Here is My Code To Log In
var expire = DateTime.Now.AddDays(7);
// Create a new ticket used for authentication
var ticket = new FormsAuthenticationTicket(
1, // Ticket version
username, // Username to be associated with this ticket
DateTime.Now, // Date/time issued
expire, // Date/time to expire
true, // "true" for a persistent user cookie (could be a checkbox on form)
roles, // User-data (the roles from this user record in our database)
FormsAuthentication.FormsCookiePath); // Path cookie is valid for
// Hash the cookie for transport over the wire
var hash = FormsAuthentication.Encrypt(ticket);
var cookie = new HttpCookie(FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName, hash) { Expires = expire };
// Add the cookie to the list for outbound response
Response.Cookies.Add(cookie);
Here Is My Code To Check The Roles. It is a custom IHTTP Module
if (HttpContext.Current.User == null) return;
if (!HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated) return;
if (!(HttpContext.Current.User.Identity is FormsIdentity)) return;
// Get Forms Identity From Current User
var id = (FormsIdentity)HttpContext.Current.User.Identity;
// Get Forms Ticket From Identity object
var ticket = id.Ticket;
// Retrieve stored user-data (our roles from db)
var userData = ticket.UserData;
var roles = userData.Split(',');
// Create a new Generic Principal Instance and assign to Current User
Thread.CurrentPrincipal = HttpContext.Current.User = new GenericPrincipal(id, roles);
Here is my Code To Log Out
FormsAuthentication.SignOut();
Response.Cookies.Remove(FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName);
Session.Clear();
Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);
Response.Cache.SetExpires(DateTime.Now.AddSeconds(-1));
Response.Cache.SetNoStore();
Response.AppendHeader("Pragma", "no-cache");
return View("SignIn");
This is crazy. I have two bald spots now.
