>> (assuming the user had left the site or closed the browser): check
CGI.HTTP_REFERER

but you don't have to (muck around with http_referer - which in not 100%
reliable and can be a PITA to put in place)

when I switched from ASP to CF, these sticky sessions were one of the
first changes to trip me up. ASP always killed sessions on browser close
(or navigate away). CF doesn't.

IMHO, the link I gave to a work-around is an OK way to do it. IIRC, Gary
Menzel posted an even shorter/tidier one (to go into the Application.cfm
page) on CFAUSSIE over a year ago.

I whinged about having to do so at the time (I was a Microsoft "snob")
but with a couple of lines of code, the problem is gone for good. no big
deal.

- and the best bit? if you DO want your sessions "sticky", they're set
as such by default!

just my 2c worth.

Hmmmm

I had to handle this scenario re: someone coming back and accessing the
site
(intranet application) and "inheriting" the last user's privileges.

The way we ended up doing this is (assuming the user had left the site
or
closed the browser): check CGI.HTTP_REFERER. If the user is not
navigating
from within the application (or site), assume they logged out and reset
their session accordingly, taking them back to the login screen. I think
there was a nocache strategy in there somewhere also so [<= Back] didnt
give
away too much information.

HTH
