Getting a 401.5 Error in SharePoint when it tries to display the login page. Any ideas where to start debugging?

  • 772

I have a site I am configuring to support forms based authentication in SharePoint. I am stuck because I get a 401.5 error (unauthorized) when the login page is displayed.

Any tips for getting started in the debugging process?

I already know that 401.5 means an ISAPI Filter has told IIS the request is not authorized.

    May be related to Wildcard Application Mapping, or non-standard Application Mapping.

  2. FYI, issue was caused by login page code behind and custom ASP.Net module that was trying to access SharePoint via SPContext.

    Even though the code was using "RunElevatedPrivlage" the thread was not allowed to peak at the SharePoint data.
