How to do Forms Authentication on purely HTML pages using ASP.NET?
I am using forms authentication in IIS7 to password-protect a dev site, but the authentication seems to get by-passed when the site contains only static HTML files + login.aspx + web.config. When I renamed the files to .aspx, I am prompted with the login form I am not doing anything fancy. I have a very simple login script and it should just redirect to index.html afterward. Any suggestions? To summarize, the entire site is using HTML (for now) and needs to be password protected. <authentication mode="Forms"> <forms name="appNameAuth" path="/" loginUrl="~/login.aspx" defaultUrl="index.html"
