masterpage and Identity.IsAuthenticated

[pmbtech]

no matter what I try, my master page always returns false for Identity.IsAuthenticated.
I know I am authenticated or I wouldn't be sent to this page.
I have tried;
Page.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated - always false
HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated - always false
I have the code in the page_load of the master page.

I have been going nuts with this.
I am going to this page from the loggedIn event on the login page. I have used server.transfer and response.redirect to send me there but there was no difference.
My loggedin event redirects based on the role the user is in.

my page_load code is:

If Not Page.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated Then
Server.Transfer("~/Login.aspx")
End If

my LoggedIn code is:

Server.Transfer("~/Admin/Default.aspx")

----
Any ideas would be great.

Try this:

if (System.Threading.Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
            {
                //...
            }

HTH
