portalroles cookie |
The portalroles cookie stores what roles a user has access to in the current portal when logging in to the system. The forms authentication cookie are by default temporary (session) cookies and not persistent cookies, however users can make them persistent by checking the "remember me" checkbox on the login control. This can be removed via the UI or a setting
The portals role cookie is persistent but it only exists for 1 minute - and its contents are encrypted as well as containing a portalid to make sure that they only apply for that portal. We use the expiry here as we want to be sure to refresh the users portal roles to pick up any alterations that may have occurred e.g. if an admin has added the user to new roles.
