When I use the following code:

FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(userId.ToString(), true);

an .aspxauth cookie is created with a correct expiration date.

However when i close all instances of the browser and return to the page, I am no longer logged in. I also do not see the cookie in firebug. When I search for the cookie in the browser (I choose remove a cookie, and search for .ASPXAUTH) I do see that it is there.

Any clues for this behavior? Thanks!

In the web.config:

authentication mode="Forms"
forms timeout="28800" 
authentication

Do you return to a regular page or the login page? The forms login page clears the cookie AFAIK. – fejesjoco Feb 03 '14 at 13:40
Authentication cookie by default has browser session lifetime. So when you close all the browser windows cookie gets removed – Alexandr Mihalciuc Feb 03 '14 at 13:45
@AlexandrMihalciuc this is not the case as I set true in SetAuthCookie – Andreas Feb 03 '14 at 13:48
@fejesjoco The login page is a partial that all the pages has. I will look into what you wrote – Andreas Feb 03 '14 at 13:49
Can you post your section of web.config? – ramiramilu Feb 03 '14 at 13:49
