Hi,

I have some kind of strange session behaviour on one customer server. The
first time I connect to my webapp and login the session gets abandoned
directly and I get redirected to the login page. When I log in now, it most
likely work. The same code on our server and other servers work. What kind
of setting could cause this? Itīs not on the client side, because I tested
with a handheld computer to login on this server and our own, and the error
only appear on the customer server.

The environment is as following:

Windows 2003 Server
IIS 6.0
Pervasive SQL Server 2000i
Visual Dataflex 7
WebApp Server 3
40 user license

Any suggestions?

Kind Regards
Niklas

It could look like you are using process pooling on this server, and
keep the "logged in" status in the webapp process. If you have two
processes then you will have to log in twice, and other users may enter
directly into a previous user, without logging in, except when they are
requesting the login page directly.

If this is not the case you should examine or supply the ASP or VDF
login logic.
