Hi all,

I'm suffering from this problem unfortunately. Site is www.myxbox.co.uk

Don't have any problems at another place I use the forums though : www.bba-reman.com/forums

Cheers

Nick

Great to hear this seems to have been resolved. I did perform testing here to try and replicate this problem but was not able to reproduce locally. I did manage to replicate this at your web site. I'll keep a close eye on this. We've reviewed the code and can't see anything that would obviously cause this.

I would suggest you use "/" within the <authentication/> path attribute, this will ensure the cookie is domain-wide.

I'll keep this topic updated with any progress or similar problems.

FYI : In my continuing development, I have integrated my site and IF v4.0. In doing so, my project now references some IF dll files and the web.config files have been altered.

After making these changes, my login problem has disappeared??? After ftping these changes to my web server, the problem has disappeared there as well..

Very strange.. anyway... It's working now!!

I tried "/forum/" and I tried "forum/" and in both cases I couldn't even log into the forum....

It only works for me with "/"

Hmmmm... I wonder if this is also giving me my Integration problems:

http://support.instantasp.co.uk/Topic6774-37-1.aspx

If I change IF's to "/forum/"... and my website has "/"... that probably will not work... but then again.. it isn't working the way it is now anyway..

I'll keep you all posted...

I have a large night of development planned...

P.S. For those in the US.. have a great Memorial Day weekend!!!

Thanks Jimmy,

I'll give this is a shot at my first opportunity... which thankfully will be soon :D

That would probably fix it. The default setting is "/" and would only work if the Forum was installed in the root of the site. Cristiano's didn't work originally because the existing / is a leading one.

Bare since your's are at domain.com/forum then I bet "/forum/" would work for you.

I think Ryan needs to update the web.config file with a notation that this needs to be changed and most people will never catch it.

I'll take a look at this, although I've never modified the forms authentication code within IF's web.config.

Thanks for the input..

I had this problem with RC2 - the way I solved it was by adjusting the forms authentication - originally in the web.config I had the path set to "forums/". I found by changing it to "/forums/" that the login problem went away.

I thought so to, but when I look at the cookie, it expires on 12/31/2019.

The cookie from this forum, also expires on 12/31/2019 & this site remembers me.

It's just weird... and very very annoying...

It happens on my RC2 development installs & it happens on my productive RC2 forum... I've tried this on 2 different pc's at home & on some systems at work... It's all the same..

The next time I get logged off... I'm then going to look at the cookie, to see if it still exists or for some reason expired...

I'll update in this thread...

As a general behavior, it is not the correct behavior. Looks like the cookie is expiring.

RC2 - Can't stay logged in

I believe this was an earlier posting, but I couldn't find it.

Ever since I installed RC2, I've been unable to stay logged in. If I log in and check the 'remember me' checkbox... and then sit idle for awhile, I get logged off.

Is this correct?
