Hi everyone,
I am stomped with trying to redirect the user to the password recovery page when they are not logged on of course. Because I have the authorization to deny all unauthenticated users access it seems the asp.net security doesn't have an exception to this rule for passwordRecovery page. Below are my settings on the web config file
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms cookieless="AutoDetect" loginUrl="login.aspx" name="CHRAUT"/>
</authentication>
<authorization>
<deny users="?"/>
</authorization>
In my membership provider i have set enablePasswordRetrieval to true as well.
Any suggestions will be great help

Hello clekkas,
Add
<location path="passwordrecoverypage
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="*" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
To the <Configuration /> section of your web.config. This adds an exception to your authentication allowing all users access to this specific location. You can be as floexible as you like here, allowing specific folders or just certain pages. Or you can do it the other way around and only required authentication for certain folders/pages.
Regards,
