Hi,

I'm writing my first real asp.net, using vb, web site. I'm using a Master page and I have a Login section in my page (I didn't use the Login Control becasue i couldn't get it to look the way I wanted...anyone else not like having control of that control?) anyway, I was on IM with a friend, asking him to check it out. He registered, logged in and said everything seemed to be working. That is when I went to the web and launched the site as well. When the page came up I was logged in as him automatically...I thought that seemed really odd. Any ideas as to y that would happen and what i might do to prevent it from happening again?

I haven't done any programming to handle any browser other than IE yet and I know he was using mozilla if that might help.

Thanks

Gene

It is near impossible to help you, not knowing how any of your authentication process works.

[Eugenious]

I'm using a SQL table. If the user name & password match I use an Application varible to hold user name and unique user id. I write the info to a cookie if they check remember me.

That's all i have. If you need more info I wouldn't know what to tell you. Sorry. Got to be a little frustrating helping us newbie's...if it's any consolation, i'm just as frustrated...but I am slowly learning so there is a little light at the end of the tunnel!

Thanks

Post your code so we can help you.

Did you look into ASP.NET built-in authentication system? it's very powerful and does what you are looking for and much more.

Use a session variable rather than an application variable.

Eugenious, for info: A session variable is available for each individual user(session) whereas an application variable only exists once for the entire application.

Not only did that help but it all made sense to me as well! Thanks
