formsauthentica tion.signout() problem

Hi,
I login to my asp.net web application from the same client machine twice,
using different credentials.
Both separate instances work fine, independant of each other.

However, when I logout from 1 browser instance, I am automatically logged
off from other instance too.

I use formsauthentica tion.signout() method to sign off the user/ redirect to
the login page.

Any ideas regarding what I could be doing wrong here?
Thanks for your help.

I suspect your browser's sharing the cookie across both browser sessions,
so once you login the secon time, the first browser starts to connect as
the second user since it's now using that cookie.

I checked it up by debugging the application for both browser instances
simultaneously - The cookie values are separate for each browser session.

A little history about my problem -
Earlier, as soon as I logged into a second browser instance, I was logged
out of the first one.
This problem was resolved by adding -
<machineKey validationKey=" AutoGenerate" decryptionKey=" AutoGenerate"/>
- in the web.config.
But the logoff problem still remains.

JFI - I am storing user credential information in the cookie, to enable me
to pickup account specific information.
And the code seems to be doing all the right things.

Some thing else that I might be missing?

I'm using forms authentication to protect a subfolder within my site. I've got it working fine except for two issues: (1) When I do a RedirectFromLogin page I have to put a cookie path ("/" works, or "/mysubdir") or else the auth cookie doesn't get set. I'd like to know why this is necessary. (2) When I call SignOut() the auth cookie is not removed, no matter what I try (no how the cookie is set in the RedirectFromLogin page.

When you call FormsAuthentication.SignOut(), is the FormsAuthentication cookie supposed to be destroyed automatically? I'm creating my FormsAuthentication cookie by doing: HttpCookie oCookie = new HttpCookie(FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName, sTicket); where sTicket is an encrypted FormsAuthenticationTicket. When I create the FormsAuthenticationTicket, I set its isPersistent property to false.

FormsAuthentication.SignOut() removes the authorization ticket from a user (and the user's roles), but does not change the user's identity. I need to be able to either revert the user to the "totally unauthenticated" state, or change his identity to a different state after SignOut(). Unfortunately, calling SetAuthCookie() after SignOut() doesn't change the identity. It's as if once an identiy is assigned, you're stuck with it for the...
