Hello Manuel,

can you confirm that IE sends the auth cookie on subsequent requests?

use a tool like www.fiddlertool.com to check that

Hello Manuel,

that basically give access to everyone - no authentication.

so you say that IE does not send the forms auth cookie?? then this is a client
settings. Check the cookie settings in IE.

How can a MS ASP.NET forms authentication work in Mozilla but not IE6?
I haven't been able to make a site work in IE, it always throws me back to
login page whereas in Mozilla it works just fine!

It doesn't :(

I found out that it works if I remove the following entry on the Web.config
file:

<authorization>
<deny users="?" /> <!-- Deny Non-Logged In users -->
</authorization>

I'm confused, could you explain the consequences of removing it?
