AnonymousIdentificationSection.CookieRequireSSL Property

 

Gets or sets a value indicating whether a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection is required when transmitting authentication information.

Namespace:   System.Web.Configuration
Assembly:  System.Web (in System.Web.dll)

<ConfigurationPropertyAttribute("cookieRequireSSL", DefaultValue := False)>
Public Property CookieRequireSSL As Boolean

Property Value

Type: System.Boolean

true if an SSL connection is required; otherwise, false. The default is false.

If CookieRequireSSL is true, a compliant browser does not return the cookie unless the connection is over SSL.

System_CAPS_noteNote

When the anonymous identifier is stored within the URI path, rather than in a cookie, the CookieRequireSSL setting does not affect the behavior of the anonymous identification module. This is consistent with the behavior in forms authentication.

The following code example shows how to access the CookieRequireSSL property.

' Get CookieRequireSSL.
Dim cookieRequireSSL As Boolean = _
anonymousIdentificationSection.CookieRequireSSL
Console.WriteLine("Cookie require SSL: {0}", _
cookieRequireSSL.ToString())
