Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.Cookies Namespace

Contains types that support cookie based authentication.

Classes

ChunkingCookieManager	This handles cookies that are limited by per cookie length. It breaks down long cookies for responses, and reassembles them from requests.
CookieAuthenticationDefaults	Default values related to cookie-based authentication handler
CookieAuthenticationEvents	Allows subscribing to events raised during cookie authentication.
CookieAuthenticationHandler	Implementation for the cookie-based authentication handler.
CookieAuthenticationOptions	Configuration options for CookieAuthenticationOptions.
CookieSignedInContext	Context object passed to the ICookieAuthenticationEvents method SignedIn.
CookieSigningInContext	Context object passed to the SigningIn(CookieSigningInContext).
CookieSigningOutContext	Context object passed to the SigningOut(CookieSigningOutContext)
CookieSlidingExpirationContext	Context object passed to the CookieAuthenticationEvents OnCheckSlidingExpiration method.
CookieValidatePrincipalContext	Context object passed to the CookieAuthenticationEvents ValidatePrincipal method.
PostConfigureCookieAuthenticationOptions	Used to setup defaults for all CookieAuthenticationOptions.

Interfaces

ICookieManager	This is used by the CookieAuthenticationMiddleware to process request and response cookies. It is abstracted from the normal cookie APIs to allow for complex operations like chunking.
ITicketStore	This provides an abstract storage mechanic to preserve identity information on the server while only sending a simple identifier key to the client. This is most commonly used to mitigate issues with serializing large identities into cookies.
