Why Does The Default Forms Authentication Cookie Have A Leading Period In It's Default Name
Mar 21, 2011
the default ASP.NET Forms Authentication cookie sets it's name as ".ASPXAUTH". Notice the first character is a period? Is there a particular reason for this? Like, does this have an impact on domain names or subdomains for the target domain.
Or is it purely some random thing an MS dev person came up with (maybe to help out the ordering of the cookies, when they were debugging or something .. as text with periods prolly get listed before other strings)?

We are developing an application which having two login pages. The problem now is that in the session timeout, the page is redirected to one page which is given in the config file. Is there is any way we can customize the way in which it should redirect to which page depending upon the page where the session timeout is happening.

I have spent a day and a half trying to resolve this issue. Bascially have an ASP.net website with Forms Authentication on IIS7 using Framework 4.0.
The Authorization stuff seems to be working perfectly for every scenario with the exception of hitting it with no document specifed (Should resolve to Default Doc).
For example [URL] works perfectly, this page should allow anon access as specified in the web.config.
but if I hit [URL] Directly it redirects to the login page with Return URL set to "/" or Login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2f
Some things I have tried:
1) Set Authentication to None and then the Default document worked so thats not the issue.
2) Added DefaultDocument attribute to Web.config
3) Deleted all entries for in Default Document list in IIS except for Default.aspx
4) Added MachineKey entry in Config
5) Toggled from Integrated to Classic pipeline in IIS
Here is what's in my config:

In asp.net we specify the redirect url when using forms authentications like this:
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms name="myApp" loginUrl="Login.aspx" protection="All" defaultUrl="default.aspx" path="/" requireSSL="false"/>
</authentication>
this means that when a user log in, will be redirected to "default.aspx" using this method
FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(IDTextBox.Text, RememberCheckBox.Checked);
Now is it possible to make the user choose which page to be redirected to prior to login? for example the user chooses from a list the page to login to prior to login then when authenticated be redirected to this page instead of the default.aspx page. is that possible and if so how can this be done?

We're developping an application that uses forms authentication and URL rewriting (www.urlrewriter.net). In order to make extension-less URL rewriting possible we had to add a default application mapping for the asp.net aspnet_isapi.dll.
The problem we're experiencing now is that when the website is accessed by http://www.myapp.com/ then the aspnet_isapi.dll gets the request and forms authentication forwards it to our login site, so the user gets redirected to http://www.myapp.com/login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2f instead of having default.aspx displayed (which is allowed to anyone).
Here's the part of web.config dealing with forms auth:
<system.web>
<authorization>
<deny users="?"/>
<allow users="*" />
</authorization>
<authentication mode="Forms" >
<forms slidingExpiration="true" cookieless="UseCookies" defaultUrl="default.aspx" loginUrl="default.aspx" name="gzfb_site_test" timeout="525600"></forms>
</authentication>
</system.web>
<location path="default.aspx">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="*"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
I did quite some research on this problem but didn't find any solution. Is this scenario possible at all, or does default application mapping and forms auth using <deny users="?"/> interfere by design?
P.S. the problems only manifest when running on IIS 6, the ASP.net Development Server handles it without any problems

I am trying to secure very mixed content that is located in an ASP.NET directory. For purposes of this question, it can be ~/MyApp/.
I want all of the content in the directory and its subdirectories restricted to authenticated users. The default.aspx page, though, should be accessible to everyone. This is the web.config in that directory:
[Code]....
Now if you are an unauthenticated user, everything works fine if you request [code]....
The problem occurs in that visitors do not always request "Default.aspx". We have a default document configured so that they get Default.aspx even if they just request "/MyApp". An authenticated user works fine, but an unauthenticated user is directed to the login page.
Now I know that essentially this happens because even though the request for "/MyApp/" will actually end up serving up "/MyApp/Default.aspx", the security system is only checking for "/MyApp/" since that is what I requested. That is then getting the default security for the directory.
How can you configure an exception to allow access when no particular file is requested in the directory??
Is there some dependency between DefaultDocumentModule and UrlAuthorizationModule? In this environment, the UrlAuthorizationModule has been removed and re-added in order to make sure it fires for non-managed requests. I would not expect that to change the order of execution, though, since UrlAuthorizationModule usually goes after DefaultDocument.
A workaround could be to set up the opposite security with the directory being open, and then trying to secure individual files. Because of the (changing) number of files, and extensions, etc, and the fact that you cannot use wildcards in a <location>, this is not really a workable solution for me.

When i created a simple site via Matrix which adopts Razor technology by default, i found site automatically display "default.cshtml" if started through "http://localhost:xxxx/bread/" ; however i hadn't set "default.cshtml" as "default document" for this site, even i seek in the "applicationhost.config" i just find
<defaultDocument enabled="true">
<files>
<add value="Default.htm" />
<add value="Default.asp" />
<add value="index.htm" />
<add value="index.html" />
<add value="iisstart.htm" />
<add value="default.aspx" />
</files>
</defaultDocument>
which apparently hasn't "...cshtml" yet. So I am wondering now why in this case the web server actively sets "default.cshtml" as default start page ?

