Hi, i'm using asp session object into my pages for autentication:

Session("authuser") = "ok"

The session variable works only in some directories, but in some other
directories if i tests Session("authuser") it results null.

I think that Frontpage isolates some directories?

Please help me.
Thanks

ASP session do not cross subwebs, so all protected content needs to be in the same web.

Hi Mik,

Even if the other directories are subwebs the session should follow. Make that there is not another global.asa or that an
application has been defined on the directory.

ASP session do not cross subwebs (if marked as a application root) or changes in domains URLs, such
as:

http://domain.com
http://www.domain.com
http://www.domain.com/subweb
https://www.domain.com

Each of the above will create a unique session ID, as you move between them, and suspend the
previous one until you return, as long as it is within the default 20 minutes, otherwise it expires.

The setting of the application root is done on the server. Best approach is to keep all restricted
content in the same (sub)web, then you do not have to worry about losing sessions.

So if i want to use a "sparse" site authentication, it is not possible?

Sorry,
I intended to use session authentication in all the directories of the web
site, even in the subdirectories or subwebs, i.e. to put protected contents
in all directories and not in a only one.
Thanks

Ok, I have done this as well, but I don't include subweb in the authentication scheme, just sub
directories.

I however find it easier to manage a site by having all of the restricted content in a single
subweb, especially if part of the site is open to the public and I want the site to be indexed by
search engines.

Another reason for using a subweb, is that I can control the URL that is use to access the subweb so
that session doesn't become suspended, without having to use Absolute URLs for each link.
