Multiple login pages

Hi,

I want to secure a certain section of my site, and I know how I can achive this using groups etc.

But, I want to direct users who try to access that section when not logged in to a different (custom skinned) login page to the one when a user tries to access the CMS (which uses the default built in one).

Any suggestions on how to achieve this please?

Thanks
Danny

The easiest is to have one login page with some logic that returns a different view based on the conditions you set (could check the return url querystring parameter for instance).

A control like MultiView lets you easily define multiple views.

Hope this helps.

Yeah, I guess that's an option, but I'd rather not implement a new logon page for the entire site.

So, I am guessing that it's not possible to have the 2 login pages then?

Thanks
Danny

Not out of the box (this is standard ASP.NET functionality). If you google/bing ASP.NET multiple login pages you'll probably get a lot of different solutions that you can build upon.
