iis

Hi, We have a similar problem. We have a web application running under default appdomain. It was working fine until a week before...Suddenly it has encountered a problem. Below message is taken from event logs.

Event code: 4005 Event message: Forms authentication failed for the request. Reason: The ticket supplied has expired.

Application uses FormsAuthentication and gets the roles from aspnetdb.. After the error, when user logins to the page, it does not redirects to the default.aspx. Again login.aspx comes up. On the other hand application works fine on development server(localhost), but not on www(IIS 6.0).

Does any one has an idea?

Thanks,

Ilknur
