Re: Form Authentication

Hi,

you usually use RedirectFromLoginPage or SetAuthCookie to set the cookie. The FormsAuth infrastructure will transparently decrypt the cookie and populate Context.User on subsequent requests for you. No SessionState needed at all.

look at 

Context.User.Identity.Name and .IsAuthenticated

after authentication

Do I need a session variable to say the user is log on or
SetAuthCookie and GetAuthCookie is enough to do so. Thanks

Hi,
I'm creating a class, that will go to a database and authenticate
if the
user
exist and the password is correct. What I don't understand, is how I
tell my application that the user is authenticated (during a time
period), so It doesn't keep asking for the login. Francisco