I have a GUI when i log in i create a cookie and it encrypt it. I am usin SSL.
I check in the Login.aspx page if the cookie is secure, which it is. but then before going to the default page it goes to the Global.ascx page.
Here in the Application_AuthenticateRequest it gets the cookie and decrypts it for the default page..
Now i know that it is getting the same cookie as all the other attributes match the one that was created in the Login.aspx page excet that the secure value is "False".
this is the case for all other pages after default. the value of the cookie.secure is false.
why is this happening as i want all the pages to be secure by SSL.
Also the pages are opening as https not http.
here is my web.config

We have a non-SSL ASP.NET web app that allows a user to login (ASP forms authentication, inproc).
Once authenticated, we redirect their browser to an external, SSL secured page on another web site / domain altogether that we do not control.
The client is redirected back to a pre-configured url on our original http web app when done.
However, the customer is then asked to "re-login" again on our side which is undesired...
It seems the forms authentication cookie is destroyed when transitioning between HTTP and HTTPS and back again.
How can I keep the forms authentication cookie alive so that the customer does not have to re-authenticate on the round trip?

I have 2 websites running on localhost in different ports. As browsers do not differentiate port numbers when sending cookies, my forms authentication ticket from one site is being sent to the other
How do I solve this? I thought that a good solution would be to change the forms authentication ticket or one of the websites but I don't know how to do this.

We have had a bug recently where users are logging into an application with multiple browser tabs. They are editing a content page which means that they can be working on a page for sometime (ie with no postbacks) They finally click save and because the session has timed out it takes then to login page. I initally resolved they by adding a reminder that the session is about to expire which initally resolved the issue. It has been noted that even when they are within session time out they still got redirected to login page (and loosing the data on the form). We had real problems replicating the issue but have finally managed to do so now and I have learnt some curous features of .net Forms Authentication.
I have set up a test project which has the membership controls on etc. I have set the Timeout on the <forms> tag
<forms loginUrl="~/Account/Login.aspx" timeout="2" />Case 1I then open two browsers windows (side by side), both on the login page (and logged out)On the left window I login (and start a timer)after 40 seconds on the right window I navigate to a page (which takes me to the page as I have logged in on left window )I then wait until the full 2 minutes has elapsed (but before 2 Minutes and 40 seconds) and then try and navigate to a page on the left window.It redirects me to the login pageI would expect it to allow me to navigate to as I have kept my session open on the right window.Case 2I then open two browsers windows (side by side), both on the login page (and logged out)On the left window I login (and start a timer)after 90 seconds on the right window I navigate to a page (which takes me to the page as I have logged in on left window )I then wait until the full 2 minutes has elapsed (but before 2 Minutes and 40 seconds) and then try and navigate to a page on the left window.It Navigates to the page keeping me logged in.After a bit of reading around the subject I have found out that the slidingexpiration property only renews the cookie if it is in the last 50% of the timeout value:
Sliding expiration resets the expiration time for a valid authentication cookie if a request is made and more than half of the timeout interval has elapsed[URL]
My Question is: How can I override this bit of functionality?
Is there a property to set somewhere to "Always renew cookie"?
Is there another workaround. Unfortunately I can't increase the timeout because of a complience issue (it must be set to 15 minutes)

Since last week I've had a really odd issue with PageMethods, the forms authentication cookie, and the back button which i've never seen before.
Essentially, I have a 'home page' which on document.ready (using jQuery), loads some data through PageMethods, and then renders a list - from which you can click through to a details page about the item. In general use, it works fine. However, using the back button after clicking through (ie: going back to the home page), it throws a PageMethods error. The browser's 'authentication required' prompt appears, and if you click cancel, the server returns a 401. The error returned by PageMethods on the client side is 'authentication failed'.
After inspecting the request in Fiddler, the forms authentication cookie isn't sent with the request, which would explain why it is happening. My fiddler entry for the request looks like this:

I am using forms authentication and have an issue with a particular browser using the remember me feature. For various reasons I want to support the opera browser that works with the nintendo dsi. I can use forms authentication with that browser just fine but when I use the remember me (cookie) feature I can get through the login but then calls to User.Identity.IsAuthenticated return false. If I do not check remember me it works fine. Initially I thought the browser didn't support cookies but it does. At least I can go to m.gmail.com and check their version of remember me and it works. I can exit the browser and come back in and m.gmail.com remembers me. Also I don't have problems with remember me on any other browser I have tried.
Is anyone aware of some specific browser issue that doesn't work with asp.net forms authentication? I am using asp.net mvc but I doubt that matters.

Here is a use case of my problem Stop whe web development server Start the web development server, and user is still logged in (due to cookie?) User property Membership is set to null due to server restart/failure Application throws exception due to null user value

I am having a problem with security in a web application I am building using Visual Web Developer 2008. I am using Forms Authentication:
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms name=".MYAUTH" timeout="20" enableCrossAppRedirects="true" />
</authentication>
And a SQL Server database with ASP.NET Membership and Roles. I am using the LoginView control with the AnonymousTemplate and LoggedInTemplate to manage the user's interaction with logging in and out. The problem I am having is that I am authenticating the user against the database:
If Membership.ValidateUser(_userName, _txtLoginPass.Text)
Then returns True and:
FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(_userName, False)
sets the cookie correctly:
FormsAuthentication.Decrypt(FormsAuthentication.GetAuthCookie(_userName, False).Values(0))
{System.Web.Security.FormsAuthenticationTicket} CookiePath: "/"
Expiration: #1/21/2010 1:42:27 PM#
Expired: False
IsPersistent: False
IssueDate: #1/21/2010 1:22:27 PM#
Name: "jaymo "
UserData: ""
Version: 2
but when I check
HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated it always returns False.
If done this before and it worked fine. I cannot find any mistake I might have made or where something might have changed between ASP.NET 2.0 and 3.5.
