issues verifying if user is logged in

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 by admin

I am having issues when a user logs in via asp Login control, the IsAuthenticated still seems to come up false... ( yes the username and password is correct) Can anyone tell me what I might be missing ? Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
setupForm() If (Page.IsPostBack) Then
'Dim loggedIn As Boolean = HttpContext.Current.Request.IsAuthenticated
End If If (Not Page.IsPostBack) Then
'Popup dialog won't fire if user is already in.
If (Request.IsAuthenticated) Then
mpeLogin.Enabled = False
pnLogin.Visible = False
logStatus.Visible = True
logName.Visible = True Else
mpeLogin.Enabled = True
pnLogin.Visible = True
logStatus.Visible = False
logName.Visible = False
End If
End If End Sub Private Sub setupForm() ' set the Login control properties
lgLogin.CreateUserText = _JoinNowText
lgLogin.CreateUserUrl = _JoinNowURL
lgLogin.PasswordRecoveryText = _PasswordRecoveryText
lgLogin.PasswordRecoveryUrl = _PasswordRecoveryUrl
lgLogin.InstructionText = _InstructionText
lgLogin.HelpPageText = _HelpPageText
lgLogin.HelpPageUrl = _HelpPageUrl
lgLogin.DestinationPageUrl = _DestinationPageUrl
lgLogin.RememberMeSet = _RememberMeSet
lgLogin.RememberMeText = _RememberMeText pnLogin.CssClass = _LoginPanelCss
lblBeforeButton.Text = _LoginPanelLabel
pnLogin.Width = _LoginPanelWidth End Sub
'Continue to display the popup dialog and failure text if login failed.
Protected Sub lgLogin_Authenticate(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.AuthenticateEventArgs) Handles lgLogin.Authenticate
Dim name As String = HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name 'Add authentication logic here.
'e.Authenticated = ((lgLogin.UserName = "gbeford") And (lgLogin.Password = "spring!"))
e.Authenticated = HttpContext.Current.Request.IsAuthenticated
Dim test As Boolean = HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated
Dim isLoggedIn As Boolean = FormsAuthentication.Authenticate(lgLogin.UserName, lgLogin.Password) If (Not e.Authenticated) Then
mpeLogin.Show()
End If End Sub
