    Session Problems - seems to be around http/https transfer

    I recently moved a classic ASP application from an environment that was Windows Server 2003 and IIS 6.

    It is now running on IIS 7 within windows Server 2008.

    Basically, the problem is that session variables seem to be randomly being dropped.  It is totally sporadic, and seems to happen when moving from an unsecure (http) page to a secure (https) page.

    I am really struggling to work out what the problem is because the problem is not consistent.


    The application cose hasn't changed, so this leads me to believe that there may be a setting that needs changing in IIS or perhaps some kind pf problem with the site's certificate.

    Any suggestions would really help, like I said I am really fighting with the one. Thanks

     Update:

    I created two simple test pages that print the session ID on a HTTP page and a HTTPS page.  The two have a hyperlink between each other.  The session IDs are different - so for some reason a client session is not maintained when moving to https from http

    Fixed.  One of my collegues found a setting in IIS seven under ASP > Session Properties > New ID on secure Connection.

     

    This has caused us untold problems.
