Hi All,
I recently discovered that my session cookies on the web host disappear
within 30 seconds.
I created some very simple asp scripts (it took me a while until I
discovered why my shopping cart acts very weird...) to check the session
cookies.
On one asp page I set up cookies:
setcookie.asp
<%
Session("Transa ctionID") = 15
Session("Custom erID") = 1
%>
and on
readcookie.asp
<%
response.write "Session(""Tran sactionID"")=" & Session("Transa ctionID") &
"<br>"
response.write "Session(""Cust omerID"")=" & Session("Custom erID") & "<br>"
%>
The same asp pages run on my XP Pro show that the session cookies don't
expire as long as I close the browser, while on the remote web server, if I
do a refresh on readcookie.asp after 30 seconds, they are gone.
I run ASP on the server and all I know is that it is a Plesk server. No idea
if it actually a Linux server or a Windows one...
Do I have to setup expiry time or something for session cookies?
Any information appreciated.
Regards,
Nicolae

Well, that's a big difference. You're going to need to find out if it is
Windows, and if not, what kind of ASP emulator is running. It could be a
setting in the web server (e.g. they could have disabled session state), but
for anything on the server, if you don't have direct access to it, you're
going to have to talk to the technical people there anyway.

Thank you very much, Aaron. I read the FAQ and I think it is a problem on
the web server. Apparently they have a Windows server.
I contacted them, waiting for their reply.

Try this:
Response.write Session.Timeout
What do you get?

If this is a random occurrance, you're not alone.
I think I have found the solution though. If the server is a Windows
server, which I suspect it is, the name of the server must not contain any
_.
Micorsoft IIS6 randomly drops sessions by design if an underscore _ is
contained in the server name, some sort of security flaw or something. To
fix the problem make sure the machine name does not have an _ and make sure
the workgroup it belongs to does not have an _.
I recently experienced this problem on a new server I am renting and changed
the workgroup as stated above and it seems to be stable.

It is not IIS it is IE that is dropping cookies and it is by design. http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;316112

Tell me if my assertion is wrong here:
The only way to prevent session hijacking is to NEVER store
authentication information (such as name/password) in the session.
Well, to never authenticate a user from information you got from the
session. Each secure app on a site must challenge the user for name
and password, each and every time the user accesses it (not just once
and then store it in the session). If a secure app is multi-page,...

I've got a .Net site that has 3 session variables...the variables should persist over 23 unique insert pages, 23 update, and 23 "view total" pages...
And the problem is once I get past one page, the session vars disappear
The logic is
1. logon = set a session var to the email addres
2. redirect to a "main page" that uses the email sess var in a query to get the UserID in the database
This is successful because I have the user id...

Hi, I'm new member of this group.
I had added new virtual host at my intranet server. The new virtual
host configuration on httpd.conf is similar with the old one.
At the new virtual host, the session id seems changed every
interaction to server (new page or reload).
The old one is fine, the session id keeps at the same string.
Both are at the same server.
I use Apache 2.2.3 (Win32) with PHP 5.2.0.
