SAME Session id in 2 different Firefox browsers, 2 different logins?

Hi,
I just had some weird stuff happen which I traced to working in 2 Firefox browsers, which I logged into my http://apex.oracle.com workspace, ran the same application in each browser and got the same Session Id in both.
What causes this?

If you login to the development environment in multiple browsers windows that share the same OS process for the browser, you can maintain separate session IDs in each window for the development tools, e.g., the Builder, as long as you don't run an application using a Run Page or Run Application link and then jump back to the development tools using the developer toolbar links. Those links will send you into the Builder using the session ID allocated to the last browser window you opened in which you authenticated to the development environment.

Mozilla using the same session ID for different browser

Hi
I am using mozilla to test my application. I tested two subscription of my application in two different mozilla browsers simultaneously.
Here I Found details are swapped. Because mozilla using the same JSession ID for the two browser.
This is a flaw in mozilla or whether this issue is solved in any one of the version of mozilla.
When ever I am opening a new window, new session ID should be created like in IE (Internet explorer).this not happening in Mozilla.
Can any one help me out from this problem?

Same session in different computers

hi all,
i have a web reporting package running in sun java application server. i am keeping user object in session scope with following code in all pages which need user information like user.name, user.message, etc.
<jsp:useBean id="user" class="somepackage.User" scope="session" />
i have a front controller to check authentication and authorization. that i developed a year back. it was working fine. from that time i never concentrated on authentication and authorization because that front controller is taking care of authentication and authorization of all requests.
today i observed that if i login in one computer, who ever uses that web application next in another computer, is getting my username and my privileges.
in my first observation it is happening only to explorer. i will check firefox thoroughly tomorrow.
i am using this logic for the last few years without any problem.
the users are behind firewall/proxy server (because i can see only one ip address for all of them.)
can anyone help me in solving this? or how to proceed or how to separate the problem...etc
thanks in advance,
ksmoses.

vignesh and BalusC,
following is the code in front controller's doFilter method. is this not thread safe?
        HttpServletRequest req = (HttpServletRequest) request;
        HttpServletResponse res = (HttpServletResponse) response;
        HttpSession session = req.getSession();
        somepackage.User user;
        if(session.getAttribute("user") == null){
            user = new somepackage.User();
            session.setAttribute("user", user);
        }else{
            user = (somepackage.User) session.getAttribute("user");
        }user object maintains all information about a user. if it is in session scope, everything should work fine.
another observation is after some time of usage, both people in different systems are getting same session.getId()
in my logout page i am using
session.invalidate();
thanks,
moses

Is it possible to have two Firefox browsers (3&20) on the same OS?

I have been using my 3.6.28 Firefox for more than 3 years and still want to use it in the future. Some functions are not working when I visit websites so I need to install the newest as to see them. I have Google Chrome as my second browser but would like to swap it for the latest Firefox. Read on some forum that its not possible to have two Firefox browsers on the same Win OS. Is it possible to have both my old Firefox 3 and Firefox 20 installed on the same Win XP OS as teo different programs?

Yes it is possible, but you need to create a new profile for the 2nd version.

Same Session from two IE browsers

I am using Internet Explorer 6 version. When i am accessing my servlets using two different IE browsers, i am getting the sessions of both the browsers with same id and data. I am not opening the 2nd browser with Ctnl + N. Also after closing the browser, the session is not getting invalidated.
So the problem is, i am not able to login with two different users from the same machine. And the user need to explicitly click the logout before closing, which i dont want.
Please provide me help in this.

