I have a Domino Extranet site that is running on 6.5 and uses session based logins. I have several users across many locations that are experiencing spontaneous logouts from the system. The expiration settings are not set to log anyone out of the system. Is anyone else experiencing this or have a solution?
I have read other posts that are blaming this problem on malformed cookies. I do not think that is my issue.
I have been able to track down the cause of the web logouts. I am using some JavaScript that creates cookies to track various things in the web application. If a user is very active, the JavaScript may generate over 20 cookies. Unfortunately, Internet Explorer can only handle 20 cookies from a single site. Therefore, it starts to delete the oldest cookie as it adds new cookies. The oldest cookie is the DomAuthSessId. Since this cookie is used by session-based access to domino the users are effectively logged out when the cookie is no longer available.
I am rewriting my JavaScript to delete my old cookies when they are no longer needed. Hopefully this will help someone else.
