Forms Authentication and Application Restarts

D

Drew

We are experiencing an issue where users who are authenticated and active in
an application are not getting redirected to a login screen when the
application restarts. Can anyone verify this is by design that there is a
disconnect between the application and the forms authentication?

TIA

That's right. Forms authentication uses a Form Authentication ticket
that is not expired after the application is restarted. The ticket is
used to identify an authenticated user and it is created in a cookie
(by default) when a user logs on to a site. The ticket is encrypted
and signed using the <machineKey> of the server. So you will not have
any isses with app restarting. It's good, isn't it?

There is also a cookieless forms authentication, when ticket will be
passed in a query string.
