Ryan Malone via .NET 247 (VIP) Hi All Ive written a portal mobile portal in vb.net that I want to secure to only authenticated users. I am having great difficulty doing this, as when I test in the nokia wap simulator 4.0 (most of the users will have nokia browsers) I cant seem to store any state. When I authenticate the user, NMB 4.0 doesnt reflect the persisted information. THe web config file is set to not use cookies and the state is persisted if I test it with a an actual nokia 6230(GPRS), the open wave simulator and also normal IE browser. Any Help is appreciated. (details of the authentication Im using is below): Dim username As String = "RyanMalone" FormsAuthentication.Initialize() Dim strRole As String = AssignRoles(username) 'The AddMinutes determines how long the user will be logged in after leaving 'the site if he doesn't log off. Dim fat As FormsAuthenticationTicket = New FormsAuthenticationTicket(1, _ username.ToString, DateTime.Now, _ DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(1), False, strRole, _ FormsAuthentication.FormsCookiePath) Response.Cookies.Add(New HttpCookie(FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName, _ FormsAuthentication.Encrypt(fat))) Session("Telco") = "Optus" -------------------------------- From: Ryan Malone ----------------------- Posted by a user from .NET 247 (http://www.dotnet247.com/) <Id>rJSLDtvi1kCRe1M/yFme9g==</Id> Reply to this message...        JuanDG (VIP) If it works in the cell phone, openwave simulator and IE, probably the problem is NMB 4.0 Do you have nokia's gateway installed?? That’s also a problem!!! As soon as I started developing mobile application with ASP.NET I dropped NMB 4.0 out of my simulators list because it doesn't support a lot of features the actual phones support. One big example is Responde.Redirect. In the NMB 4.0 it generates an error when I use it, but in the actual phones it works just fine. That’s my advice; drop NMB and stick to openwave (test applications on OW 4.1 and OW 6.2 for greater compatibility) and Microsoft Mobile Explorer 3.0, whatever works in those will work like a charm in the actual phones.
