Using an ancient version of DNN - 05.06.02 (144)

Under Admin - User Accounts - User Settings I am working with the Redirect After Login and Redirect After Registration options.

My setting for Redirect After Registration works fine, but my setting for Redirect After Login is ignored and the user logging in is always taken to the home page despite the setting that should direct them elsewhere. I have even tried a few variations - same results.

Any ideas on what I can start checking to get this to work properly?

Thanks.

Hi Kyle,

That is strange but I would check if the setting is there is the DB by running:

select * from portalsettings where settingname = 'Redirect_AfterLogin'

See what comes up.

Sincerely,
Andy

The correct SettingValue is being written to Redirect_AfterLogin.

Hi Kyle,

Hard to troubleshoot on such old version of DNN. My obvious recommendation is an upgrade.

But before that, you may want to see if Fiddler can provide you some insights. There might be some strange redirection going on

It has helped me countless times.

Also, check the event log for errors.

Hi Andy,

Thanks for the feedback. I installed Fiddler but do not know what to do now. Can you push me towards the right path? Thanks.

Hi Kyle,

Activated Fiddler so it can start "sniffing" your web traffic. Then try to login and see if it show any strange redirect. (301 or something else)

To be honest this may lead you no where, but might be worth.

BTW, I'm having a similar problem on a more recent version of DNN and cannot find the solution either. So you might be barking the wrong tree
