Is User Authenticated?

shapper

Hello,

I need to check if a user is authenticated. I tried everything I could
think and find:

If Membership.Vali dateUser("shapp er", "27lamps11" ) Then
Response.Write( Request.IsAuthe nticated.ToStri ng)
Response.Write( My.User.IsAuthe nticated.ToStri ng)
Response.Write( Me.User.Identit y.IsAuthenticat ed.ToString)
Else
Response.Write( "# User is Not Authenticated #")
End If

I get "FalseFalseFals e".

What is going on?

Thanks,
Miguel

I have already explained to you that Authentication is not the same as validating Membership.

You will *always* get False when validating Membership data
against Authenticated users, who must login with Windows credentials.

Hi Juan,

It is working now. Could you tell me if this is the right way:
If Membership.Vali dateUser("usern ame", "pass") Then
FormsAuthentica tion.SetAuthCoo kie("shapper", True)
Response.Write( Request.IsAuthe nticated.ToStri ng)
Response.Write( My.User.IsAuthe nticated.ToStri ng)
Response.Write( User.Identity.I sAuthenticated. ToString)
Else
Response.Write( "# User is Not Authenticated #")
End If

And can you tell me which code line should I use to verify if a user is
authenticated:
Request.IsAuthe nticated.ToStri ng, My.User.IsAuthe nticated.ToStri ng or
User.Identity.I sAuthenticated. ToString?

Thank You,
Miguel

Which ones return valid responses ?
You can use any which return valid responses.

Remember, they will only produce valid results if you're using Forms Authentication and Membership.
They will *not* authenticate a user if you're using Windows Integrated Security.
