Hi, I have UserDB working successfully with standard basic authentication. But after going into the properties and switching to cookie authentication it does not work. Now when I try to access a propected page it just skips authentication and shows the page. And if I switch back to standard basic authentication then reload the page, it pops up a login dialog box. can anyone help? thanks much __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
