How do forms authentication actually works

Introduction

Forms Authentication is a mechanism to allow only authenticated user with valid credential to view a particular page or group of pages/folders and stop unauthenticated or anonymus use outside the secure boundry. Forms authentication uses an authentication ticket that is created when a user logs on to a site, and then it tracks the user throughout the site. The forms authentication ticket is usually contained inside a cookie. However, cookieless forms authentication is also possible that works by passing user ticket in query strings.
