Greetings,
One problem with using cookies for session management is that the user
can have two browsers open doing the same process.
Which means the first cookie Session ID will be over writen by the
second one. Which can lead to horrid results if the user continues the
first process but has the session ID from the second process.
May not be an issue out in the Internet but is a true pain in an
intranet environment.
Cheers Stuart.
