.NET Forms Authentication / Session cookies

[anony]

Hi,

I have a site that uses forms authentication to secure the directory. The
site behaves as expected when viewed externally... if I close the browser
and attempt to access it again, I get prompted to login. However, locally
here on the network, if I close the browser and open a new one and access
the site again, I don't have to login. Can anyone shed some light as to
what's going on?

Thanks,
Brian

Are you sure that the permissions are the same in both cases.?
It sounds like one may be saving the cookie to disk and the other cannot so
it exists only for lifetime of the browser.

Well, it's the same code in both cases.... just behaving differently when
viewed internally and externally. I'm not using persistent cookies... just
forms authentication using session cookies.

Thanks.