Hi ,
I am facing very similar situation. I need to keep individual logical session within an user session. I hope it would be extremely helpful to me if you could send me the source code. It would help me to quickly use the methods to implement the same.
Thanks & Regards,
Girish
I've come across this in the past.
To get around this, I have created a class called
DialogueMgr.
It lets you partition the HttpSession into logical
slices or "dialogues".
Basically, under the covers it just name spaces each
attribute in the HttpSession according to the
dialogue.
For example, if you had 2 dialogues (2 logical
sessions within 1 session) and each dialogue had a
"User Name" attribute, they would be stored in the
session as name=dialogue1userName" and
name=dialogue2userName. The DialogueMgr class hides
this and manages the session for the client.
The way I implemented it, I have the following
methods:
beginDialogue()
endDialogue()
getAttribute(Object argKey)
getAttributes()
hasValidDialogue()
setAttribute(Object argKey)
If you are interested I can send some code.

Firefox always uses the same session id

Hi,
our company changes standard browser from IE6 to Firefox 3.5.10 .
Now we have great problems with with our ColdFusion application when running it inside Firefox ,because Firefox doesn't create new session id
when working in two tabs or two windows. It always uses the same cfid and cftoken.
So it is not possible to work with two different sessions.
IE6 always creates new session id when opening new window.
Has somebody solved this problem? It is very urgent!!!
regards
Claudia

I suspect that this is browser issue, not a server-side (CF) issue. In order to support different cookies in different tabs you will probably need to try to find a Firefox extension to change how the browser uses cookies.
This extension is advertised as doing what you need. Note that I have never used this product.

How to run 2 different Firefox versions using the same profile

Is it possible to run 2 different Firefox versions using the same profile and still have browsing history saved? I used to be able to do that up until a week ago. What happened was I was using Firefox version 3.6.28(a very old version of Firefox) which I need to use sometimes and then the current version, 36.01. Earlier I would use both my versions of Firefox and the history would be saved if I used both versions but now when version 36.01 came out, its not saving for some reason. Is this a bug? The history is saving during the current session, but say I close out of Firefox and then go back to Firefox, it will still be saved but when I go to my old version of Firefox, the history is saved but then after I close out of that the history on my new current version is all gone and it starts me all fresh, is there a way to get rid of this so that the history will always be saved even if i switch between versions? I could do that before up until Firefox 35.01 but Firefox 36 isnt saving the history from the old version, is this a bug or not? Now I have to create a separate profile for each Firefox so the history I use on the old version is only saved on that version and the history I have on the new Firefox is another profile so that history from the 2nd profile remains but I dont want that. I want to be able to use the same profile so that the same browsing history can be saved using both versions like it was before, I hope people can understand my problem. If not I can further explain, thanks.

@ the-edmeister, I understand that the 2 versions are completely different, however how come the history was saving fine when I switched between firefox 3.6.28 to the current one which was Firefox 32, 33, 34, 35 etc? Like I'm surprised how come now at Firefox 36 this problem started, Firefox 36 isnt that much different from Firefox 35 but yet Firefox 35 was still saving my browser history from the old 3.6.28 version, my 3.6.28 version never upgrades but the new Firefox keeps upgrading whenever there is a new release out automatically and then all of a sudden when the new version of 36.01 came out all my history was gone, so isnt Firefox 35.01 also very much different from 3.6.28 as much as 36.01 is? I hope you got what I meant, thank you for helping.

Why do different users get the same session ID assigned???

I have a database with users (username, password....). When a user logs on (through JSP and servlet), the user attributes get stored in a session.
However, when I test my application (currently on my own pc), and I log on using a username in 1 window and then log on with another username in another window, I see these users get assigned identical session-ids! Is this because I'm testing this on my own pc environment?? Of course because they get the same session-ids, my application doesn't work right because if one user removes an attribute, the other user loses it as well. ????
Thx in advance for expert advise!

Try using IE for one user and FireFox for the other. The browsers wouldn't share cookies.

What happens if you rename the iPhone "Wife" when it shows up as "Hubby", then choose a different set of apps/playlists to sync with? iTunes is supposed to be able to manage multiple devices, each with their own selection of content. Perhaps you "restored" "Wife" with a backup from "Hubby" when you first set things up which is now causing confusion.
To create a new library press and hold down the shift key as you click the icon to start iTunes and keep holding shift until asked to choose or create a library. You need to use the same technique to switch back.

