Authentication Cookie?

Using the "SetAuthCoo kie" method of the "FormsAuthentic ation" object
sets a cookie which can be used to validate users.

Now assume that a user tries to visit an ASPX page named
"Account.as px". Before rendering the contents of "Accounts.aspx" , using
the FormsAuthentica tion object, I want the app to first check whether a
cookie exists or not. If no, the user should be redirected to a login
page, say, "Login.aspx " & after successful validation (i.e. after
creating a cookie) should the user be redirected to "Accounts.aspx" .

Is there any method of the "FormsAuthentic ation" object to verify
whether a cookie already exists or not?

Thanks,

Arpan

I tried on the Security newgroup, as well as other places, and haven't gotten an answer yet - - I'm pulling my hair out over this one. I'm trying to get Forms Authentication working.....I can get any requested page to automatically go to the Login.aspx page, AND, the ReturnURL querystring is correct in the address bar, but no matter what, I can't get it, once the user is authenticated, to redirect to the new page. It ALWAYS refreshes the...

Hi, We're having an issue with Forms Authentication cookies being treated as expired / invalid, and being deleted. This is causing our intranet users a great deal of pain - Running IIS 5.0 on Win2k Server - Forms Authentication is setup with a timeout value of 45 minutes in web.config - Session timeout is set to 45 minutes in web.config

hello, I am using forms authentication and I would like that my authentication cookie expires after let say 1 minutes (just for the exemple).

Dear fellow ASP.NET programmer, I stared using forms authentication and temporarily used a <credentials> tag in web.config. After I got it working I realized this wasn't really practical. I cannot write to web.config so I cannot dynamically update the credentials while the site is up. Since the FormsAuthentication.Authenticate() method's documentations claims the following: "Attempts to validate the credentials against those contained...

I'm building an ASPNET2 website which uses forms authentication but does not use the Microsoft-supplied membership providers (mostly because I don't want to create my own provider at this point, and the supplied stuff comes with a lot of baggage I don't want/need). In ASPNET1.1 what I would do was something like the following, after authenticating the user on the login form: FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(userInfo.UserID, false); ...

We are in the process of designing our first ASP.NET 2.0 application and have discovered that Forms Authentication works completely differently in ASP.NET 2.0. For a number of reasons, we cannot use the standard login component supplied with ASP.NET 2.0 (e.g. we need full control of the look and feel - including using CSS and not tables for layout - and we need to be able to handle the authentication cookie ourselves rather than let a...
