FormsAuthenticationTicket looses UserData

[dev648237923]

Upon logon I create a ticket and put some userdata in it:
FormsAuthenticationTicket ticket = new FormsAuthenticationTicket(
3, //Version
tUsername.Text, //Username
DateTime.Now, //Issue time
DateTime.Now.AddHours(1), //Expires every hour
false, //Don't persist cookie
"test data" //User_SecureID
);
//Hash the cookie for transport
string hash = FormsAuthentication.Encrypt(ticket);
cookie = new HttpCookie( FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName, hash);
Response.Cookies.Add(cookie);

***Later on another aspx page I want to read that userdata but it alweays is
empty???
if (HttpContext.Current.User != null)
{

if (HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
{
if (HttpContext.Current.User.Identity is FormsIdentity)
{
FormsIdentity id = (FormsIdentity)HttpContext.Current.User.Identity;
FormsAuthenticationTicket ticket = id.Ticket;
string userData = ticket.UserData;
}
}
}

Any ideas on fixing this greatly appretiated!

Hi,

I created a simple web site using your code and it seems working correctly
on my side. I simply put the ticket creation code in login.aspx and in
default.aspx I can read the cookie's userData correctly.

Could you please confirm this also doesn't work on your side using a simple
web site? or maybe it's an environment specific issue.

Would you please create a more complete reproducible project and send it to
me? Thanks.

Hi --

I also was able to get a simple project working so I think it must be an
environmental issue on this project. I will investigate further and post if
I find out what caused it. Thank you for you help and confirming tha the
code I am using is correct!
