I just had one of the office workers open each workstation's browser
and delete all the cookies in the temporary Internet files. She deleted
them manually, so they're gone.
After that, I had her close and reopen each browser and the application
and access a different client's file, thereby setting a different
Session.ClientID
on each workstation. I then had her refresh one of the browsers and, sure
enough,
the last workstation to access the Client Management area, which first sets
the
Session.ClientID variable showed up on the other browser.
It' like this...
Browser accessing client app
Session.ClientID is set
2nd Browser accesses client app, different client
Session.ClientID is set on 2nd workstation
First browser is refreshed
Client info pulled up on 2nd workstation now appears on first.
So, the Session.ClientID variable is being overwritten each time
the app redefines the Session.ClientID. The two workstations are not
maintaining
separate sessions...
Is appending CFID/CFTOKEN variables to every link and embedding them in
every form the answer?
Thanks,
Rick
