Perhaps you could use a simple script to go through all the webvars and see
which if anything useful is getting through your firewall.

Is there some way to extract the invariant part of the session tag?
This might do what you want.

Another idea that might work would be to use cookies.
If the cookie already exists get it.
If it does not set a cookie with some sequential number you get from a
database.

Maybe you could have a quick chat to the firewall people and see what they
can suggest.
If the application is internal another option is to configure the browsers
to go straight to the server and bypass the firewall.

Tell us how you go.

        Subject:        [ND] CSpVars

        Hello,

        I am trying to use CSpider.getWebEnvVars(CSpVars.REMOTE_ADDR) to
obtain a 
        unique identifier of our application users.  The problem I am
running into is 
        that this value only returns the IP of our firewall when the
application is 
        deployed in a production environment.  

        Does anyone know of a unique value I can use that would not be
affected by a 
        firewall?

        Thank you in advance,

        Sal
