Actual exam question from Microsoft's 70-486

Question #: 39
Topic #: 1

You are developing an ASP.NET MVC application that uses forms authentication to verify that the user is logged in.
Authentication credentials must be encrypted and secure so no user identity is exposed.
You need to ensure that user credentials are persisted after users log on.
In which two locations can you store the credentials? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.

A. In Session on the server
B. In a cookie stored in the browser
C. In ViewData in the application
D. In TempData on the server

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: AB 🗳️
Server sessions and cookies can both be configured to secure and they both persist after the users log on.
Incorrect Answers:
C: ViewData's life only lasts during current http request.
D: TempData is a bucket where you can dump data that is only needed for the following request. That is, anything you put into TempData is discarded after the next request completes.

This question does not make sense. Why do we want to store user credential anywhere other than the database? After the login is complete we may store the token in cookie, but not credentials!

That's right, credentials should be stored in the database. The question is poorly worded. But, A,B are the best choices.
