I’m using an ASP Classic app that makes use of session state. It’s got quite a few pages. I’m slowly migrating to .NET, with an ETA of about six months.
Is it worth changing over the classic asp to use a custom DB session for an implementation of that time frame? Or should I just migrate so features are separate between the apps and no session is shared?
Thanks!
In the past, I’ve transitioned by maintaining two apps, and passing authenication information between the two at the database layer. When the user requests access to the new ASP.Net app, write an entry into a table with guid(s) and a datetime, then redirect to an authentication page, which checks the table for the corresponding row, which is only valid for a certain length of time (30s), and has a one time use.
If the row exists, grants logged in access under the same username.
