FormsAuthenticationConfiguration Class

Definition

Configures an ASP.NET application to use the AuthenticationMode forms modality.

public ref class FormsAuthenticationConfiguration sealed : System::Configuration::ConfigurationElement
public sealed class FormsAuthenticationConfiguration : System.Configuration.ConfigurationElement
type FormsAuthenticationConfiguration = class
    inherit ConfigurationElement
Public NotInheritable Class FormsAuthenticationConfiguration
Inherits ConfigurationElement
Inheritance
FormsAuthenticationConfiguration

Examples

The following code example shows how to obtain the FormsAuthenticationConfiguration object from the configuration file of an existing Web application. You can use this object to access its members.

// Get the Web application configuration.
System.Configuration.Configuration configuration =
    WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration("/aspnetTest");

// Get the external Authentication section.
AuthenticationSection authenticationSection =
    (AuthenticationSection)configuration.GetSection(
    "system.web/authentication");

// Get the external Forms section .
FormsAuthenticationConfiguration formsAuthentication =
    authenticationSection.Forms;
' Get the Web application configuration.
Dim configuration As System.Configuration.Configuration =
WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration(
"/aspnetTest")

' Get the external Authentication section.
Dim authenticationSection _
As AuthenticationSection =
CType(configuration.GetSection(
"system.web/authentication"), AuthenticationSection)

' Get the external Forms section .
Dim formsAuthentication _
As FormsAuthenticationConfiguration =
authenticationSection.Forms

Remarks

The FormsAuthenticationConfiguration class provides a way to programmatically access and modify the forms element of a configuration authentication section.

This type is part of a group that includes the FormsAuthenticationCredentials,the FormsAuthenticationUserCollection, and the FormsAuthenticationUser 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 FormsAuthenticationConfiguration can write information into the related section of the configuration file according to the restrictions defined by the section property AllowDefinition whose value is MachineToApplication. Any attempt to write in a configuration file at a level not allowed 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.
