Across domains? Yes. What happens, client side, is there are two server
cookies sent. This is quite normal and part of the "security" built into
browsers.
If you have a persistant store (database, for example), store values in the
database. On the same machine, you can sometimes get away with equivalent
machine keys, but cross domain is still a difficulty. The persistant store
overcomes this, as you can look up values as a user moves from site to site.
This is best if you go to cookieless authentication (which munges in the
session key).

Are session variables suppose to lose values across different domain names?
The www50.ssldomain .com is hosted by the same webhost. It's just how they
handle their SSL certificate.
Help! Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the clarification.
Do you know of a webpage that might demonstrate this?

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,...

Hi
I have a site where I would like some pages to be accessed via SSL (login
and payment etc) and others via regular http. However I'm not sure whether
Session state can be maintained between the 2 protocols.
We have SSL set up on the site so that it can be accessed via the same
domain:

....still new to .net 2005 using VB.
Do I understand correctly that the value of a session variable is actually stored in the server's ram, but relies on the asp.net
session ID cookie that temporarily is placed on the client's machine until the session ends? ...so that you can't use session
variables if the client has disabled cookies on their browser? So, this makes session vars much more secure than hidden fields,
which are transmitted...

Hi,
I have a problem where I have two requests (i.e. two different windows that
are using the same session) that are accessing the session collection. The
requests will need more time on the server, but I get the problem that the
two sessions are not getting updated values from each requests. Is this by
design or is there any solution to do this?

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.
