I am building a simple asp.net mvc3 application using Form authentication. After publishing it to IIS 7.5, I find that even after I restart the application pool for my web site(stop it and then start). A logined user doesn’t need to re-login. That’s not what I expect and I don’t remember I had configured the cookie to be persistent.

I use the simple asp.net mvc3 web application template and haven’t done much thing to config authentication. Below is some codes related to authentication:

in web.config:

<authentication mode="Forms">
  <forms loginUrl="~/Account/LogOn" timeout="2880" />
</authentication>

in LogOn action:

        FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(userName, false);

    I think I have got your answer, cookie is set at client side and resetting server IIS will not destroy the cookie as it is not available on server. You can set cookie expiration time and it will get destroy at client side.I hope this clears the situation.
