The following example shows an event handler for the CreatingCookie event in the Global.asax file. The event handler customizes the authentication cookie by adding the value in the CustomCredential property to the UserData property. Store the CustomCredential property in a cookie only if you know that the data in the property is not sensitive. Malicious users can access the values in the cookie.
