hiding session ID in browser

hello,

I have following session setting in my web.config file:
<configuratio n>
<system.web>
<sessionState
mode = "InProc"
cookieless="tru e"
timeout="10"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>

However, when I open my browser I get this in address bar:
http://192.168.0.110/blabla/(uzqltc4...pgfn)/faq.aspx

Is there any way I can hide this (sessionID).
Thanks,

Sorry, forgot to mention that I want to have cookieless="tru e".

Is there any way I can hide sessiodID with these setting on "true"

You are using cookieless sessionstate, so the sessionID has to appear in the address bar.

yeah, it really only affects obsessive-compulsive security-o-holics who raise the security of their browsers to block all cookies, People who do that run into quite a few problems in their web-browsing experience, so it serves them right if it doesn't work for them.

use the cookie, they taste good too.

Yess-sir-ree, I think its all or nothing. However, having the session in the
browser shouldn't be an issue, its done all the time

because you have cookieless set to true, that tells asp.net that you cant
save cookies on any of the user's pc, and so it stores the session id in the
url.

if you set it to false, the session id will be removed from the url and
placed inside a cookie on the users pc.

as far as i am aware, you cannot mix and match based on the user. its a
whole or nothing setting.

The reason why I want to do this without cookies is because this web-site is
for broad audience and some of them (you'd be surprised) do have cookies
disabled.

Problem why I don't want SessionID in browser is because when you add
web-site to favorites it stores SessionID too. Doing some shopping carts and
wouldn't like to see it.

It's not unreasonable to inform users that, if they want to use your site,
they will have to enable cookies on their browser...

Then, regrettably, a web solution will not meet your needs, at least, not an

In this case I would recommend not relying on session, but rolling your own
solution. Store an ID in viewstate or something on every page, be sure to
pass it along from page to page. Store your data somehow indexed by this ID,
so that then you can get it any time.

I agree that it is not unreasonable to require your site to only function
properly with cookies enabled. Either that, or give up the ability to
bookmark on favorites. People can't have their cake and eat it too. They
can't go nuts with security and turn everything off - and then expect the
same level of functionality.

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.

I had this idea about preventing session fixation, and I'm wondering what anyone else thinks about it. The idea is, essentially, don't allow session ids that YOUR PHP didn't generate (and aren't yet expired) to log in. That way if someone sticks a made-up session ID on a URL, it won't matter, unless it happens to correspond to an active session (guessing a user password is probably easier). Is this already standard practice, new, or is...
