Login / Logout

[MichaelR]

I have an asp.net application using forms authentication.

1. It has a simple login page (login.aspx) that uses
FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(. . . ).
2. My application has a logout function that Redirects to signout.aspx.
Signout.aspx invokes FormsAuthentication.Signout() when it loads.
3. Signout.aspx also has a login button that redirects to my application
page (index.aspx). Because the user is no longer authenticated, asp.net
properly invokes the login.aspx page.
4. If I login again using the same user id, no problem - I go right to
index.aspx.
5. However, if I login using a different user id, I get redirected to
signout.aspx. I've tested the value of FormsAuthentication.GetRedirectUrl(.
.. . ) and it is clearly setting the RedirectUrl to signout.aspx.

Is there some way to prevent this from happening? Is it possible to set the
RedirectUrl using my .Net code? Better yet, is there a recommended way to
implement a login / logout function that will allow different user ids?

Instead of relying on RedirectFromLoginPage you can do the same via
SetAuthCookie and a response.redirect. You can get the redirect URL via
GetRedirectURL

and
