Re: FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage()

Response.Redirect works.

Maybe there is some problem in your cookie code and you get bounced back again to login.aspx....?!

Greetings MS ASP.Net Community,

I am using forms authentication for a site we've been developing. All
users valid on our Windows domain are eligible to access the site, but
are enrolled in the application upon initial login by insertion of a
record into a [User] table located in a SQL Server database.
Insertion of this record creates an "anonymous" machine generated user
ID for them. (The system is a ride sharing / carpool application and
implements a double blind messaging feature.) New users are also
required to agree to the "Terms of Service" that our legal dept. has
composed for this application. So, the login form is taking care of
all of this for me. It only grants an authentication ticket after
verifying that:

1. the user is on the domain
2. the user has been enrolled by insertion into the [User] table
3. the user has agreed to the current "Terms of Service"
Normally, an existing user is redirected from login to a default page
showing their matching commuters (where they can message potential
matches anonymously, etc.) However, when the user is a brand spanking
new user who is accessing the site for the first time I would like to
redirect them from the login page to a "welcome" page that informs
them about their anonymous ID and the double-blind messaging feature,
etc.

The problem I seem to have is that when I manually add the cookie for
the authentication ticket to the outgoing cookies collection and try
to invoke a statement such as:

Response.Redirect("Welcome.aspx", False)

the user is not redirected, but receives the login page again.

Is it possible to redirect from the login page to a page other than
the one requested by the user ... i.e.
FormsAuthentication.GetRedirectURL()? Seemingly, I can only redirect
the user from the login page via:

FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage()

Ok, I think that pretty much sums it up.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
Mark
