ASP Session Lost When Redirecting from HTTP to HTTPS (Windows Server 2008)
If your ASP session is being lost when redirecting from a non-secure http:// page to a secure
https:// page on Windows Server 2008, it’s likely due to IIS session settings.
To resolve this issue in IIS:
- Open Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager
- Select your website from the list
- Double-click ASP in the IIS section
- Expand Services → Session Properties
- Set Session State to
True - Set New ID on Secure Connection to
False - Click Apply and save changes
This ensures the session ID remains consistent across protocol changes, preventing session loss during redirects.
