    <p>My company has a web application hosted on a client's machine that uses forms authentication in ASP.net. When visiting the website <a href="http://www.client.com/Application" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.client.com/Application</a> and trying to authenticate on the login page the user gets redirected back to the login page. When accessing it via <a href="http://localhost/Application" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://localhost/Application</a> the authentication works fine and the user is able to get into the site. We cannot replicate this behavior in our development environment so we're pretty sure it has something to do with their server/environment.</p> <p>The problem only happens when using Internet Explorer (tested with ie 6, 7, 8). When the client tries to get on with firefox, the authentication works fine.</p> <p>I created a debug page that the logon page redirects to after a call to FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie that displays information about the authentication cookie. When hitting it in Internet Explorer, the authentication cookie does not exist. When hitting it in FireFox it does.</p> <p>Has anyone encountered something like this before or have any suggestions about what could be the problem?</p> <p>EDIT:</p> <p>Web.config</p> <pre><code>&lt;authentication mode="Forms"&gt; &lt;forms name=".ASPXAUTH" loginUrl="Login.aspx" /&gt; &lt;/authentication&gt; &lt;authorization&gt; &lt;deny users="?" /&gt; &lt;allow users="*" /&gt; &lt;/authorization&gt; &lt;!-- Page used to display authentication cookie information --&gt; &lt;location path="AuthDebugPage.aspx"&gt; &lt;system.web&gt; &lt;authorization&gt; &lt;allow users="?"/&gt; &lt;/authorization&gt; &lt;/system.web&gt; &lt;/location&gt; </code></pre> <p>LogOn.aspx.vb</p> <pre><code>If (adAuth.IsAuthenticated(Domain, txtUserName.Text, txtPassword.Text)) Then Dim AuthDebug As Boolean = System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("AuthDebug") If AuthDebug Then FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(SystemUserName, False) Response.Redirect("AuthDebugPage.aspx") Else FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(txtUserName.Text, False) End If End If </code></pre> <p>The admin of their domain looked through the group policy to see if they were pushing anything down to their nodes that prevented users from accepting cookies on IE and he didn't find anything. He also took a machine off the domain and cleaned it of all group policy and still had the same trouble authenticating in internet explorer.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
