We have numberous websites that run a simple forms authentication against a SQL server database that contains user information. They are all textbook implementations and have worked flawlessly for years. Opening the website in Internet Explorer, however, fails miserably.
1. Navigate to website and the public facing page displays fine.
2. Click on any content and reditedted to login page which displays fine.
3. Login with username and password and you are properly directy to the content. However, every navigation request requires a new login.. URLs contain a hugely long and useless string, e.g.,
4. Here is our authorization tag from web.config:
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms loginUrl="/login.aspx" name=".ASPXFORMSAUTH" protection="All" timeout="30" path="/"/>
</authentication>
5. What is going on? I need to get this fixed ASAP, certainly before the release of IE 10 for Windows 7.
Thank you in advance for any help, suggestions, or pointers?
