Forms Authentication question

Hi buddies,

I have a question.

I want to use the forms authentication in my web app.

My user login. The cookie is stored in the client machine and some
important information is stored in session variables.

What will happen if the user closes the browser and reopen to relog in
the application? I mean, the cookie is not expired yet so the login is
automatic, but, I have no session informations consequently my app
should fail (I assume).

Am I missing something or I have to create a workaround to bypass this
situation?

Thanks in advance

What you can do is, in the session_end you can delete formauthenticat ion
cookie by using signout method of formsauthentica tion.

The other thing you can do is to put in the cookie enough information to
reconstruct your Session data.

Hi I am using role base forms authentication in asp.net and have come across a problem that I would like advice on. On a successful login a session variable is set to identify a user. This is all good as this session variable is used to retrieve data for that user etc. However if I restart the webserver then the users session is lost but the ticket is still active. Therefore the user is not redirected back to the login page.
