i have seen that behavior (to a certain extent) on local machine but once i
put it on my host it does behave...
the behavior i noticed was that if you logged in using forms authentication
and didnot explicitly signout.. ie invalidating the cookie.. . you can still
open a new browser window and you can go straight through... but only for
the period of time where the ticket is valid... ( the session is again
dependant on browser instance.. so i will have a new session)
ie i explicity create forms ticket and i specify a valid till time of 30
mins...
session is a different story all togather... session is not bound by forms
authentication rather by itself it based on whether it receives any request
from client... 20 mins i think is the default timeout... so you can still
hav a valid cookie but can have new session if you log in and not use you
site for 25 mins.. and then start browsing again...
they are two different things (session and authentication) and dont confuse
them.... when you design you app just be sure that you know how exactly it
behaves.
