    copied!<p>Sorry if this has been covered, but I about to pull my hair out. My site is using forms authentication and works perfectly when I test on //localhost but when I publish to the web it does not work in IE9. I have followed all the steps outlined in tutorials but when using IE9 or Chrome FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie never creates the cookie. The kicker is when I use Firefox it works. Below is code from my web.config and my code behind in C#.</p> <p>Basically, I collect the username and password from the user and authenticate against my SQL Server with a stored proc. Then return a temporary web key that the site uses to interact with the user's profile. The web key is stored in the FormsAuthentication cookie as the identity which I can retrieve to valildate the user being logged in.</p> <p>Also, I know that the authentication cookie is never created because I have an asp:loginstatus control on the page that never changes.</p> <p>web.config:</p> <pre><code>&lt;authentication mode="Forms"&gt; &lt;forms loginUrl="Login.aspx" protection="All" path="/" slidingExpiration="true" timeout="60" cookieless="AutoDetect" /&gt; &lt;/authentication&gt; &lt;authorization&gt; &lt;deny users="?"/&gt; &lt;allow users= "*"/&gt; &lt;/authorization&gt; </code></pre> <p>in the code behind:</p> <pre><code>void LogUserIn(string UserEmail, string Pwd) { conn = new SqlConnection(connstr); sql = new SqlCommand("exec usp_AuthLogin @Email, @Pwd", conn); sql.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Email", UserEmail); sql.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Pwd", Pwd); try { conn.Open(); reader = sql.ExecuteReader(); while (reader.Read()) { Result = reader["Result"].ToString(); // value of webkey } } catch (Exception ex) { } finally { conn.Close(); } // if successful log in and create cookie if (Result != "Denied") { FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(Result, true); // set cookie with webkey from sql server LoggedIn = true; } else { LoggedIn = false; } } </code></pre> <p>Please help</p>
