The codes below is copy from msdn about FormsAuthenticationTicket.
It add FormsAuthenticationTicket to cookie.

How can I add the FormsAuthenticationTicket to URL not to Cookie?




///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
if (Membership.ValidateUser(username, password))
{
string userData = "ApplicationSpecific data for this user.";

FormsAuthenticationTicket ticket = new FormsAuthenticationTicket(1,
username,
DateTime.Now,
DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(30),
isPersistent,
userData,
FormsAuthentication.FormsCookiePath);

// Encrypt the ticket.
string encTicket = FormsAuthentication.Encrypt(ticket);

// Create the cookie.
Response.Cookies.Add(new
HttpCookie(FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName, encTicket));

// Redirect back to original URL.
Response.Redirect(FormsAuthentication.GetRedirectUrl(username,
isPersistent));
}
 
Why would you want to add the authentication ticket to the URL? Why dont simply read it from the cookie?
