The Login Status control displays a login link for users who are not authenticated and a logout link for users who are authenticated. The login link takes the user to a login page. The logout link resets the current user's identity to be an anonymous user.

You can customize the appearance of the Login Status control by setting the Login Text and Login Image Url properties. The login link automatically redirects to the configured login page, and the logout link automatically calls the method Form Authentication. Sign Out for logging off the user.

<asp:LoginStatus ID="LoginStatus1" runat="server"
LoginText="Sign In"
LogoutText="Sign Out"
LogoutPageUrl="~/Default.aspx"
LogoutAction="Redirect"
onloggedout="LoginStatus1_LoggedOut" />

Login Status control properties:

  • Login Text The text displayed if the user is not signed in.

  • Login Image Url A URL for an image displayed as an icon for the login link.

  • Logout Text The text displayed if the user is authenticated.

  • Logout Image Url A URL for an image displayed as an icon for the logout link.

  • Logout Action Configures the action the control performs if the user clicks the logout link that is displayed when the user is authenticated. Valid options are Refresh, Redirect, and Redirect To Login Page. The first option just refreshes the current page, the second option redirects to the page configured in the Logout Page Url , and the last option redirects to the login page.

  • Logout Page Url A page to redirect to if the user clicks the logout link and the Logout Action is set to Redirect.

In my attached sample I am redirecting to new page after login. If login is successfully then will redirect to new page and you can see new link Sign Out.

This is login Page.

After successfully login it redirect to Login Status page. If user is authenticated the Sign Out link should be enable else Sign In link should be enable

If you click on Sign Out, it redirects to Login Page.
