Thanks Chris Norloff and Jeff Beer!

Looks like we have this one resolved.  But, there is still a question. The
problem was that the setClientCookies parameter of the <cfapplication> tags
where unintenionally set to "no".  The question then - is why did many
clients pass the session.cfid and session.cftoken WITHOUT using cookies or
URL variables???  Is this not incorrect behavior?  With that parameter set
shouldn't all users have failed?  If anybody has any insight into this, I
would love to hear it.

Thanks again.

Subject: BIZZARE Session Problem


I thought I had this fixed, changes we made the last couple of days
eliminated the problem for some users. After adding addToken="no" to all our
<cflocation> tags and removing unnecessary sessionmanagement="yes" and
sessiontimeout parameters from the <cfapplication> tag in the root
Application.cfm file, more useres where able to correctly use the
application. But continued use and testing have determined that some clients
are still experiencing the problem. 

To summerize the problem again. We have a training application that is
supposed to time out after 15 minutes of inactivity. We are using a variable
SESSION.registered set to time out in 15 minutes to track this. Then each
template through Application.cfm in the training application checks to make
sure that this variable exists before displaying the page. But the session
is not persisting for some users. For some reason, new CFID and CFTOKENS are
being generated by every HTTP request. Thus SESSION.registered keeps
disappearing by the next page and the user is put into an endless loop.

Please refer to the following link to see the previous topic on this
problem.

Thank You
