In ASP.NET, when you set a cookie, the path can be a virtual or a physical path. If you want to set the virtual path in a cookie, you can do so in your ASP.NET code without explicitly configuring anything in IIS. Please make sure the expiration time for the cookies.

C#

// Set a cookie with a virtual path
HttpCookie myCookie = new HttpCookie("MyCookie");
myCookie.Value = "CookieValue";
myCookie.Path = "/virtualpath";
Response.Cookies.Add(myCookie);

But this will create new cookie :
// Set a cookie with a virtual path
HttpCookie myCookie = new HttpCookie("MyCookie");
myCookie.Value = "CookieValue";
myCookie.Path = "/virtualpath";
Response.Cookies.Add(myCookie);

In my application already the asp.net session ID is generating when I used <sessionstate> in web.config.

now I want to modified the path for the same:
ASP.net_SessionId path should be root/login.aspx
.ASPXAUTH path should be root/login.aspx

here root will be my virtual directory
and please let me know did I need to make any root folder or I need to make configurtion anywhere in IIS

I have not written manually anywhere in file its automatically gives the value
Please guide asap
