title: How to get a PhoneGap based app to authenticate against an ASP.NET Forms Authentication backend?
body: <p>Has anyone managed to get ASP.NET Forms Authentication (with cookies) working with a PhoneGap based mobile application?</p>
  
  <p>I have come across the following questions about managing cookies within PhoneGap and configuring the server properly:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5124300/where-cookie-is-managed-in-phonegap-app-with-jquery">Where cookie is managed in phonegap app with jquery?</a></li>
  <li><a href="https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-iphone/issues/190" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-iphone/issues/190</a></li>
  <li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4158550/problem-with-asp-net-forms-authentication-when-using-iphone-uiwebview">Asp.Net Forms Authentication when using iPhone UIWebView</a></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>But unfortunately neither of these solutions work. The requests coming from a PhoneGap application do not indicate an authenticated user even though when I run the same dashboard.html code as a file in Safari the requests show up as authenticated.</p>
