I have implemented a custom user class and am using my own forms authentication solution. Everything works great, but whenever someone logs on, they are initially put on a page with this URL: hostname/default.aspx?g=info&i=4. Instead, I want the user to wind up on hostname/default.aspx?g=forum. I've been trying to look through the code to see where this is being assigned, but haven't had any luck so far. In case this was a simple newbie problem, I thought I'd shoot a post out on these boards to see if someone had a quick answer.
I'm running v 1.9.1.8 under .Net 2.0 within IIS (no GoDaddy, DNN, Rainbow, etc.)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How do they log in? If you are using a custom user class then YAF isn't doing any logging in. "When you are grateful, fear disappears and abundance appears”."

We have an internal authentication system that involves redirecting to a separate server for credentials, then redirecting back to the original URL with a callback ID (encrypted, IP address specific), which is then used to fetch an authentication token. I've traced it all the way through the end of ForumPage_Load in ForumPage.cs, and everything looks fine, then I jump into info.ascx.cs, and I can't seem to figure out how I got there. I'm continuing to work the problem. Like I said, I thought I would just post to see if this was an obvious configuration issue that I missed. If/when I get the solution, I'll post it in this thread.

P.S. It also seems wierd that even as an administrator I get a message saying "Access Denied" (which I get when I'm directed to default.aspx?g=info&i=4). I would think an administrator is God and can go anywhere.

A Custom User Proxy plugin class supported without resorting to hacking the authentication system might have been preferable: http://forum.yetanotherf...id-I-do-this-right.aspx

Access Denied can pop up if the URL is invalid as well. Your code is redirecting incorrectly somewhere. "When you are grateful, fear disappears and abundance appears”."

It's probably hitting the "post from a different referring URL" security feature. When a post is made to YAF via a different referring URL it will give Access Denied. "When you are grateful, fear disappears and abundance appears”."

There was no hacking involved. I did just what you suggested, implementing my own custom user class and made the configuration change in yafnet.config: Code:
<CustomUserAssembly>WSSOIntegration.dll</CustomUserAssembly>
<CustomUserClass>WSSOIntegration.WSSOUser</CustomUserClass>
For the authentication, I simply modified web.config, changing the <authentication> tag to: Code:<authentication mode="Forms"/> and adding an http handler: Code:<add name="WssoLiteAuthenticationModule" type="Boeing.MIIRS.WssoLiteAuthentication.WssoLiteAuthenticationModule"/> As I said, this actually works very well, with the exception of the landing page. I made sure to set IsAuthenticated and Name, and when a user logs on for the first time, they are automatically aded to the user table (something I thought I might have to hack).

When a post is made to YAF via a different referring URL it will give Access Denied. Bingo. That did it. Thanks! Todd
