Hi to all,

I am posting this to inform that if the client uses a software firewall 
(mine is ZoneAlarm Security Suite), the session can't open because 
zonealarm blocks the cookie even if is session one.

ZoneAlarm identifies the cookie as persistent and blocks it. The client 
must setup Zonealarm not to block the persistent cookies in order to 
handle sessions from WAA.

ps: finally managed to start diging WAA

Updating info:

After a lot of searching:

Instead of opensession :

a) create a cookie without expiration date (this is sesion cookie and it 
is permitted from IE even if cookies are disabled, laos did not have to 
change security settings at the firewall, setting: block persistent 
cookies). The creation of the cookie is after the login validation.

b) At another page, check for the cookie, if the user has logged in 
normaly it is ok.

c) When the client browser closes, the session is closed and no cookie 
remains at the client side. And even from the same PC if the browser 
opens and requests a page, the client has to re-login.

Sorry if a say thinks you already know, i am starting now with WAA and i 
am sorting things out

Regards
Vagelis

I create a cookie on the home page without an expiry date and then check for
its existence on a subsequent page (thanks to Phil's code).
However, I am using WAA 1.82.and when the client closes their browser the
cookie remains on their machine.
Are you saying that with WAA 1.9 the session cookie is deleted?
Do you (or anyone else) know what the differences are between WAA 1.82 and
1.9?
From  cursory look, the documentation appeared the same except for the
wireless functionality.

The persistence of the cookie is a function of the browser, not WAA, if
there is no expiration date.

Note that you have to close ALL browser windows in order for the cookie to
be deleted!

Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.

Thanks, Phil
Are there any differences between WAA1.82 and 1.9 besides the wireless
functionality?

To be honest, I haven't really looked at WAA 1.9.
