Description
For any IIS website installed with Statistica Server, like Web Data Entry, use of the URI, which contains a session string, can be copied from one user to another. The user whom obtains the new URL that contains the same session screen can impersonate the first user. This is a security risk. How can this be resolved?
Environment
Windows operating systems only.
Resolution
1. Open IIS Manager, go to Sites | Default Web Site | DataEntry, double-click Sessions or Session State
2. Select "Use Cookies" under Mode in Cookie Settings section
3. Click "Apply" to the right.
