Problems with Session variable

[Guest]

Hello:

I just wrote my first ASP.Net application, tested it on my development
environment and deployed it on a production server. That's when I encountered
a problem.

In my Global.ASCX, I have coded the Session_Start event
1. I read Request.ServerVariables("Auth_User")
2. Save it as a variable, userid, in the session variable.

Here is the problem:

1. User A signs in and the screen shows that the userid is "User A".
2. User B signs in through another workstation and his user ID shows "User
A" when in fact it should show "User B".

Can somebody tell me what I am doing wrong?

I thought the session is private to the user?

1. User A signs in

How exactly does user A sign in...? What authentication method are you
using?

Can somebody tell me what I am doing wrong?

Well, for a start, you're posting a problem without showing us your code...

Simple: Don't do it from Global.asax. I can't see your code, but it seems like you are doing something that would allow for the conflict to occur. Shouldn't you be doing this elsewhere, like, upon login?

Also, out of pure speculation, I suspect that setting a session variable in the session_start event is uhm... loopy.
