By going back the member to the site, this cookie will be read and will be used for Authentication procedure in order to be authenticated as a member of umbraco site.
Is there any way please to add more data in that authentication cookie, for example email:
I have found the way, there is needed that Authentication cookie be manually created instead of SetAuthCookie:
public static void Authenticate(string username, int memberGroupId)
{
FormsAuthenticationTicket ticket = new FormsAuthenticationTicket(1,
username,
DateTime.Now,
DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(FormsAuthentication.Timeout.Minutes),
false,
memberGroupId.ToString());
HttpCookie cookie = new HttpCookie(FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName);
cookie.Value = FormsAuthentication.Encrypt(ticket);
HttpContext.Current.Response.SetCookie(cookie);
}
In this case, memberGroupId is stored in UserData property of FormsAuthenticationTicket object encrypted and sent to member.
In order to get memberGroupId from the cookie:
public static Models.DocumentTypes.Core.MemberGroup CurrentMemberGroup
{
get
{
Models.DocumentTypes.Core.MemberGroup memberGroup = null;
HttpCookie cookie = HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies[FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName];
if (cookie != null)
{
FormsAuthenticationTicket ticket = FormsAuthentication.Decrypt(cookie.Value);
if (ticket != null)
{
string memberGroupIdStr = ticket.UserData;
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(memberGroupIdStr))
{
int memberGroupId = 0;
if (int.TryParse(memberGroupIdStr, out memberGroupId) && memberGroupId > 0)
{
UmbracoHelper helper = new UmbracoHelper(UmbracoContext.Current);
memberGroup = helper.TypedContent(memberGroupId) as Models.DocumentTypes.Core.MemberGroup;
}
}
}
}
return memberGroup;
}
}
The point of this task is that after entering member's username and password, the member must choose a Member group defined in Content tree of Umbraco and Authenticated to the site.
This was challenge because the chosen MemberGroup cannot be stored in Session (Session - InProc), after restarting server, session is emtpy but member exists as authenticated on the site.
This could help, for similar tasks that someone gets.
Forms Authentication - Add additional data in cookie
Hi,
By authenticating member to a umbraco site, SetAuthCookie must be used in order to do this:
FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(username, false)
By going back the member to the site, this cookie will be read and will be used for Authentication procedure in order to be authenticated as a member of umbraco site.
Is there any way please to add more data in that authentication cookie, for example email:
FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(username + "|" + email, false)
but not to break authentication way of umbraco that the member be authenticated and authorized to umbraco as a member, and how to do that?
Cheers
