Question

Can somebody tell me how to add asp.net cookie authorization to a request header (via MVC3)?

Cookie:

Answer 1

You don’t. Cookies are automatically provided on each request when the cookie is set.

You set the cookie using FormsAuthentication class. Typically, this looks something like this:

 FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(model.UserName, false /*createPersistentCookie*/);
