Hello Ryan mate!

Thanks for giving information about the application architecture.

Checking I need a few more details on the user session details storage.

I need the details of state management in ASP.NET used in the application like,

i) View state
ii) Control state
iii) Hidden fields
iv) Cookies
v) Query strings
vi) Application state
vii) Session state
viii) Profile Properties

For example, if the user data is stored in the session, the user id will be stored as key-value in HttpContext.Session. As given in this documentation, https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/aspnet/75x4ha6s(v=vs.100).

It will help to collect the user details automatically by extracting the in-built state management method using the agent without embedding any code snippet manually.

Awaiting your response.
