Hello!
I am just learning about forms authentication so please excuse this basic
question. I am using .NET 1.1 and C#.
I have created my web.config file and my login.aspx and the associated cs
file using
examples on MSDN. I have created a FormsAuthentica tionTicket and cookie and
added the cookie to the response and then set the SetAuthCookie etc. When I
go to the redirected page, I am not sure how to read the cookie value so I
know who the user is!
In my FirstPage.aspx. cs's Page Load method, I have
string userID = Request.Cookies[FormsAuthentica tion.FormsCooki eName].Value;
which is blank. My question is, once I read have created the ticket and
cookie, how to I read it ? Most examples I am looking at talk about the
creating tickets and cookies in forms authentication and not how to read the
cookie so any help will be greatly appreciated. Do I need to decrypt the
ticket?cookie?
Thanks, 8 2149
Hi,
In below link it shows how to authenticate cookies in other pages. http://www.15seconds.com/Issue/020220.htm
Search for User.Identity.I sAuthenticated in above link.
Also To enable forms authentication, cookies must be enabled on the client
browser. If the client disables cookies, the cookie generated by Forms
Authentication is lost and the client will not be able to authenticate.
Hope this helps

If the auth cookie is coming back from the browser, you should be getting the
cookie with your code:
Request.Cookies[FormsAuthentica tion.FormsCooki eName].Value. Not sure if the
auth cookie is really sent to the browser (thru Response.Redire ct (target
page after authentication) in your case.
Anyway, Context.User.Id entity.Name gives the currently logged on user's name
(including Forms Auth mode). However, this works only if the auth cookie was
received from the browser.

Thank you Siva and Manish. I am now getting the user name like so:
Page.User.Ident ity.Name.
Also, I printed the value for Page.User.Ident ity.IsAuthentic ated (True)
and Page.User.Ident ity.Authenticai onType (Forms), so I am guessing that I
am using forms authentication and the cookie is being sent to the browser.
What you are saying is that
Request.Cookies[FormsAuthentica tion.FormsCooki eName].Value should also have
the value of the user name, right ? I will recheck my code to see why that
is blank.
Thanks,
LW

The cookie will NOT have the actual user name, but the encrypted
FormsAuthentica tionTicket instance represnting the current user name and
additional data. To get the user name from the cookie value:
FormsAuthentica tion.Decrypt
(Request.Cookie s[FormsAuthentica tion.FormsCooki eName].Value).Name

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.
