RE: mixed mode authentication + no postbacks

Hi tia,

From your description, you've applied a custom mixed authenitcation in your
ASP.NET web application,and the windows authentication module will generate
forms authentication cookie and redirect user to formsauthentication site.
However, you found that after redirected from windows authenticatino site,
any page postback operation no longer work, correct?

If this is the case, I think the behavior is quite unexpected. As for the
postback not work, do you mean even putting a typical submit button(and
click it) will not cause page to postback? Or if the client-side browser
does perform the postback and server-side didn't show any reflection or
return any response? I'm still not quite sure about the exact result and
behavior when you go through the redirector module and return to main site
pages. Is there any particular error message?

Sincerely,

Steven Cheng

Subject: mixed mode authentication + no postbacks


Hi there

I implemented a mixed mode authentication as follows:
main site using forms authentication
redirector site using windows authentication, creates a forms
authentication cookie and redirects to main site

the problem is if i go to the main site everything works fine

if i go to the redirector site it redirects to the main site ( as
expected, cookie is generated as expected and in site
Context.Current.User is set as expected ) but no postbacks occur
anymore, even if i logout an logon to the main site problem resides, i
figured out that any "redirector" site protected by windows
authentication redirecting to my site causes postbacks to not function
anymore.

I tried the sample from Microsoft Press Book "Developing More-Secure
Microsoft?ASP.NET 2.0 Applications" and same thing happened.

My config Vista SP1 .NET 3.5
or 2003 R2 .NET 3.5

Applications are .NET 2.0 applications
