Strange sign in/out problem after upgrade to 2.3.5.5

Hi All,

I've just upgraded a couple of our sites from 2.3.3.4 MSSQL/IIS to 2.3.5.5/asp.net 4, and I now have a strange problem to do with being signed-in:

  • If I go to, for example, the home page, it shows me as being signed-out, even if I previously signed-in and told it to remember.  
  • If I then click on Sign-In, the page refreshes and I can see myself as signed-in without having to actually go through the sign-in page.  
  • If I click on another menu it takes me to the page (or refreshes the home page) but I'll appear as signed-out again.
  • I have certain pages that can only be seen by logged-in users.  These are visible when I've clicked on the sign-in link as detailed above, but if I click on one one of those menus it takes me back to the home page signed-out again.

I've tried a number of skins (including ones that came with the latest version) but it made no difference.

For one site I started from scratch with a get of the 2.3.3.5 and just dropped the old skin files in (and tweaked them).  For the other site I dropped the new files (minus site skins) over the existing site files.

I've had a rummage through the forum and can't anyone reporting a similar problem (apologies if I've missed it though) - any ideas?

Thanks

Ian

Hi Ian,

I have seen this happen when the site is configured for extensionless urls but this setting isn't set in the web.config:

<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true">

HTH,
