Forms Authentication: Invalid value for 'encryptedTicket' paramete

[Bill13]

I used the standard forms authentication sample from msdn to set up my
site. When I run on my dev machine, everything works fine. When i move it to
the test server, i receive an error: Invalid value for 'encryptedTicket'
parameter. I've seen questions about this but not any answers. Anyone have
any idea what causes this or suggestions on what to try? Thanks.

Found the problem. So, for anyone interested, it was caused by passing
a null in the userdata portion of the ticket. For some reason, my db query to
retrieve the roles is returning a null. So I put a test to check if null and
send an empty string and the invalid value problem was solved. Now if i could
only figure out why I'm getting null for roles...

Hi,
I recieved similar error while testing my applicaiton on the production
site. I figured out that my local development machine has .net framework
1.1 and 2.0 on it while test server has only 1.1.
And I played with the VWD 2005 beta recently and reverted to .net framework
2.0.

So when I change the framework version back to 1.1 on local machine the
application is giving same error. Do you see similar version conflict on
your machines.?

Let me know if you figured it out. I cannot update the framework on the
test server so I am kind of stuck here.

Thanks,

Hi,
I figured out the problem. For some reasons...the cookie was currupted...
When I changed the name of the form cookie in the web.config it worked like
a charm.
Hope this helps,
