Firewall vs. FormsAuthentication
-
I manage a site with about a hundred thousand registrants. We recently just switched from ASP 3.0 for .NET and for the most part it all went pretty well. But then the customer support team were reporting calls of people who could not get logged in. Just a few people a week. After little more inquery I found that they were logging in but their firewall software, namely ZoneAlarm, was not allowing cookies, so they weren't able to persist thier login or in this case even thier session. I can't imagine telling people to readjust thier firewall protection to allow them to log on to the site. So I'm calling upon the collective knowledge here while I continue poking around in this issue.

I searched Google for "Cookieless Login" and found quite a few good examples.
