How Cookies are used for the Relogon process
When a user attempts to log on to a currently running version of WSD using the
Relogon function, the system uses cookies to create a temporary placeholder
betweeen the time the user requests the relogon and the successful validation
of the user's username/password combination. The Relogon process works as follows:
- User-1 is currently logged on to WSD
- User-2 clicks Relogon
- WSD sends the following cookie to User-2:
RelogonInProgress=Yes (persists until Forever)
- The Browser displays "Authentication Failed. Retry?"
- User-2 clicks [OK]
The Browser displays the Username/Password dialog box
- User-2 types in the appropriate values and clicks
[OK]
- WSD sends the following cookie to User-2:
RelogonInProgress=<space> (persists until Expired)
Note: the Expired
date is currently set to Dec. 1969
- The browser displays the WSD Appication Desktop
showing that User-2 is now logged on.
