Hi,

I am using following code for form authentication in login page.

C#

System.Web.Security.FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(userId, false);

It is working fine on staging with all browsers but After hosting in Production I am trying to access login, It is working fine in all browsers except IE.

In IE, httpcontext.current.user.identity.name value in login page is as expected but after redirecting from login, Its value is empty.

Please assist me.

Are cookies on?
The membership provider saves data in cookies

Yes cookies are on in IE.

Use the browser's dev tools (or a plug-in) to inspect the cookie and its values. Compare it with the cookies in a browser that works to see if there are any differences. Also use a tool like Fiddler to examine the requests and responses to ensure the cookie is sent\received ok....again compare the trace of a working browser to that of IE to see if you can find any differences in behaviour.

That's how I would also go about finding the issue. You can post this as an answer.
