    I am wanting to use Forms Authentication on my site, and I have the
    exact same code on another site I am using, but it's not working on
    this one.

    I only want to limit the "admin" folder to require me to log in, so I
    have this in my web config:

    <location path="admin" >
            <system.web>
                    <authorization>
                            <allow roles="Administrator" />
                            <deny users="*" />
                    </authorization>
            </system.web>
    </location>

    When I first go to the admin section of the site, it redirects me to
    the login page like it should. I log in, and it goes to the admin
    section just fine. Then, if I go to the normal part of the site that
    isn't "protected", it seems to lose my login. When I use
    User.IsInRole("Administrator") or User.Identity.IsAuthenticated they
    always return false. I am still able to go to the admin section, but I
    am not authenticated.

    Here is the code I am putting in my global.asax file:

        Sub Application_AuthenticateRequest(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e
    As EventArgs)
            If Request.IsAuthenticated Then
                Dim UserID As New SqlParameter("@Username",
    User.Identity.Name)
                Dim reader As SqlDataReader =
    SqlHelper.ExecuteReader(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("connectionString"),
    CommandType.StoredProcedure, "rolesForUser", UserID)
                Dim roleList As New ArrayList
                Do While reader.Read
                    roleList.Add(reader("Name"))
                Loop
                Dim roleListArray As String() =
    roleList.ToArray(GetType(String))
                HttpContext.Current.User() = New
    GenericPrincipal(User.Identity, roleListArray)
            End If
        End Sub

    The problem is that Request.IsAuthenticated is returning "False" after
    I go to another page. Here is the rest of my web.config file to: (that
    have to do with this)

    <authentication mode="Forms">
         <forms name="Form1" loginUrl="login.aspx" protection="All"
    timeout="30" path="/"/>
    </authentication>

    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. I am sure it's
    probably something wrong with some random IIS setting I have or
    something that's messing it up. Thank you for your time!
