Hi,

I have my website in which there are free links and links that require login. Free links open even if the user is not logged in. But in case of links that require login, redirect to login.aspx specified in Web.Config in loginURL tag.

I want some way to override this and show Ajax modal popup (Ajax extender toolkit) with login control for only those links that require login (not for the free links).

And yes, I am using Master Page for the web application.

Please help me in achieving this functionality. :sigh:

Thanks,
Amit

I dont understand the meaning of overriding in your context.
Whenever any link needs login, you just need to check on Pageload of that page, if the user is not loggedin, the open the login page in modelpopup. You can achieve this using iframe in modelpopup. Once user authenticated, you can redirect the user to appropriate page.

Brij you did not understand my question. When a page is opened which required authentication first, the application will redirect to Login page without going to the requested page. I dont want to go to the login page, instead I want to track when the login page gets called and open the modal popup (which is already there in Ajax extender toolkit for .net 3.5)

I just need to understand how to know which request needs authentication. If I can track that, I can make everything workout.
