Create cookie when logging in

Brent Theunckens asked on March 24, 2016 11:43

I am trying to create a cookie when a user log in on logon form.

I created a new Logon Form in Visual Studio(a copy from LogonForm). In this method I am trying to create a cookie when the user is authenticated:

void Login1_LoggedIn(object sender, EventArgs e)`{

 var cookie = new HttpCookie(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["LoggedInUserCookieName"])
    {
        Domain = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["CookieDomain"],
        Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(7),
        Value = "testa"
    };
    CookieHelper.SetValue(cookie.Name, cookie.Value, cookie.Path, DateTime.Now.AddDays(7), false);
    //HttpContext.Current.Response.SetCookie(cookie);

When I log in to the new custom web part it won't create the new cookie. Can someone help me and tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Greetings, Brent

Hello,

I forgot to change the name in the new file:

%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" Inherits="CMSWebParts_Membership_Logon_LogonForm"
 Codebehind="~/CMSWebParts/Membership/Logon/LogonForm.ascx.cs" %>

So the code was calling the original web part instead of the custom one... It's working fine now.

Thanks for the help!

I can remember I had issue while using Set Cookie web part, which, most likely, uses the same CoockieHelper. I ended up using javascript to set cookies, which would be a workaround in your case. Also you could use .net to do it.

I'm not using the cookie web part, I'm trying to create a cookie in the CMS\CMSWebParts\Membership\Logon\LogonForm.ascx.cs file in Visual Studio. When I use HttpContext.Current.Response.SetCookie(cookie); it doesn't work either. And before the cookie is created I should use our own library to encrypt the cookie.

What is the value of ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["CookieDomain"]? Does it match with your domain?
