Login Page loses styles when using Forms authentication
9 Dec
One of my colleagues faced this problem recently while working on a new asp.net site, where his login page was not rendering as per the default stylesheet whereas all the pages displayed fine once the user logged in. When i looked at his web.config file, i saw that anonymous access was blocked to all resources on the site, and adding an <location> element allowing anonymous access to the images and stylesheets folder fixed the issue.
It looks something like
<location path=”img”>
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users=”*”/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
