Hi all,

I have an Umbraco 4.5.2 site which has authenticated sections for 'members'.

The issue I'm having is that when viewing the frontend site with the root URL (e.g. [site].com/), It shows the site as unauthenticated (when actually logged in). Clicking through to any other page (including the same root page via it's full url - [site].com/home.aspx) shows the user as logged in.

The two visibly affected page controls are the navigation menu, and the "You are logged in / not logged in" control in the header.

Site structure:

Content
  - Home
    - Auth section 1
    - Auth section 2
    - Public section 1
    - Public section 2

Nav XSLT snippet:

<xsl:if test="umbraco.library:HasAccess(@id,@path) = 1">
  <xsl:if test="umbraco.library:IsLoggedOn() = 1">

"You are logged in as" user control determines its status with a call to:

protected override void OnPreRender(EventArgs e)
    {
        [...]
        var isLoggedIn = Request.IsAuthenticated;

To summarize: When logged in as a member,

• site.com/ - Shows as unauthorized
• site.com/home.aspx - Shows as authorized
