FormsAuthenticationTicket does not return userdata

[shaddock@-NOSPAM-gmail.com]

Hello,

I am trying to get FormAuthentication working, but the FormsAuthenticationTicket does not return the UserData. Does any one have any insight into this?

To create a Authorization ticket, I am using this code:

//grab the roles for this user. Pipe delimited string.
string roles = RetrieveRoles(custID);
//roles now equals something like "Manager|User"



//create an auth ticket.
FormsAuthenticationTicket authTicket =
new FormsAuthenticationTicket(
1,
custID,
DateTime.Now,
DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(10),
false,
roles
);


To get the roles I am using this code:

string[] roles = authTicket.UserData.Split(new char[]{'|'});

Thanks

Stewart

Recently I ran into the same behavior.

I decided to use FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(userName ,
False) instead of
Response.Redirect(FormsAuthentication.GetRedirectU rl(userName, False)).

RedirectFromLoginPage issues an authentication ticket which then blows
away your ticket. Granted this is a comment I wrote in my blog a while
back but have a suspicion this may help you.
