Session variables are mixing each other with multiple login....

Shashi

My development environment is ASP.Net 1.1.

When the user does multiple logins to the system and navigates to different
screens and clicks back button sometimes it reading the session variables
values are mixing each other.

How to avoid this kind of situation? Basically I am looking for the steps to
be taken when we develop web based application using ASP.Net (.Net framework
1.1) for multiple logins.

i would think this would only happen if you are creating new windows in IE
from an existing one that is open. if so then they would share the same
session id. if you create a new instance of IE for each logon, then this is a
little strange.

what type of logon are you using, your own, or forms? or windows or passport?

Thanks for your reply.
1. I am using my own login. Checking the user id and password in the
database.
2. Here is the sequence.
* Default.aspx is the default page for the website.
* Load event of this page, I am opening a new page(Login Page) using
the following java script.
Response.Write( "window.ope n('" & URL & "','" & "WindowName "
& Session.Session ID & "','" &
toolbar=no,loca tion=no,titleba r=no,directorie s=no,status=yes ,menubar=no,scr o
llbars=yes,copy history=no,menu bar=no,scrollba rs=1,resizable= 1,height=" &
Chr(34) & " + maxh+" & Chr(34) & ",width=" & Chr(34) & " + maxw+" & Chr(34)
& ",left=0,to p=0" & "');" & vbCrLf))

* In Login page the user(U1) will login to the sytem.
*Enters Customer # and navigates to the customer page.

*Other user(U2) logs in the same way and navigates to the customer
screen.

* User2 through popup menu selects Back and navigates back.

* USer U1 through popup menu selects Back and navigates back
*Instead of displaying the U1 profile system is displaying the U2
profile. That means I have text box with user ID displayed from a session
variable which got wrong data.

Please advice.

Session Security

I'm still a novice when it comes to session security issues. The problems I'm trying to solve may be fairly common, but I haven't seen examples of solutions in any of the books I've looked at.

If the user logs in successfully (i.e., the supplied userid/password combination is in the mysql database), the user is directed to a page...

Session Variables Persist Across Window Close on Mac IE 4.5 and Greater

by: Pack Fan | last post by:

I've noticed that session variables will persist on Mac IE even after all browser windows have been closed. One must quit the program to clear the session variables. This presents a security risk for my session variable based security scheme. Basically, the risk is that a user will login to my site, close the window when done and allow someone else to come up to the machine, go back to my site and be logged into the previous user's...

I'm maintaining (read: I didn't write it, nor do I have the time to spend to rewrite it) an application that is suddenly giving me grief.

This problem hasn't really occurred on the 2000 server machine, but it's happening MUCH more on the new 2003 box (not...

Sharing Session variables across applications

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,...
