The IPrincipal object to be associated with the current request.

You can use the User property to set the User property of the current HttpContext to a custom IPrincipal object.

If you do not specify a value for the User property during the FormsAuthentication_OnAuthenticate event, the identity supplied by the forms authentication ticket in the cookie or URL is used.
