  State Service, application pool and IIS7

  Jul 07, 2010 12:44 PM|LINK

  Hi all,

  we are experiencing big difficulties in the configuration of ASP.Net state service and II7. The service seems not working correctly because when the application pools recycles the applicatio loose the session.

  If we try the same configuration in IIS6 it works correcly.

  
  

  What is the correct way to configure the aspnet session state service in iis7?

  
  

  Thanks, regards.

  Stefano.

  Tanks a lot for your help talktoanil, finally I found a solutions for this problema.

  
  

  I don't know why but if you want to use the state server correctly in IIS7 you must specify a Key in the machine key section of the web config.

  <sessionState mode="StateServer"  stateNetworkTimeout="10" stateConnectionString="tcpip=loopback:42424" ></sessionState>
      
      <machineKey
   validationKey="28648A4880842F28050732A312FF1CDC2F49F66A59422EC9AF062B3135D5064177BA70CF7A4227F497ED6CAFCC91B7970B1746C07867486F43C5D661ADE57B79"
   decryptionKey="92C4163ADB1B5C6D93A0EE8D19C96544CD762DF2472A9DF547DF677AA509BF49"
   validation="SHA1"
   decryption="AES"/>

  i added this in both web apps web.config of test1 and test2 web application but session is still not shared to test2 web application

  in test1 web application i set session session["test"]="SharingSession";

  in test2 web applicaton i get session string str=session["test"].toString();
