RE: Can anyone tell me why someone would do this?
We do something like this because our development server has both an area for the dev projects but also for client-betas (duplicate of the code base with public facing access). We use the HASHing to make sure the two applications don't start overwriting each other's cached values. ..

Or, was the application meant for shared hosting...this may have been a way to make sure there wasn't any conflict there. I doubt if that in itself is causing your session management issues, it produces a valid...though unreadable...application name. ~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.

It looks like an attempt to keep folks from accessing individual pages, without going through some kind of entrance page.

Re: Can anyone tell me why someone would do this?
It's the application name, not the session name. We do something like this on our dev server, so each developer can have independent instances of the application without stepping on each others application and session scopes, etc. and without having to remember to manually rename the application for each instance.
