I have authentication code:

var authTicket = new FormsAuthenticationTicket(/*blahblah....*/);
var cookie = new HttpCookie(FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName, 
                            FormsAuthentication.Encrypt(authTicket));
Response.Cookies.Add(cookie);
var name = HttpContext.User.Identity.Name; // line 4

By putting in debug statements, I find that name on line 4 is empty. But the next time I make a call on this browser session, the HttpContext.User.Identity.Name is correctly set.

So when does this value get set?

.net asp.net asp.net-mvc
