Lost Session Variables On Server
I have built a site that works/worked absolutely fine on my test server. When I transferred it to a remote web host (the intended permanent home of the site) something very worrying keeps happening to my site.
I use, as is the norm, session variables to store login information. At the top of each page I do a check that Session("isLoggedIn") = "True", and if not then the system logs them back out.
The serious problem is that once you have logged into the site, the next page you try to open it fails the above check and logs you out! Obviously Session("isLoggedIn") is not equal to "True" so it assumes you aren't logged in. So basically the session variables are getting lost/cleared. This makes my site unusable, and is a disaster for it unless I can get a solution.

I have a website that has a asp secured members only aria that keeps session variables to check if someone is logged in or not (if session variables are not there then redirect to logon screen) but I also have non members aria and I need a way of asking the user if they want to move away from the members only area or go back to it. I have used an asp to find out if the page is a non member page and if there is a session variable there.
If there is a session variable and is a non member page then I use JavaScript to bring up a confirm box that if the cancel button is pressed then it goes back a page. The problem is that when you go back a page the session variable gets lost. Dose anyone know how to solve this problem or a better way of doing this?

I have a problem with my asp code on an iis 6.0 server on windows 2003
web. When I redirect between to asp pages on my web-site, where pageA is
in a different virtual directory from pageB the session variables value
a lost. I know that it is the session ID there increases. (New session).
If I make the same call in the same virtual directory the session
variables is not lost. Is it some thing about different application
pools? If sow, how can I join two or more application pools regarding
to session variables? If not is there a none coding work around.

I have a normal login page that (upon clicking submit) checks whether you are part of a particular office and then redirects the user to their particular office's webserver.
The problem i am having is that when i redirect a user, to a securewelcome page, they lose their session variables causing them to have to login again. What am i doing wrong to make these variables get lost in the redirect? Is it because i am redirecting to a different webserver?

My ASP page 1 redirect user to third party's website,
after the process at third party is finished, in 3rd
party's page, there is one link to route user back to my
website: ASP page2.
As the user do all of these actions in the same browser, I
expect the user's session variables to be kept, But the
seesion variable are lost.

I have a very odd situation here. I have an administration page, where based on a users permissions, a recordset is called from the SQL server which has a list of paths to "Module Menus". Each of these menus are then placed into the page by calling Server.Execute(rs_Modules("ModulePath")).
This works fine for up to 15 "menus" After that, the session variables that were set (not including those called by Global.ASA) are no longer set. Code:

my site apears to be loosing its session variable because it uses dynamically created absolute links. but because the user could have entered the site using any of 4 domains the links might change the domain.
So the user sees no difference but the cart has lost its session. firstly, is this possible? Secondly can I determin the url used to find the site and use that in the dynamic links?

I allways loose the Sessionvariables in my asp-pages (I'm using IIS5.0 with
Visual Interdev 6.0).
For Example: when i create a startpage.asp, and type > Session("PersonalNr")
= 456 < he cant remember this value on another page.
when i query this value (for example in endpage.asp):
Response.Write(Session(("PersonalNr")), i get the value 0, because the
session will be restarted (The function "Session_OnStart" will be called
again in the global.asa file)
Does anyone know why ?

What could the likely cause of a session value being lost when one navigates
to another page and attempts to write that session out:
Page 1
session("u_name") = oRS.fields("u_name")
Navigate to Page 2
Response.write Session("u_name")
....."_name" seems to be empty on Page 2.
What am I doing wrong here?

I have a project in which I'm trying to embed one site, that uses
session stored variables, inside an IFRAME in another site (which for
that matter doesn't even use sessions).
Problem is, that it doesn't always save the session. When I try to
access it from some computers, I have no problem, the session variable
is stored and I can browse the site in the IFRAME and everything's ok,
but on other computers, the session variable value simply disappears.
To simulate the situation, assume that the two following html trees are
the site that goes into the IFRAME: Code:

Is there any way in ASP to catch a destroyed session when the user closes their window.
Example.
When a user enters a page, I create a session - Session("blah")="blah" . However when the window is closed, the session is destroyed, but before it's being destroyed, I want to some things.

I have an mypage.asp page with a button, one can access this page only
if
Session("smth") = 1.
There is also an empty iframe in this page (src is not specified).
When I click the button I will fill the iframe with a page (src =
'another.asp').
For security reasons I check the login session in another.asp and
Session("smth") is empty no matter I have logged before.
In mypage.asp Session("smth") is still on and its value is 1 but it
looks like it gets lost in the iframe.
Any idea why and how to fix this issue?

To better manage our secure site we just separated the registration and
checkout sections of our web into separate virtual directories. These new
virtual directories are on the same server as the primary eCommerce website.
This is an ASP site (not asp.net). When this version goes into production it
will be on a 2003 server (IIS 6) with a SQL Server backend (located on a
different server).
Now when the main server passes control to one of the new virtual webs the
session information is lost. I'm having problems finding information on the
web as to how to maintain this information between the web and virtual
directories. It's imperative that this information remain secure so query
strings or anything that would pass visible data is not an option.

if a URL is
https://www.mysite.com/mypage.asp
clients are redirected to
http://www.mysite.com/mypage.asp
This works fine for all but 1 client. He looses a session during the
redirect. Apparently his browser interprets https:// and http:// as
different domains.

