    copied!<p>I have searched the web for this and couldn't find anything (well one remotely relevant post), so here I am. </p> <p>We have multiple ASP.NET apps in IIS 6 using Forms Authentication with dedicated path for each app. Since path is case sensitive it must match URL's path section exactly. However, because of an incorrect casing in IIS 6 Metabase for AppRoot (or Starting Point in IIS UI) bowser doesn't send Form cookie to the server whenever URL is previously resolved on the server and sent to client in incorrect case.</p> <p>Example:<br> <strong>App URL</strong> = "<a href="https://Test.net/Application1" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://Test.net/Application1</a>"<br> <strong>Cookie path</strong> = /Application1<br> <strong>Metabase AppRoot</strong> = /LM/W3SVC/1393818691/ROOT/APPLICATIONPATH1<br> <strong>Resolved URL</strong> = "<a href="https://Test.net/APPLICATIONPATH1" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://Test.net/APPLICATIONPATH1</a>"<br> <br/> Now to the root cause...<br> We create virtual directories on test server manually in a specific case (matches Path for each application). We then export virtual directory using UI to an XML file, which is then imported to another server (let's say production), at which point IIS decides to uppercase AppRoot element of the metabase.</p> <p>Can anyone shed some light on this? Is there a setting on IIS I am not aware of? I am trying to avoid manual edit of metabase after the import. Is that a bug? </p>
