How about passing the session ids in the url like you woud do if the user had cookies disabled?

I have 20+ web applications hooked up with single-sign-on. Each web application generates a JESSIONID session cookie with a different path, and shares a single JSESSIONIDSSO. When testing my suite of applications, I notice that IE consistently drops my login after accessing the 20th web application within a session. I did some research and learned about RFC 2109 where HTTP agents should support a minimum of 20 session cookies per domain. That appears to be just what IE does. The following Microsoft knowledgebase article explains that: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;306070. I suspect JSESSIONIDSSO was the oldest cookie, and was the first to get dropped by IE when reaching over 20 session cookies. Firefox does not have this problem. Knowing that I cannot easily refactor the application suite to make less number of web application (< 19), I am wondering if anyone else has this problem, and if and how I might work around this IE limitation.
