Random characters being added to url in address bar (Session?)

In the address bar of my web app the pages are displayed correctly but in the address bar there is an added set of characters in the format (S(<random chars>))

Example:

http://test/(S(x0ovoq55mlxrca45gx505h45))/default.aspx

The characters change each time, but I assume it has something to do with the session. I just don't know how to get rid of it.

Any ideas?

Solution

  • Ok so worked it out. It was to do with the session. In the web.config I had sessionState cookieless attribute set to true. Setting it to false removes the random chars.

    Seems simple now I know!
