Session sharing in firefox
-
Hi all... I am experiencing problems due to session sharing in firefox. I have made and application and when I log on with two different users with different privileges on the same machine the session of one got intermixed with the other. For example: Scenerio: I login with user abc 123 Then I logon with xyz 456 I click on a link which is shown in abc and I get directed to the same page as requested but now the user name which i am showing at the top gets changed showing xyz now and when I get back to my home page again through a link the homepage gets modified according to xyz settings. Please help me in this regard. Thx Sam

You are using two firefox tabs rite ? In two different FF windows session will be different. But firefox will share session across tabs. I think, I saw bug report regarding this in BugZilla.

The same thing happens with the new tab feature of IE7. When you open multiple tabs and try to access the same website and log in, only one session will remain and that will be the one of the last account that you logged in to. To simulate multiple users accessing the site, you need to open multiple browser windows, not tabs. Each browser window will be given a session ID by the web server. Talal

Yes this is possible.... The same question is posted by a user when i googled "session sharing in firefox" the second post is as follows... " Is it possible to restrict Firefox such that if you log into the same web site with two different logins in two different windows/tabs that the data is not shared between the two? When I log into the website in the first window, everything's fine. When I log in again with a different user name, everything *appears* fine. However, when I go back to the first window, all of the session data is now that of the second login. How can I make Firefox behave and not share session information between tabs/windows? -Mike "

Does the same thing happen with IE7?

Well, I tried this on my computer and it worked as expected. It was not sharing the code. Could you post your session checking and label assigning code ?

Are you using Modules to do the business logics? Module shares the Sessions. Try to use a completely Object Oriented Programming. Modules usage in VB 6.0 period is different comparing to VS 2005 period.

Actually there is an issue with the firefox... Firefox accepts a cookie from a website containing the session id. Then if that site is opened again in a different window it accepts a different cookie when the user tries to log on. If i guess correctly it overwrites the previous one and then you can act as different user altogether( The one who has signed in at a later stage) So, this is to be stopped.

That's because you can't have two instances of Firefox running. When you try to start another instance, it will just open another window in the first instance. You can look in the process list in Task Manager, and you will see that there is only one Firefox process.

Why do you need two users on the same machine. Will this be a regular occurance in production?

How are you opening the second Firefox window? Are you actually creating a whole new process? If you look in Window's taskmanager's Processes tab is a new process being created? It seems that the session is tied to the application's process. The reason I ask this is because IE 6 (yes I said 6) will also show this problem of shared session if you open a new IE window using the CTRL+N shortcut. This is because IE is opening a new window but it is still in the same process. Darn, I should have read a couple more posts before posting. Guffa is correct.

If you need separate windows to be separate identities, you can't use sessions or cookies to identify them. The identification has to follow the page, and be sent back and forth between the browser and the server for every request. You can for example put an id in a hidden field in the form. That way the id goes into the page, and back to the server at postback.
