Does CreateUserWizard call FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie?

Question

Hi

1) I assume that when CreateUserWizard.LoginCreatedUser is set to true, the control calls FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie, which in turn creates an authentication ticket (I’m pretty certain that the control doesn’t call FormsAuthentication.RedirectfromLoginPage )

2) From MSDN:

When the LoginCreatedUser property is set to true, the user will be created and logged in at the end of the CreateUserStep step.

I don’t think that’s true, since when the page displays CompleteWizardStep, user is not yet logged in?!

thanx

Answer 1

Using Reflector I can see that it calls FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(username, false); right after the CreatingUser event fires.

So it logs the user in, but without a persistent cookie.
