This site is quite old, not developed by me, .net 4.0, portal templates. Current hosting company has contacted me to try and trouble-shoot a problem they're having, and it's something I've never run into in my 10+ years of developing and hosting Kentico sites.
The site files and database were moved from the original server (which apparently "died") to a new server a few weeks ago. The public facing site is running fine, and doesn't appear to have any errors. However, if you try to access CMSDesk by logging in via the login page (ie, http://[domain]/CMSPages/logon.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fcmsdesk%2f) you can't get past the login screen after submitting valid username/password. The blank login form is just presented again.
I don't have direct access to the database to query CMS_EventLog, but I've asked the dba to query most recent records, and he tells me it is recording successful authentication, and no error. So I've tried going directly to http://[domain]/cmsdesk (and also tried http://[domain]/cmssitemanager), but I'm just presented with the blank login form at http://[domain]/CMSPages/logon.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fcmsdesk%2f, which indicates to me that authentication didn't succeed.
Anyone else experienced anything like this before?