How can I use the same session for different components acroos application ?

I am trying to include the components(chat, filesharing, whitboard) in different parts of my application. User should be able to access any of the component. We would like to have a single "ConnectSessionContainer" so that we don't see same user creating a seperate session for each component.
Is there a better way of dealing with this other than declaring the "ConnectSessionContainer" in the main application ? Is there a way to check if we have a "ConnectSessionContainer" session already established ? Please help . Thanks.

Thanks for the response. Let me explain what I am trying to do..
I am trying to create components at different places(screens) of the flex application (not in the same .mxml file).
Each time I create a component, I am using a "AdobeHSAuthenticator" and "ConnectSessionContainer" which is resulting a new participant in the room.
For example
screen1.mxml -
<mx:Panel>
<rtc:AdobeHSAuthenticator id="auth" authenticationSuccess="onAuthSuccess(event);" authenticationFailure="onAuthFailure(event);" />
<rtc:ConnectSessionContainer id="mySession" >
        <rtc:Roster id="myRoster" width="100%" height="100%" />
        <rtc:Chat id="mychat" width="100%" height="100%" />
</rtc:ConnectSessionContainer>
</mx:Panel>
screen2.mxml (in the same application) -
<mx:Panel>
<rtc:AdobeHSAuthenticator id="auth" authenticationSuccess="onAuthSuccess(event);" authenticationFailure="onAuthFailure(event);" />
<rtc:ConnectSessionContainer id="mySession" >
        <rtc:SharedWhiteBoard id="wb" width="100%" height="100%" />
</rtc:ConnectSessionContainer>
</mx:Panel>
Here, I open a screen1 and authenticate as UserA and when I try to open screen2 flex is considering me as another user though I am in the same application.
1) How can I use different components which are in different flex files as a same User ?
2) Should I place my <rtc:AdobeHSAuthenticator> and <rtc:ConnectSessionContainer> in the main application which calls the screen.mxml?
3) What is the best way to do it ?
Thanks for your time !

Modified Paths:
    blazeds/trunk/modules/core/src/flex/messaging/endpoints/BaseHTTPEndpoint.java

For our profect I think this issue was caused as follows:
Believing that remoting was full asynchronous we fired a 2 or 3 remote calls to the server at the same time ( within the same function ) - usually when the users goes to a new section of the app.
This seemed to trigger the duplicate http session error since according to http://blogs.adobe.com/lin/2011/05/duplication-session-error.html two remote calls arriving before a session is created will cause 2 sessions to be created.
Our current solution ( too early to say it works ) is to daisy chain the multiple calls together .
Also there seemed to be an issue where mobile apps that never quit ( thanks Apple! ) caused the error when activated after a few hours.
I guess the session expires on the server and the error above occurs on activation.
So the mobile apps now ping the server with a remote call when activated after sleeping for more than one hour.
All duplicate http errors are silently caught and reported.
Fingers crossed we won't get any more!

Same session id in two different server ?

We use the following configuration: Proxy-->Webserver-->Applicationserver.
          All servers are using WLS 5.1.
          We need to store client information in a http session in both the webserver
          AND the applicationserver ?
          How, if at all, can we do this ? Normally, if we create a session in the
          application server, it creates a new session id and makes
          the session form the webserver invalid. Can you reuse an already existing
          session id from a request (the request was forwarded from the webserver to
          the application server) to create a new session ?

