Global.asax fires locally and on beta server, but not in production

I just specified everything in my global.asax itself..

Application.Add("ConnectionString","Server=xxxxxxxxxx;Trusted_Connection=no;database=xxxxxxx;uid=xxxx;pwd=xxxxxxxxx");
      Application.Add("CommunicateReferalSubject","Communicate Referal");
      Application.Add("snet_dir","945");
}

//THIS FUNCTION HANDLES THE FORM AUTHENTICATION
void Application_AuthenticateRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
      // Extract the forms authentication cookie
      string cookieName = FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName;
      HttpCookie authCookie = Context.Request.Cookies[cookieName];

      if(null == authCookie)
      {
            // There is no authentication cookie.
            return;
      }

      FormsAuthenticationTicket authTicket = null;
      try
      {
            authTicket = FormsAuthentication.Decrypt(authCookie.Value);
      }
      catch(Exception ex)
      {
            // Log exception details (omitted for simplicity)
            return;
      }
      
      if (null == authTicket)
      {
            // Cookie failed to decrypt.
            return;
      }
}

</script>
