    Default Redirect behaviour with admin sign in

    Hi,

    If I go to /admin when i am not logged in I get redirected to /signin.aspx instead of /admin/signin.aspx. Is this a known issue or have I broken something? I am pretty sure that my admin area and the relevant sections of web.config at the root and under /admin are unchanged.

    Thanks,

    Richard

    Are your LiveServer and AdminDir appconfig parameters set correctly? It shouldn't be a terribly big deal; you should be redirected to admin/default.aspx once you've logged in

    Thanks for the hints but those parameters are both set correctly. Do you have any other ideas? Although the redirect works to send you back to the admin, it is annoying because if password expiry or too many failed attempts gets triggered it needs the admin login page to handle it.

    The only time we have ever seen this occur is if the admindir is set incorrectly. Please check that AppConfig for any misspellings. In *very* old versions it could also be an issue with case sensitivity in the appconfig, but we resolved that one years ago.