HOW: To save/refresh data from different forms but in same session

Hi
I have 2 screens
Screen-1
     Tabluar form with 10 rows and each row corresponds to one edit image
Screen-2
     Forms type form with multiple text items and list items and one OK and cancel button
     If I click on OK button, whatever I enter in screen-2 is updated but till now no commit only EXIT_FORM and the screen is going back to Screen-1
In Screen-1 I have written trigger When-Wiindow-Activated, which has to refresh the screen-1 values with the changed values from above screen-2
BUT this is not happening. (I am using SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY... and EXECUTE_QUERY to refresh, by passing the query string)
Also I have one save button in Screen-2 which should commit whatever I have updated in Screen-2 (once or muyltiple times)
I am opening the Screen-2 from Screen-1 by using OPEN_FORM built in with form name and ACTIVATE,NO_SESSION and also the parameter.
Please let me know if I am doing any mistake in calling or some properties need to be set.
I assume that, as the aplication is in the same session then the newly edited record in screen2 should get reflect in screen-1, and should get saved once I click on save button in screen-1 (FORMS_DDL('COMMIT'))
regards
JC

I assume that Screen 2 is not based on table as it doesn't prompt you "Do you want to save chages" on exit.
So you probably just updating with update statement.
You will need to call POST; before exit_form in screen 2.
Post;
Exit_Form(NO_COMMIT, NO_ROLLBACK); Also in screen 1, instead of OPEN_FORM and re-query in WHEN-WINDOW-ACTIVATED, I would suggest to use call_form and re-query just after call_form:
   CALL_FORM('xxx',no_hide, no_replace, no_query_only, pl_id);
   SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY ('YOUR_BLOCK' ...
   GO_BLOCK('YOUR_BLOCK');
   EXECUTE_QUERY;

Session time out issue in Firefox 3.0 .

I am using intranet application developed in .net framework 3.5. Users are authenticated via Windows Authentication in application.
Issues in following steps;
1) I am browsing application in one Firefox 3.0 browser. Simultaneously I am browsing some different site say google.co.uk in different instance of Firefox. Please note I am browsing google.co.uk in other Firefox browser not in different tab of same browser instance in which I am browsing my intranet application.
2) Session time out in intranet application .
3) I am starting new Firefox instance and try to open intranet site. I am again getting Session time out message.
4) I closed all of Firefox browsers (2 instances)
5) Start again a new browser and try to open intranet application.
6) It is successfully opend.
Now the pain is why I need to close all other Firefox browsers in case of session time out in one browser .Similar issue I was getting in IE 8 but they have feature like Open site with a new session .
It would be nice if you can help in getting rid of this issue
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.0; WOW64; Trident/4.0; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; Media Center PC 5.0; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; InfoPath.2; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; .NET4.0C; .NET4.0E)

Hi Rohit,
If you want to increase Session time : increase time in web.xml in min
<session-config>
<session-timeout>30</session-timeout>
</session-config>
and after session time out if you want to re-login to webshop then
do following settings in XCM.
url : http://<host>:<port>/b2b/admin/xcm/init.do
goto -> General Application settings -> b2b -> b2bconfig.
For reloginurl.core: value : ../init.do
note: after session expire if your application is redirecting to https:<port>:<host>/....
Then
set SSLEnabled: as false
Restart your application
Hope this works.

Why is the New FireFox so different to the previous version?.

Prior to upgrading if I brought up my FireFox page I had a header the same as my Google Page. The new/latest FireFox Page does not have the header with the options. Those options were,Images-Videos-Maps-News-Shopping-Mail and a More option with a drop-down menu. Why is this the case?.

''Why is the New FireFox so different to the previous version?''
I'll pass pass on the "why", although the reason given would be to improve Firefox by having a page that is on your system -- but the the content is not exactly on your system. I always find it amazing that there is anyone who uses the default home page, especially when Firefox has s builtin search bar. Even a couple of my friends who think the internet is their former ISP have there former ISP's page as their their home page.
To restore a Google search page you can replace your homepage with http://www.google.com then you will see those Google applications at the top of the window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How%20to%20set%20the%20home%20page
Now that you no longer have the Firefox default home page ("about:home") you had better read item #31 in the following about picking up your previous session from your history menu.
* http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#tabslost
which is part of the following:
You can make Firefox '''Firefox 5.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.19, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 5.0, or 4.0.1, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''
