SSL on cart changes Session.ID...Help!!!

[ombina]

Hello,

How do I prevent redirect page from changing SessionID value? My cart is SessionID dependent.

Thanks,

Ricky

I'm not sure, but as a workaround, you could redirect w/ the sessionid in the querystring. I.e. Response.Redirect("

https://www.someone.com/basket.asp?sessionid="&

Session.SessionID)

And then on the pages using the session id value, do something like this.

If LCase(Request.ServerVariables("HTTPS&quot) = "off" Then
vSession = Session.SessionID
Else
vSession = Request.QueryString("sessionid&quot
End If

Then when you do your logic, refer to vSession instead of Session.SessionID

Thanks baddos,

One more question, where can I find out more of how to use SSL properly. Meaning, I am building a shopping and what should be sent to SSL, only pages like Checkout page, Member Info, etc?

Right now my problem is that I have a share SSL and when I redirect a page from non to a secure page, it gives me a different session id. Do yo think I need a dedicated cert. to make it stay with same session id?


Thanks,

Ricky

You definately need a dedicated cert, since the domain name and the name of the ssl key won't match. I would try just to ssl the user entry pages since ssl is a lot slower than regular http.
