Hello,

We have an application that uses a persistent cookie to store the language of the user and a session cookie for authentication.

Now our site starts with a number of tests such as: javascript, cookies, flash plugin, sound and popup and only if all tests succeed you can go to the logon page.

After logging in you can see the application.
Now one of our clients has a serieus problem, she passes all the tests but upon logging in she goes to the default page and get's redirected tot the logon page again. (form authentication).

Now I was wondering how this is possible. It's allmost like a persistent cookie is enabled (otherweise she's not able to skip the language page) and a session cookie isn't.

I hope this explains it a bit.

Cheers, M.
