Windows XP IE browser cookie session doesn't get deleted

M

I have a webapplication, where i use browser cookie for Single-Sign-On
after user does login to our system. But I'm encountering a problem in
our production that the cookie session is not getting deleted with user
logout or when user closes his browser. The user who login after that
keeps the same old user credentials. The IE seems to cache the
cookies/pages.

I'm using JSP to set the cookie using Java HTTP Cookie class. This
problem is not with all the users, but just with users with Windows XP
mainly. This problem is resolved once the end user go to IE Options ->
Delete cookies -> Delete temp files. Then if he login it works fine.

Is there a way to get around this problem? Is there a specific thing
need to be done on my JSP or some configuration to be set on
end-user's IE? We cant say each users of same machine to go each time
to go to IE options and do the clear process. Please advice. Any input
on this is appreciated.

Hi,
Try this:
Open IE properties and on Advanced Tab scroll dwon to the Security option:
[ ] Empty Temporary Internet Files folders when browser is closed
check this box.
Also try to turn Autocomplete oFF from the Content Tab and on Autocomplete
Button uncheck the boxes there for password, forms and web address.
