Two websites, same FormsAuthentica tionTicket?

We have two different websites, both written in ASP.NET 2.0/C#, running
in different virtual directories on the same server.

They both use forms authentication.

Their FormsAuthentica tionTicket cookies seem to overwrite each other.

In the respective application root's web.config add a unique setting for the
authentication name property:
<authenticati on mode="Forms">
<forms
name="MyApplica tion.ASPXAUTH"
path="/"
loginUrl="~/Login.aspx"
... etc.

Jeff,

Configure the authentication section in your web.config file to use a unique
name for the authentication cookie. The virtual directory name/alias is a
good choice.

<forms name="VirtualDi rectoryAlias" ... />

I want to have logic in place that check's the user's...

I setup FormsAuthentication on a couple websites where it has been working as expected for a long time. I used this code to setup the same type of authentication on a new website I am working on and the Cookie Name is not getting setup the same way. In my Web.config file, I use the following basic settings on both the old and new websites: <authentication mode="Forms"> <forms name="SiteAuth" loginUrl="Logon.aspx" protection="All"

If I did something like that: FormsAuthenticationTicket ticket = new FormsAuthenticationTicket(ID, false, 20); then add the ticket encrypting it to the cookie collection, shouldn't the cookie be deleted for each new session of the application? Session isn't equal to start a new debug, leaving opened the browser while testing?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
