Class VerifUsr

The VerifUsr COM class is used in an ASP environment to issue appropriate Membership server related cookies to a user.  Objects of this class should be used in the following situations:

• For issuance of appropriate cookies during the creation or migration of users from anonymous cookie accounts to user accounts. 
  
  
• When the Membership server is configured to perform authentication service and the web site is configured to accept "forms authentication."  In this case, an instance of this class must be used to perform the verification of the username and password.
  
  
• For issuance of timestamp cookies to force a reload of a user's properties from the directory service into the Membership user property cache.
  
  
• Hashing and storage of a user's certificate. (if desired)

Objects of this class will only work correctly if in an ASP scripting environment.
