Forms authentication not working with Dynamic Data

Question

User-1246852455 posted

I have visual studio 2008 and using 3.5 sp1.

Also, I have windows web server edition 2008 and sql server 2008 web edition.

If I use windows authentication, I can hit the website:

    <authentication mode="Windows" />
      <identity impersonate="true" />
      <customErrors mode="Off"/>

But once I switch to forms authentication:

      <authentication mode="Forms">
      <forms cookieless="UseCookies" defaultUrl="~/Default.aspx"
            domain="" enableCrossAppRedirects="false"
            loginUrl="~/Default.aspx" name=".ASPXAUTH"
            path="/" protection="All" requireSSL="false"
            slidingExpiration="true" timeout="30" />
        </authentication>
      <identity impersonate="false" />

Even if only a simple one:
      <authentication mode="Forms">
            <forms name=".ASPXAUTH" loginUrl="~/Default.aspx" protection="All" timeout="999999"/>
        </authentication>
      <identity impersonate="false" />

It errors when I try to go to the /List.aspx page:
Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON'.

What can I do to get forms authentication to work?

I tried this:

      <identity impersonate="true" />

And that seems to be the problem. That fixed it as far as I can tell.

thanks!

The default for Authentication is  disabled. You can also set this in IIS Manager by selecting the web site. Select the Features View in the center panel, select Authentication under the IIS area,  right click
ASP.NET Impersonation     Disabled
and set it to enabled. You can also set Identity to impersonate here.
