CMS login is not working
Hi Vishal,
Do you know if you are using SQL Membership or Asp.net Identity for authorisation/ authentication?
If you are using sql membership it might be worth migrating to asp.net identity as per this blog post:

Hi,
I do not remember any breaking changes regarding authentication, but you could check the docs:
- https://docs.developers.optimizely.com/content-management-system/v11.0.0-cms/docs/breaking-changes-cms-10
- https://docs.developers.optimizely.com/content-management-system/v11.0.0-cms/docs/breaking-changes-cms-11
Also, I would recommend upgrading one major version at a time, and then check that everything works before you proceed to the next major version. Now, you do not know if the error occured upgrading from 9 to 10, or from 10 to 11.
You could (locally) change the location-element of web.config like this, to allow accessing admin mode without logging in. You can then check the users and access rights.
<location path="EPiServer/CMS/admin">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="*" />
</authorization>
</system.web>

Hello,
We recently upgraded CMS version 9.9.1 to 11.20.7 and we are not able to login CMS. We are using webforms.
What we are trying is to hit localhost/util/login.aspx and enter username and password. We dont even get validation message if we enter invalid username and password combination.
Any idea on how to proceed with such issue please
