Hi every one

I have a web application.
I used Forms authentication and set Login.aspx as the Login url.
So when I try to enter any other page url in my address bar Iam redirected to Login page as per its setting.

But now I need to give a link called Register in Login.aspx page.
Clicking on Register link should take me to Register.aspx page.
But as per authentication settings I am redirected to Login page.

So is there a way to omit or escape the register.aspx page from this authentication setting?

Thanks in advance.

Add following in your web.config

<location allowOverride="true" path="Register.aspx">
    <system.web>
      <authorization>
        <allow users="*" />
      </authorization>
    </system.web>
  </location>

It seems you are playing with the SQL Authentication for the first time ;) .
SQL Authentication is my favorite. It reduces lot of your code work regarding authentication and authorization.

The solution to your problem is providing explicit access to the webpage you want to show without authentication. Just add below lines in your Web.Config and you are ready to go:

Under the <configuration> tag enter below lines-

XML

<location path="File Path">
        <system.web>
            <authorization>
                <allow users="*"/>
            </authorization>
        </system.web>
    </location>
