Excuse the extremely newbie question…
Once I have verified the users login credentials, Where should I store the state for whether a user is logged in or not?
Once you have validated that your user is OK according to the backend, you can make ASP.NET set an authentication cookie for the user in the response by doing a
FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(username, persistent).From then on, ASP.NET will decrypt that cookie in requests and extract the username from it, giving you access to it via
HttpContext.Current.User.To me, it sound like this is what you’re looking for.
