I'm using ASP.NET MVC and Forms Authentication on my application. Basically I use FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie to login and FormsAuthentication.SignOut to logout.
In the HttpContext.Current.User.Identity I have stored the user name but I need more info about the logged user. I don't want to store my entire User obj in the Session because it might be big and with much more infomation than I need.
Do you think it's a good idea to create like a class called LoggedUserInfo with only the attributes I need and then add it to the Session variable? Is this a good approach?
Or do you have better ideas?
