate="Password"
CssClass="validation-error" Display="Dynamic" ErrorMessage="Password is required." ToolTip="Password is required."
ValidationGroup="LoginUserValidationGroup">*</asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
</p>
<p>
<asp:CheckBox ID="RememberMe" runat="server"/>
<asp:Label ID="RememberMeLabel" runat="server" AssociatedControlID="RememberMe" CssClass="inline">Keep me logged in</asp:Label>
</p>
</fieldset>
<p class="login-action">
<asp:Button ID="LoginButton" runat="server" CommandName="Login" CssClass="submitButton" Text="Log In"
ValidationGroup="LoginUserValidationGroup"/>
</p>
and the code behind:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
LoginUser.LoginError += new EventHandler(LoginUser_LoginError);
LoginUser.LoggedIn += new EventHandler(LoginUser_LoggedIn);
}
void LoginUser_LoggedIn(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// this code gets run so it appears logins work
Roles.DeleteCookie(); // this behaviour has been removed for testing - no difference
}
void LoginUser_LoginError(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
HtmlGenericControl htmlGenericControl = LoginUser.FindControl("errorMessageSpan") as HtmlGenericControl;
if (htmlGenericControl != null) htmlGenericControl.Visible = true;
}
I have "Fiddled" with the Login form reponse and I get the following Cookie-Set headers:
Set-Cookie: ASP.NET_SessionId=lpyyiyjw45jjtuav1gdu4jmg; path=/; HttpOnly
Set-Cookie: .ASPXAUTH=A7AE08E071DD20872D6BBBAD9167A709DEE55B352283A7F91E1066FFB1529E5C61FCEDC86E558CEA1A837E79640BE88D1F65F14FA8434AA86407DA3AEED575E0649A1AC319752FBCD39B2A4669B0F869; path=/; HttpOnly
Set-Cookie: .ASPXROLES=; expires=Mon, 11-Oct-1999 23:00:00 GMT; path=/; HttpOnly
I don't know what is useful here because it is obviously encrypted but I find the .APXROLES cookie having no value interesting. It seems to fail to register the cookie, but passes authentication
