I cannot reproduce this and, in fact, if this were broke nothing in web2py would work since everything relies on sessions. There are some possibilities: 1) your browser has cookies disabled (so sessions are re-issued at every request) 2) there is a proxy in between that deletes session cookies 3) there is something in your code that prevents saving of sessions, for example session._forget()
