However, as with most server-side scripts, a "session" cookie is usually stored on a clients computer so the server can track what the user is doing. In ASP, the default length for a session is 20 minutes; I don't know about JSP, nor the configuration of the scripts that PF1 uses, but perhaps the error lies here. Note that in some forums, if you do not use auto-login, you can specify the length of your session before it is timed out (Hotmail can do this too). The other issue this person is having, I suspect, would be the use of a redirect function. When you go to the login page, it keeps a referrer, so it knows what page you came from. Upon logging in, it redirects you back to that page for a matter of convenience. If, however, you go straight to /login.jsp and login, it will only reload the login page (the user having been logged in successfully, of course). Someone could play around with referrals from external sites if they felt naughty, just to see what would happen... |
