Using v 4.0.2.1 with version 1.0 of umbraco Member Controls package.
The login control works fine until you browse away from the site and try to go back to the password protected page. The site still shows the logged in message (my logged on name and a log out link) in my site header via the macro added to the masterpage, but the password protected page always shows the login screen as if it needs to reauthenticate that I have access. However, because the site thinks I'm still logged in, the "PanelSignIn" panel doesn't show, instead it is showing the "PanelSignOut" panel.
The easy solution for me is to simply log out which switches the state of the login page to show the PanelSignIn panel, but that is not at all how a user would expect it to work.
I would suggest using the the built in ASP.net Login controls to manage permission within the site. You could then use <asp:loginview to display different headers etc based on if they are logged in or not.
Login control only half recognizes member

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

I recently had some issues with the 'member controls' doing the same thing, and I agree with Skiltz...
Although the default markup isn't great, you can easily modify the output of the <asp:login to display things as you want.
If we use asp.net membership instead of umbraco member controls, won't we lose the abililty to manage members inside the CMS?
NO. All works excatly the same.
is working on a reply...
