You can choose to handle the FormsAuthentication_OnAuthenticate event in order to do all forms management in whatever way you want. Although in many applications you might want to take advantage of the framework support to manage this for you, some applications might have specific requirements, such as storing credentials in the forms. These applications should handle the FormsAuthentication_OnAuthenticate event to perform forms management in whatever way desired.
