Hi Brian, The reason you are seeing the same session id show up is because you have setclientcookies = yes. This stores the CFID and CFTOKEN, and if existent will be reused. The cookie does not get killed on browser close in this scenario.
What we did was setclientcookies = no, then manually create the cookie per notes in one of those links. We also enabled J2EE Sessions in cfadmin. Doing these things made it so when the browser was closed, the cookie was killed (the cookie gets setup as a per-session, in-memory cookie, not a persistent cookie). I think you must turn on J2EE sessions for the session to not be stored in a persistent cookie. Hope that helps. Cheers, Kris > Kris and Andrew, thanks for your time..
