Don't store it in a Session object. If you are web farming, the Session object needs to round-trip to the database in any event.
You really should use the UserData field in the FormsAuthenticationCookie to store Role information. -John http://www.iunknown.com -----Original Message----- From: Pete B [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, April 19, 2002 2:59 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [DOTNET] FormsAuthentication Question In my formsAuthentication_OnAuthenticate event I want to replace the user intrinsic with my own user object. I need to populate my user object with additional info ( e.g. roles ); however, I do not want to store this stuff in a cookie, and I don't want to reload it from the database on each OnAuthenticate event. The Session object seems a reasonable place for storing user info, but I can't access Session from OnAuthenticate. What should I do? _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx You can read messages from the DOTNET archive, unsubscribe from DOTNET, or subscribe to other DevelopMentor lists at http://discuss.develop.com.
