FormsAuthenticationUser Class

Definition

Namespace:

System.Web.Configuration

Assembly:

System.Web.dll

Configures the user's credentials for Web applications that use forms-based authentication.

public ref class FormsAuthenticationUser sealed : System::Configuration::ConfigurationElement

public sealed class FormsAuthenticationUser : System.Configuration.ConfigurationElement

type FormsAuthenticationUser = class
    inherit ConfigurationElement

Public NotInheritable Class FormsAuthenticationUser
Inherits ConfigurationElement

FormsAuthenticationUser

Remarks

The FormsAuthenticationUser class provides a way to programmatically access and modify the credentials element for forms for authentication section of a configuration file.

This type is part of a group that includes the FormsAuthenticationCredentials, the FormsAuthenticationUserCollection, and the FormsAuthenticationConfiguration types. The types other than the collection type directly affect the underlying configuration tags.

Warning

Storing user credentials in the credentials section is insecure. Instead, use Azure Key Vault.

Note

The FormsAuthenticationUser can write information into the related section of the configuration file at machine, site, or application level only. Any attempt to write in a configuration file at a different level in the hierarchy will result in an error message generated by the parser. However, you can use this class to read configuration information at any level in the hierarchy. For safety and scalability, it is recommended that you use Azure Key Vault to store user credentials.

Constructors

FormsAuthenticationUser(String, String)

Initializes a new instance of the FormsAuthenticationUser class using the passed parameters.
