FormsAuthentication.Encrypt problem

[Sadashiva Hegde]

Hi,

I have a strange problem. I get NULL reference out of
Encrypt function.

FormsAuthenticationTicket ticket = new
FormsAuthenticationTicket(1,
userName,
DateTime.Now,
DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(30),
false,
null,
FormsAuthentication.FormsCookiePath
);

string enc = FormsAuthentication.Encrypt(ticket);

Variable enc contains NULL reference.

Thanks in advance.

I believe the problem is caused by the lack of user data defined for the
ticket. In your call to the FormsAuthenticationTicket constructor, you're
passing "null" for this. Try including some data (string). That should
work.
