Hi All,
I'm porting a xxxapp web app from ASP1.1 to DNN 4.3.5 . I have FormBasedAuthentication in xxxapp where I validate the user from a database and then do
if(CustomValidate("username","password"))
{
FormAuthentication.SetAuthCookie("username",false);
Response.Redirect(targetUrl);
}
On the targetUrl( a page in dnn with a custom module added) I check Request.IsAuthenticated( which is supposed to be true after doing FormAuth...SetAuth...) and take necessary actions.
This works fine in xxxapp but in DNN Request.IsAuthenticated isn't set to true as expected. What do I need to do to make it work in DNN.

Many Thanks !

You guys might be interested in clicking the AuthIntegrator link in my sig.  The next version, 1.1, due out before the end of this month allows DNN 4.3.5+ portals to control the authentication and authorization of external ASP.NET (both 1.1 and 2.0) applications.

No code changes at all for external 2.0 apps...I'm still niggling through the 1.1 implementation...if a change is required it is likely a small change to existing code you already have.
