Does UserId data type affect FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(UserId.ToString(), false)?
- by FreshCode
Does the original data type of the username string in a call to FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(...) make any difference with regards to security or code maintainability?
As I understand it, the cookie is encrypted and used to identify a user on each request. I'm curious whether it should affect the design of the primary key on my Users table in my database, eg. Guid vs int or a unique username string.
