My app creates a randomly-generated password when an account is created. I just tried to log in with a new account, and ASP.Net treated the following password as malicious input:
vkx&#!n#
Do we know why this particular password triggers a validation exception?
Exception information: Exception type: HttpRequestValidationException Exception message: A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client (ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$txtPassword="vkx&#!n#").
I have a folder within my website called 'ProtectedPages' which contains pages which users can only see if they have logged in (MyAccount.aspx etc). If they bookmark that page and try to go to it without logging-in, they are immediately bounced to my login page.However, if I have text files, images etc. in there, then it seems users can get to these fine without the need to login - all they need is the URL. For example, I could send the URL http://mysite.com/ProtectedPages/MyAccount.aspx to a friend and he wouldn't be able to access it until he had logged in. However, I could send himttp://mysite.com/ProtectedPages/ATextDocument.txt and it would show it to him without any problems.How would I go about protecting ALL files within this folder? I have a web.config file within the ProtectedPages folder which just has this information in it (I don't want TrainingAdministrator's to have access to that folder at all)

I have a requirement where I have to transfer a user from Web Site 1 on Server A to web Site 2 on Server B.

I have a ajaxPopupExtender in where I placed a login control. But when I login i get a full postback. I've tried to put it all in an updatepanel but that didnt help.
What I want is for the client to login from the popup Window, in case of login error I want to show that error message in popup (still visible). But if the login in successful I can in codebehind do a full postback.
