I created a user authenticated site with just a couple users. Under some Internet connections (like dialup), I can easily login and access the features. With other connections, especially behind our firewall, it will not authenticate.

What's happening? I am guessing it has something to do with the session vars getting lost. How can I work around this? Can I just add this to the url string? I am at a loss.

Some types of firewall will strip all cookie information etc from a connection. This is fine, but it means that unless you are using true http authentication, you will run into trouble.

If there is a likelihood that you are going to be getting users with exactly this kind of security, then sending the login information via the query string isn't going to go down very well, nor, I will add, be at all secure.

I tried another way to authenticate and that worked for me, but it is not as powerful as the DW behaviors. I wish I could better understand this process. Thanks for the information Tim.
