Hi All,
Im using classic ASP (3.0) and I have a web farm with 2 webservers
(webserver A and webserver B, both windows server 2003). I do not want
to store any client specific information on the webserver (therefore do
not intend to use the session object- as you cannot gaurantee which
server the user will go to). I want to store a small value (e.g. a Y/N
value or an Id) on the client machine for the duration of their
browsing session, hence I want to use a non persistent cookie (in
client memory) not a persistent cookie that will be written to disk as
a file.
Q. Therefore if I create a non persistent cookie (i.e. it resides in
the client browsers memory) and set this when the user was on webserver
A, can I read the value server side on subsequent requests even if the
user is redirected back to webserver B? As the webservers are part of
the same domain name Im assuming I can..?
Q. Using non persistent cookies (in client in memory) im assuming the
session Id that gets created by IIS has no use, as I am using client
side storage, hence it is worth disabling this on the webserver for
performance reasons?
Q. Is there a way, when using non persistent cookies that the client
user can see the values of this cookie client side, are their any
downloadable tools for example they can run?
Im aware of the issues with size of using cookies and users can disable
them, my question is more related to using them in a web farm. Im also
not intended in the short term to upgrade to asp.net as Im aware there
are alternatives for state storage in this. I hope someone can clarify
these points for me. Note: I see many articles talking about cookies
but none relating to web farms and cookies, those that do talk solely
about the session object (Server side), none really go further to talk
about (non persistent / persistent cookie usage with web farms client
side.
many thanks in advance
BH

I'm plannig an asp.net web farm.
I expect to use a SQL database for session state management, ie.
<sessionState mode="SQLServer" cookieless="false" .../>
My application uses web forms authentication, with a secure cookie, ie.
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms name="mycookie" loginUrl=https://secure.domain.com
requireSSL="true"/>
</authentication>

I'm testing very basic FormsAuthentication and having trouble with
non-persistent cookies. Once authenticated with a non-persistent
cookie, if I leave the browser alone for 30 minutes,
Request.IsAuthenticated returns false on my next request. WHY? At
first I thought it had to do with session timeout, but session timeout
is set to 20 minutes, and I'm still authenticated after 20 minutes.
Thirty minutes is the magic number. I'm at a loss...

Hi all, we are experiencing an issue with regards to the auth cookie and a
load balanced server farm. The user may randomly hit any box in the server
farm. If the users authenticates against 1 box but were to hit another, he
is logged out of the session. We are NOT using session state and just using
the forms based authentication via cookies. Any idea why this is happening?
I thought a cookie was good for a domain regardless of the server....

I have an asp.net application in which I sometimes store a persistent
cookie once the user has logged in and this has been working great.
However, I now add some user information like, username, firstname,
lastname, etc. in the session collection and this works fine, but only
the first time the user loggin.
But, when the user returns I just get nil errors, because this data is
lost.
So, I guess, I'm missing something like auto-logging the...

I'm currently making a web app that stores a user id in a cookie, and builds
user information off of that in the differnt pages of the site. The cookie is
created on login, and is separate from the authentication cookie. Are there
dangers to doing this? How easily can a cookie be tampered with? Is there any
fast setups, or things I can do for securing the cookie? I'm thinking someone
could tamper with the user id portion of the cookie and...

I have noticed in .net 2 that when authenticating a user, setting the
cookie using either redirectfromloginpage or setauthcookie, specifying
true for the persistent parameter that the cookie is persistent with an
expiry time of 30 minutes from now, unless you have specified a timeout
attribute in the forms element in the web.config. Quoting from msdn:
"timeout:

Hello everyone,
I didn't get any response in "Security" forum hence posting here again.
I am having problem with persistent cookies. Even after setting
"CreatePersistentCookie" to true in "FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie" I'm
being logged out after the specifed timeout provided in "forms"
element of web.config.
I read somewhere that lifetime of persistent cookies depend on the timeout

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
