    Can someone tell me how Forms Authentication works if a browser has its cookies disabled ?

    I think it's stored in session varibles on the server.
    However, if you use cookies and your IE blocks them, then it won't work.

    I think./

    A decision such as using cookies is much like a decision with javascript. You design to fit your CUSTOMER needs...

    So if you think you will be delivering a product to a bunch of vi nix geeks who dont enable cookies than you're screwed.

    Most folks keep em enabled because of the various services across many sites. You will notice most sites explicitly tell you in order to receive their services to enable cookies.

    Forms allows cookieless mode... a session identifier then gets passed in the url string, and the browser still has a 'ticket' valid for the duration of the browser being open. As soon as that initial instance of the browser is closed however, the 'authentication ticket' gets dropped.
