  Hi,
  I am creating website in sitefinity. I want to add user registration and login functionality in the website.
  There is already default authentication used for Sitefinity and other user authenticated page.
  I want to use existing authentication for sitefinity section and want to create new authentication for those registered users for my after login pages.
  How can I do the same.
  Please help................

  Hi shraddha,
  
  If both the authentication pages will be accessed with the same username and password for a user you should use one membership provider that has been set in your web.config file. For these page you can use Login control and set Destination page url.  All pages that you do not want to be accessible from not authenticated users can be set as "Deny Annonymous" from page porperties or you can use Page.Request.IsAuthenticated in a user control.
  
  Let us know if there is anything else that we can do for you.

  Hi Ivan,
  thanx for the reply.....
  But i have to keep those users separate, as registration fields and validations are predefined for those users. And there will be some more user specific data that i want to store. So it will be better that we use different authentication and authorization.

  Hi shraddha,

  Then for the second authentication use different membership provider and persists user's specific data.

  HI Ivan,
  I want to keep login page for both the types of users separate. Even if I use different membership provider for those users, how can i give different authentication and login url for both the types?
  I want to use ~/sitefinity/login.aspx for all the pages in /sitefinity section.
  And the other pages for which I select "Anonymous access= deny", for those pages to access, user should get redirected to some other login page.

  Hi shraddha,
  
  In Sitefinity/login.aspx.cs, on Page_Load event add the following logic
  
  

  string redirectUrl = Request.QueryString["ReturnUrl"];

  if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(redirectUrl) && !redirectUrl.StartsWith("/sitefinity"))

  {

  Response.Redirect("~/publicLoginPage.aspx?ReturnUrl=" + redirectUrl);

  }

  
  If the request come from a website page you will be redirected to a publicLoginPage where a user have to be authenticated. If your request contains "/sitefinity" you will be redirected to the backend login page.
  
  I hope this helps.
