Where to save user name for entire session
-
Hello, I'm building an ASP.NET app (my first and I like it!) with Forms authentication. When the session starts, I want to save the username and his name (luisr and Luis, for example) in the Session object. Where is the appropiate place to do it? I was thinking on doing it when the Login button is clicked and the user authenticated in my Login form, but it won't get called when the "Remember me" check box was checked. What do you think? -- LuisR

Sounds perfect to me Once the user is authenticated do your Session.Add bit I do this for a login page and use the username many times later in the app and it works well for me Colin

But what if the user is authenticated without going to the login page (Rember Me or persitent cookie)? Where do I call Session.Add? -- LuisR

actually its not required to save the username in the forms authentication coz the user.Identity will tell u the username from the formsauthentication class so need not save it!! persistant cookie is when the page is getting loaded u need to check for the cookie name that was created by the Forms authentication and from that cast it to sting and check it then authenticate the user for the page!!:) Loving Code, R.

But I'd like to save other data, such as the user database ID, and his first name (to personalize the page) and I don't want to get that from the database everytime. Thanks! -- LuisR

That u can do before authenticating the user if the user is authenticated u will be redirecting him to the next page so, b4 redirecting just put the db ID in the sesssion and have it redirected... This is the best Solution that most of the devlpr will do... Loving Code, R. Senthil Kumaran

I tried calling Session.Add in
Application_AuthenticateRequest(always called, whether Login page or not) and an exception was thrown about something like session state not being available there. I know I could do it in my Login form, before redirecting, but if the "Remember me" persistent cookie exists, my user will never get to the login page. -- LuisR
