Hi Richard, How do you log in and to what? What do you mean with it doesn't work? That Tomcat creates a new session?
I tried what you did: Accessed some webapp in FF and pasted the URL including jsessionid in IE - got the same session. I don't think Tomcat cares about anything else than the jsessionid in the URL or the session cookie. Maybe it is the authentication mechanism that does something with the session?

Dear All, When passing a jsessionid on the URL such as... http://foo.com;jsessionid=123 ...does Tomcat do something clever, like checking the User-Agent, before agreeing to hook into the existing '123' session? If I log in using, say, Firefox and note the jsessionid, then open a new Firefox and paste in a URL like the one above it works as expected. But if I open IE and paste the same URL it doesn't work? Does the URL rewriting check the User Agent? Can I turn this off?
