Is there a way to transfer FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie across various layers from Data Access Layer Class to WebService and then to Javascript?

After implementing DotNetOpenAuth in my ASP.Net Website and adapting it to work with Facebook Connect, I am facing a challenge. I have inserted a Facebook Connect button on my login page, but I am struggling to retrieve information from the connection and pass it into an authentication method.

To tackle this issue, I currently follow these steps:

  1. Execute a Javascript function when the FBML/HTML Facebook Connect button is clicked.
  2. The JavaScript function triggers a web service for logging in successfully.
  3. The web service interacts with my data access layer for login operations.
  4. However, the problem arises here - FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie is established at the data access layer level, which means that the cookie is not set in the user's browser due to its scope limitation.

Consequently, although the user is authenticated, their browser remains uninformed.

I am seeking advice on whether my current approach is flawed or if there exists a more effective way to achieve my goals. I have been exploring solutions for hours but haven't found a definitive answer yet. Any support or guidance you can offer would be highly appreciated.

Answer №1

It appears that you are experiencing a design dilemma due to attempting to tackle too much at once in one place.

If you split this task into two separate client calls, you will discover more opportunities becoming available. While it may require additional effort, the end result will be a simpler codebase. <--- which is advantageous.

In my opinion, the first indication of a design crisis is when I find myself thinking "Hmm, placing an authentication method deep within my DAL doesn't seem to be working as intended...." haha.... half joking, half serious.

Best of luck!
