Cookieless Session

[durban]

I am trying to make the cookieless session work, however i am running into a problem.

I am using the login by querystring param functionality.

Im not sure if i dont have it setup right or not but what i am finding is that if i have cookies turned off in my browser, i get a "cannot be redirected error page". The Custom URL is resolved to survey.aspx?s=XXXXXXXX&userguid=XXXXX, but that is where it stops. The problem i found is due to ASP.NET (i think) trying to save a session cookie in the browser. I tried making the ASP.NET session cookieless but then Checkbox doesnt work properly.

I am using version 4.2 please advise

First, let me apologize for the late reply. We had a problem with the forum for over a month that prevented thread notifications from being mailed to our support staff and we just found about it this week.

There are a few meanings to "cookieless" when using Checkbox. The first is that the user's web browser accepts no cookies, including session cookies. The application could work fine in this case.

The second case is when Checkbox is configured to be "cookieless" through the application's Settings->Application Settings screen. This simply means that Checkbox will not set a persistent cookie for anonymous respondents taking surveys. This does not affect session cookies, which are governed by the ASP.NET configuration. Again, Checkbox will work fine here.

The third case is when ASP.NET is configured to be cookieless. Checkbox does not work in this case to the URL munging that ASP.NET performs.

Do you have more specifics of the error that you received or the cooke configuration you are using?
