Where does the user information in Server Variables come from in ASP.NET?

Question

In the Server Variables collection I note there are:

REMOTE_USER
LOGON_USER
AUTH_USER

Do these come from the decypted ".ASPXFORMSAUTH" cookie?

EDIT:

Think I am correct:

        HttpCookie authCookie = Request.Cookies[FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName];//.ASPXAUTH
        FormsAuthenticationTicket authTicket = FormsAuthentication.Decrypt(authCookie.Value);

Reference : what is ASPXAUTH cookie?
