Multiple Login Pages?

Nothing sensitive, just text saying something like "To
administer your
site, please login." What I will do is check the url
they are trying to
reach and display the appropriate text. That should work as
an
appropriate workaround.

Hi,

You can of course create your own login page (for admins)
but they will
have to navigate themselves to that login page since asp.net
supports
only one login page currently. That is it will always
redirect to one
login page as noted in the web.config.

May I ask what is on that admin login page that should not
belong on the
customer login page? Because no "sensitive"
information should be placed
on any login page ..

As Ryan suggested, you can either use the same login page or
two different
ones.
The only way you could use the same login page is if all of
your logins are
validated by the method which returns a validated user.  The
you will know
if your validated user is an admin or a regular user thereby
allowing you to
redirect to a specified location.  You can also use the
web.config file to
designated particular directories for access to only
specific users.

Alternatively, you can create two web projects with two
web.config files.

Later,
Mike
