Internet persistence issue

[=?Utf-8?B?YWtzaGF5am9odXI=?=]

I am facing an issue with the session persistence. I am automating a website
using Watin and initializing a new instance using VB.net code. The Windows
authentication box is used to logon. The issue am facing is that even though
every time the script is run the Fresh instance of IE(not a new tab) retains
the session from the first instance opened(even if this window is closed).

Clearing of the history/cookies/temp/passwords files doesnt help. The system
has to be restarted.

I believe it's Session.Abandon() that will drop a session object - try
calling it in your server-side code.

Hey seth

Thanks for the reply. The thing is that if i amnually open a fresh browser,
the session is not retained. So i feel session.abandon() will not be much of
a help. Probably am creating the instance incorrectly.

Wait, are you trying to use the previous session object or start a new
one?
