Is there a way for CS to read a URL encoded value string for the custom authentication cookie.

 example: username%3DJohn%26emailAddress%3Djoh.doe@noplace.com

Not currently in the format that you have.   Community Server does expect the individual values to be URL-encoded, but not the entire string of name-value pairs as a single value.  

Hope this helps,

Xander

 I've made changes in the cookie to not be URL encoded, but it doesn't seem to be picking up the cookieAuthentication in CS at all.

 The web.config is set to:

 
    <authentication mode="None">
      <!--<forms name=".CommunityServer" protection="All" timeout="60000" loginUrl="login.aspx" slidingExpiration="true" />-->
    </authentication>

And in the communityserver.config file I've made sure the cookie username and emailAddressKeys are matching up to the values set int he cookie.  Once I go to the CS site it just displays as though I'm not already authenticated.

 
How do you get the cookieAuthtest.aspx file that I've seen people referring to?

 
Thanks for your help.
