SessionState

[Kenny]

Hi ,

I have created two Web Application - WebApplication1 and WebApplication2 in
same machine for testing purpose.
e.g
http://localhost/WebApplication1.aspx
http://localhost/WebApplication2.aspx

I have this setup for both WebApplication's Web.Config
<sessionState mode="SQLServer" stateConnectionString="tcpip=127.0.0.1:42424"
sqlConnectionString="data source=127.0.0.1; integrated security=true"
cookieless="true" timeout="20" />

ASP.NET State Service - Started

First, I created a Session Variable during the PageLoad e.g.
Session("Testing") = "This is for testing purpose"
Once I click a a button which
Response.Redirect("http://localhost/WebApplication2.aspx")
In WebApplication2, I am not able to retrieve the value of the Session e.g.
Response.Write(Session("Testing")). Why?

in SQL Server, since I am using the InstallPersistSqlState.sql so that I can
have the Session value store in the table for testing purpose. I found out
that the first Session created when PageLoad in WebApplication1, once I
click the button and redirect to WebApplication2, another new session
created.

Please help ....

Thanks,
Kenny

Make sure both applications have the same machine key settings and make sure
the cookie name is the same.

Set up in web.config:
---------------------
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms name="{CookieNameHere}" path="/"
loginUrl="login.aspx" protection="All" timeout="10" />
</authentication>

<machineKey
validationKey="{ValidationKey}"
decryptionKey="{DecryptKey}"
validation="3DES"
/>

If you leave at default, each server will create its own key. NOTE: You
cannot share session variables across apps (or at least I know of nobody who
has found a way), but you can use the session for a single sign on, as the
session ID will be the same.

Hi,

Is it very important to put the authentication mode?

This is my test scenario:
http://192.168.0.100/Test/WebForm1.aspx
http://192.168.0.100/Test/WebForm2.aspx

http://192.168.0.111/Test/WebForm1.aspx

both WebForm1.aspx will create a Session variable with value

http://192.168.0.100/Test/WebForm1.aspx have a button to load the
WebForm2.aspx and display the Session value

http://192.168.0.111/Test/WebForm1.aspx have a button to redirect to
http://192.168.0.100/Test/WebForm2.aspx and display the Session value

both have the same Web.Config

<sessionState mode="StateServer"
stateConnectionString="tcpip=192.168.0.100:42424" timeout="240" />
<machineKey
validationKey="37429795AA5F554C0DD89D815E3A428C865046C666BC91798F52F31C24E6C
D231756FAE36890A0C5401B907CC887558C2838C21F8696D686A83EC65FF0E74DFD"
decryptionKey="32FD4B2E0C6D6F08E64B0A15CE5E05D660362A9A549D7F2C"
validation="3DES" />

both ASP.NET State Service started

Thank you.
