In order to give a good answer to a question like this I would need more detail about what you are trying to accomplish described like a use case, and also you must tell me what modifications you would make to the core to achieve it. Then I can better understand and possibly offer some guidance to accomplish the same thing without touching the core.

One thing I can say is, if your other app is running in the same domain then it should be able to read the cookies set by mojoportal. mojoPortal already stores roles in a cookie and you could potentially read this cookie from another app in the same domain.

You can find some example logic where roles are read from and added to a cookie in Web/Components/mojoRoleProvider.cs

Hope it helps,

Joe

If you use email for login in the mojoPortal site, then the user email address will already be in the identity cookie and can be obtained in mojoPortal code by Context.Request.Identity.Name, so maybe it could also be obtained within the other app in the same domain.

There are some reasons in mojoportal why we don't want the user name to be the same as the email, thats why we replace the @ with .

I could possibly implement a plugin system for user login event similar to user registered event so you could run some logic that sets extra cookies that are easier to track from your other app. Let me know if that would help and if so I'll try to do it in the next few weeks.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Ok, I will implement this and post again when its done. First I have to finish preparing my product release and then I have some other community contributions I need to review and integrate and then I will implement this plugin system for login event. It really should only take an hour to do it.

If 2 weeks go by and I have not posted indicating this is done, then feel free to post again and remind me.

Best,

Joe

I don't use AOL so I don't know anything about their browsers. I test with mainstream browsers IE, Firefox, and Safari.

Probably their browser is some version of IE with their custom toolbar installed. Sometimes these toolbars, even google toolbar have been known to block cookies. I would poke around in the settings and look for any kind of privacy guard or privacy settings as these are usually the ones that block cookies. It may be allowing the authentication cookie but blocking other cookies.

Best,

Joe
