Hi, Im setting FormsAuthenticationTicket in the Logon method to manually create an authentication cookie. How do I validate that authentication cookie and assign it the Current.User object. Is it done in the Global.asax page?
Logon code:
FormsAuthenticationTicket Authticket = new
FormsAuthenticationTicket(1,
model.UserName,
DateTime.Now,
DateTime.Now.AddYears(1),
true,
"",
FormsAuthentication.FormsCookiePath);
string hash = FormsAuthentication.Encrypt(Authticket);
HttpCookie Authcookie = new HttpCookie(FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName, hash);
if (Authticket.IsPersistent) Authcookie.Expires = Authticket.Expiration;
Response.Cookies.Add(Authcookie);
if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(returnUrl))
{
return Redirect(returnUrl);
}
return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
How do i read this cookie and validate the user? my code so far in the global.asax file:
HttpCookie authCookie = Request.Cookies[FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName];
if (authCookie != null)
{
FormsAuthenticationTicket authTicket = FormsAuthentication.Decrypt(authCookie.Value);
FormsIdentity id = new FormsIdentity(authTicket);
GenericPrincipal principal = new GenericPrincipal(id,null);
Context.User = principal;
}
