FormsAuthentication

I add the asp LoginForm usercontrol to a web part and use it for login in kentico

It work only for one user!!!

The Page.User.Identity is a System.Web.Security.FormsIdentity for the working user
and a System.Security.Principal.GenericIdentity for non working user

My authenticate function return always true and i set the event.authenticated = true of the login form

I think the problem is with the type but i cant figure out how resolve it

Thanks

Kentico Developer	kentico_helenag - 9/21/2010 7:34:36 AM RE:FormsAuthentication Hello, I am not sure why you use ASP.NET login instead of Kentico Login, however, could you please try to authenticate users by our API? Please see here for a sample code: Authenticating user You could also consider the custom security handler: Custom security handler Best regards, Helena Grulichova

RE:FormsAuthentication

i dont know, it is only to eliminate risk of user with permission on the client website, a user who can change content instead of using services provided by the website...

Im not very familiar with user and permission in kentico, for now i have all permission, so i dont know who can do what with specified permission

Probably in the next project i'll use your sample instead of my tricky code with FormsIdentity...

Thanks
