Thanks Joe for reply.

Now I know I can't use cache to store user's role.

I have my role definition in sql database. I am trying my best to avoid
query database in Application_AuthenticateRequest.
At this point, I am using user data in authentication ticket but i don't
like the fact that user role information is being stored at client's cookie
storage. beside that if client chooses to persist the cookie, then the role
definition might change in time.

I tried to use session object, Nice try but it doen't work becuse i can't
use session object Application_AuthenticateRequest.

Do you have any alternative for querying database and and using user data in
authentication ticket ?

Thanks,
Ali
