FormsAuthentication and Roles using WebService

Question

User-1716253493 posted

I'm new consuming web services.

I'm using Simple FormsAuthentication and web service, by providing user and password to login, i get profile and roles data from the web service.

But, i want to consume profile and roles in other pages. I don't know how to get it without providing password. I don't want to use session variable.

Please help me.

Thanks

Hi oned_gk,

Not sure why you don't want to use session variable , if you use session here , you could meet your requirement.

If you don't want to use session, you also need a  way to keep the use's state.

For example, use a distributed cache server to store the use data.

Could you tell use why you don't want to use session variable?

Hi oned_gk ,

You should set formauthentication cookie timeout and session timeout ,  or  logout the user in session start like the link below suggests.

I've done that before. User will be redirected to login page when session timeout, but user will loose their form data.

Hi oned_gk ,

Then you could  require the user to   enter their username and password  and send a request to webservice with username and passwork to get back user data and restore them in session.

When session timeout , the user should be redirected to login page and login again.

If you don't want  this to occur frequently, you could extended expiration time.
