where is the cmscontext user object set

We are trying to store the cmscontext user variable called ( organization_guid ) in to a session & use the custom macro to retrieve the value from session .
There are scenarios where the organization_guid needs to change within the same login context. That is the reason we are storing the value in session & overriding the session
Variable.

We would like to know which part of code sets the Cmscontext user object , so that we can add code to save it to session as well when a user logs in.

Thanks in Advance,
Satish

RE:where is the cmscontext user object set

Hello,

I would suggest using the Login1_LoggedIn handler of Logon form web part (~\CMSWebParts\Membership\Logon\LogonForm.ascx.cs). This event is fired after successful login.

However, the CMSContext.CurrentUser is not initialized so you will need to manually access the UserInfo object by using UserInfoProvider.GetFullUserInfo method and the username from Login control:

// Current username
string userName = Login1.UserName;
UserInfo user = UserInfoProvider.GetFullUserInfo(userName);

RE:where is the cmscontext user object set

Hello,

Yes, the aforementioned approach can be applied only when forms authentication is used. You can take advantage of OnAuthentication handler that gets invoked when a user attempts to sign in with a name and password. You can implement this event to perform some custom action.

For more information about this handler, I would like to point you to the following article: Security handler.
