In javascript alert(document.cookie); does not show the .ASPXAUTH Cookie although a sniffer is showing it,
I need it because I have an AJAX Request to the server, the request should not take place when the user is already logged in,
if I cannot check .ASPXAUTH for security reason, what I should do to check whether the user is already logged in.
Thanks
The authentication cookie is marked with http-only, meaning it cannot be accessed by javascript. If you want to check is the user is authenticated, simply output a javascript variable, an hidden field or whatever you prefer from your code-behind. You can then check this easily in JS.
