Problem w Forms Authentication, database

| Hi all,
we've been running a forms authentication using MCMS site happily in
production for a reasonable while now.
Recently, we needed to set up another staging/development site, so we did
set up another mcms server environment, with another database instance,
imported all, and pointed the DCA to the newly set up database.
However now the forms auth application begins to jump to the login dialog
(normally, you get the front page, and only by clicking thru login link you
get to sign up and get the web author console). Something must be wrong with
our staging database, as if we reset the DCA to point to the production
database, forms auth application behaves normally (lets you surf the pages,
log in optional).
Guest account is configured in both databases. Other applications, using
windows authentication, no guest accounts, behave well in the new mcms
server/database env.What could be wrong?
thx in advance
-Arto

| Hi Arto,
did you load balance the servers?
Then you would have to synchronize the ASP.NET encryption keys.
See here for details:
