Question

I am debugging my project at my local machine. I am storing information in two default cookies .ASPXAUTH and .ASPXANONYMOUS. However, I realise they are deleted everytime when I stop debugging. So SQL server can never match up the previous profile settings.

I read this link it says these cookies are only working when you get a real IP address.I do not have a .net+SQL server that I can use for upload testing. Question is, can I preserve the cookies or somehow make it work in my local machine? Thanks

<authentication mode="Forms">
  <forms name=".ASPXAUTH" defaultUrl="~/Home/Index" loginUrl="~/Account/LogOn"
         protection="All" cookieless="AutoDetect" slidingExpiration="true" timeout="8760" />
</authentication>

<anonymousIdentification cookieName=".ASPXANONYMOUS" cookieProtection="All" cookieless="AutoDetect"
         enabled="true" cookieSlidingExpiration="true" cookieTimeout="8760" />

EDIT: To get an idea of the problem please see this pic below.
Instead of just keep using first row as UserId, the .NET membership keeps creating new entry everytime when I stop/start a new debugging. Reason is the old cookies in last session was deleted as soon as debugging was stopped.

Have you tried to verify if the delete browsing history is not checked fro your internet options. If that`s checked, it might be deleting the cookies.
