Bill,
There's really no relationship, and in practice both dates are
usually the same.
The cookie's expiration date is used by the browser to determine if
the cookie should be erased. The ticket's expiration date is used by
ASP.Net's forms authentication system (or your code, if you handle
forms authentication manually).
The only operational problem that can arise is if the cookie's
expiration date is earlier than the ticket's expiration date. That
may cause confusion on the part of the user if they think they're
login lasts for a certain period of time, but the cookie holding
their authentication ticket gets erased by the browser before the
ticket expires.
