Forms authentication and IIS (General questions)

In IIS 7 (and more recent - and maybe already on IIS6) there is a new type of authentication that was added, FORMS AUTHENTICATION to be precise. Any idea if this will be added to the wodHTTPdlx component (and type of authentication)?

Hi Dirk,

Seems that for this type of authentication you can use standard POST and send login and password there as standard POST request inside wodHttpDLX.

Can you maybe try that and let us know how it goes?

Yes but ....

The way it works is that a user requests my_page (or any other page) and IF authentication is needed then the user is redirected to a form page were a username/password can be entered and if that is correctly entered the user gets redirected to the initialy requested page (my_page).
If you would directly go to the forms page and enter teh username/password (via post) then you can't get the auto-redirect to the requested page.
From my point of view this new type of authentication should be handled by the component and not by the developper using the component.

Dirk,

Is there any chance we can test this using your server maybe?

For the moment I have no webserver set-up like this.
If you have your own Win2008 (even a test version) it should be easy to test based on the example that you can find on the web.
I got questions from my customers regarding OWA (Outlook Web Access) that seems to be using webforms too.

Dirk,

For some reason I cannot duplicate this problem on our side. If you can it would be best if we can connect to your server and duplicate your issue.

You can also point us to some example that will reproduce this issue and we will be glad to try it out on our side.
