    Login Programmatically with FormsAuthentication.Authenticate

    Hello Umbraco Colleagues,

    As I understand, Umbraco (v 4.0.2.1) membership supports the ASP.Net membership provider. The ASP.Net Login control works well for this but...
    I need to programmatically login members after they complete the registration form.

    I have tried System.Web.Security.FormsAuthentication.Authenticate() but it fails to authenticate.

    I've read this forum post:
    http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/api-questions/9595-Programmatically-login-user-with-MemberAddMemberToCache()
    But it seems odd to revert to an Umbraco API call since we're using the ASP.Net membership provider.

    What's the solution?

    Thanks,

    David Hill

    Hi David,

    Have you tried setting the auth cookie manually?

    FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(string userName, bool createPersistentCookie)

    Cheers, Lee.

    Hi Lee,

    Yes - that's the ticket! (Pun intended.)

    Thanks for the insight.

    David