I have a web site where once a user has logged on I store their MemberID in a global variable in the global.asa file.
Then in other pages I find out which member I am dealing with by looking at this variable, ie:
<%
Private lgMemberID
lgMemberID = Session.Contents("MemberID")
%>
I then use this variable to query a database... Code:

Our asp programs seem to have different behaviors when users use IE and firefox. One of most annoying things is the data disappearing problem in IE but not in firefox.(Note: Sometimes a search program can run much faster in Firefox than in IE, don't know why)
For example, I have an internal user interface which they can do different product data
entry, the program will use Server.Transfer to different asp program for data entry.
Page1---UserInterface.asp
Select Case Request("Product")
Case "Sel"
Server.transfer("/Virtualdir1/test1.asp ")
Server.Transfer("/Virtualdir2/Test2.asp")
Case "Bear"
Server.Transfer("/Virtualdir3/test3.asp")
Case "IMED"
Server.Transfer("test4.asp")
Case "AC"
Server.Transfer("/Virtualdir4/test5.asp")
Case Else
End Select
When user finished data entry on test1.asp(second page, the web address will still show UserInterface.asp page as you know), click continue, on the third page if they found something typed wrong, if they click back button in the broswer, all data on the second page is gone. This only occurrs in IE, Firefox is fine.
It's very annoying, how can I fix it, if not, is there any other way?

I want to create an administration page which lists all the current users who are on the site at the moment.
I know coldfusion has this feature built in using the SessionTracker class... does ASP have something similar? If not... is there any way I can just iterate through all the session files on the server...?

I am using Session variables in my ASP application. I have tested the
application on a Win2k professional and it works fine. When the same web
app is installed on a win2k advanced server from the client browser when the
app is accessed the session variable returns null inspite of a value being
already set. I have checked the IIS enable session state settings. When i
use the server machine as client and access the app as localhost then the
session variable has correct value.
How can this be solved? What other settings if any, need to be changed to
get it work.

Do session variables carry over if you've left your site and come back?
My shopping cart uses PayPal/IPN to transact and then enter details of the transaction into my database. All of the data entry takes place after IPN has returned all of the data to my site.
A couple of the fields I need to populate are held in session variables throughout the application. When the customer clicks on the checkout button, and is sent over to PayPal's server to complete the transaction, will the session variables still be available to me upon returning to my site?

Is there a way to close a single session variable, once it's been created? I have an application that requires a several session variables to be created once a person enteres a certian section of my site. When they leave the variables are set to nothing, as they are no longer needed. I'd like to just close them out, but I will still need to keep the session open, so Session.Abandon will not work in this case.

On my IIS 5.0 i have enable session state set to 20 minutes
ASP SCRIPT TIMEOUT set to 200 seconds.
On my asp pages i even coded in session.timeout = 60
When i check the value of one of my sessions on a page i
am being returned to main page.
i.e If session("basket") = "" then
go to mainpage.asp
When i check the session.timeout on the page this is set
to 60
If i wait around for a few minutes i.e 5 then i am taken
back to mainpage.asp...
The server is not given me the 20 minutes session state.

I cannot seem to get session variables to work on our test server.
The test server is running windows server 2000 with service pack 4, iis 5.0.2195.6620, and sql server 2000.
However, on our main server, NT 4.0 fully updated, they do work.
Could anyone enlighten me as to why session variables don't work on Windows Server 2000?

We have different types of logins for our accounts on our intranet. When a
person logs in, a Session variable is set to determine their level of
access. For sake of argument, say the two LoginTypes are Manager and
Employee.When I log in (as a Manager), I get a certain set of options on the
homepage. Then I return to the login page, after logging in as myself, and
log in as an Employee. For some reason, the page seems "cached" and the
manager options will still display. If I refresh this page, it will appear
the way it should. I *think* this only happens when I copy/paste a URL that
I was at as a Manager. I believe that if I click a link, it displays
properly.Is there a way to prevent this? I do a ton of copying/pasting
URLs.

I would like to declare a session variable.
' Use session variables for the recordsets for the GetSubordinates and IsManager functions
Dim orgStructRS
set orgStructRS = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
Where can I declare this session variables?
Once I use the recordset in both the functions, where do I close these recordsets?

I have read couple of articles warning against the use of storing VB COM
objects (Apartment Threading) in Session Variables due to the fact that
these variables could go bad.My question is what's the workaround this?
I have also read about making ASP Stateless...I'm guessing that means
turning the session and application variables off and if you do that
then how do you pass information for a particular user from one page to
another?I'm confused about how to get an ASP site working without using
Application and Session variables as well as not storing VB COM objects
in Session Variables.

I have a session variable in a login page. Then I go to a form page where I
uses the ProfileID and the UserID. Then I go to a result page where I would
like to use the UserID as a filter, but I can't get the value is stored in it.

I'm loading a variable into the session variables that will be for checking to see if the user can access a certain area of the website. When the user logs out or gives and incorrect login password is it better to kill off all the variables using session.abandon or to set the session access variable to False?
I'm not really concerned about using the servers resources with this one variable, but I would like to keep the server as free as possible.

I've noticed that in my ASP application that session variables are not carried over from
one IE6 open browser window to another.
Can anyone tell me how IE can do this? It seems like it's a useful protection mechanism
that I can add to my application.
BTW, I'm looking for a way to determine if someone is moving cookies between computers.
How IE and/or ASP handles sessions might give me some insights (and I'm open to
suggestions as to how to prevent cookie stealing?)

I have an ASP [Classic] application running under IIS 5 & 6 [on different
servers (obviously)]
I need to implement Session() variables to cache some frequently looked up
data. Because of the nature of the data, it is best held in the Session()
rather than the Application() object.Is there a limit to the how long the parameter name can be?
For example:
Session("HairColour") - the parameter name length her is 10 characters -
what's the max length (is there a max length)?
I ask because my code will generate these parameter names on the fly and I
don't want them to break anything
