Back Button in HTMLA Administration Forms May be Problematic

• Microsoft Internet Information Services version 5.0

SYMPTOMS

When you use the HTMLA Administration Forms (Internet Services Manager HTML) in Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.0, ASP creates a session for the user.

Keeping session state on these pages may cause a problem if users allow the session to time-out (the default time-out is 20 minutes). After the user's session times-out, if they use the Back button on the browser, only a partial view of the tree used to show the Web sites appears. In most instances, the user is informed that the session has timed out (which is the proper message).

RESOLUTION

In order to avoid this issue, reconnect to the HTMLA Administration forms and try again. This will create a new session for the user.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Internet Information Services version 5.0.
