Is there any way to force a new session, if a user opens a new tab then goes
to the same app that is in the first window?
We use the pretty standard cfapplication that allows cookies and session
management.
I have found that sometimes users will open a new tab and go to the same
What you are asking to do really isn't possible because of the stateless
nature of http because you can't tell where the user is coming from. If they
are authenticated then the application / web server has no idea what client
(browser window) they are coming from and will let them perform any task
Actually, that has nothing to do with it Steve, the issue is not one
of state at all. The problem is one of process isolation assuming
we're referring to session cookies which are only retained in memory.
IE supports a different process per browser window, Firefox does not.
For cookies

things that you had not thought about before...but in theory,
it's possible.
