  Update Context.User.Identity.Name

  Oct 01, 2004 10:07 AM|LINK

  Is it possible to update Context.User.Identity.Name with a new User name if they change their existing one? After a user has signed in (I am using forms authentication) the user can take an option to change their User ID (email Address). I then want to update Context.User.Identity.Name with the new User ID as I use this value in other parts of the application. Thanks Mark

  Thanks for the reply. could you tell me how I would generate a new FormsAuthenticationTicket? This currently gets done for me automatically when I call the FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage (at least that's my perception). What would I need to call after the user has made the change to their user id? Thanks for your help. Mark

  It might be better to base the auth ticket on something that does not change, such as the unique id from db table.
