Hi All

Ive written a portal mobile portal in vb.net that I want to secure to only authenticated users. I am having great difficulty doing this, as when I test in the nokia wap simulator 4.0 (most of the users will have nokia browsers) I cant seem to store any state.

When I authenticate the user, NMB 4.0 doesnt reflect the persisted information. THe web config file is set to not use cookies and the state is persisted if I test it with a an actual nokia 6230(GPRS), the open wave simulator and also normal IE browser. Any Help is appreciated.

(details of the authentication Im using is below):

Dim username As String = "RyanMalone"
FormsAuthentication.Initialize()
Dim strRole As String = AssignRoles(username)

'The AddMinutes determines how long the user will be logged in after leaving
'the site if he doesn't log off.
Dim fat As FormsAuthenticationTicket = New FormsAuthenticationTicket(1, _
username.ToString, DateTime.Now, _
DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(1), False, strRole, _
FormsAuthentication.FormsCookiePath)
Response.Cookies.Add(New HttpCookie(FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName, _
FormsAuthentication.Encrypt(fat)))
Session("Telco") = "Optus"

If it works in the cell phone, openwave simulator and IE, probably the
problem is NMB 4.0
Do you have nokia's gateway installed?? That’s also a problem!!!

As soon as I started developing mobile application with ASP.NET I dropped
NMB 4.0 out of my simulators list because it doesn't support a lot of
features the actual phones support.

One big example is Responde.Redirect. In the NMB 4.0 it generates an error
when I use it, but in the actual phones it works just fine.

That’s my advice; drop NMB and stick to openwave (test applications on OW
4.1 and OW 6.2 for greater compatibility) and Microsoft Mobile Explorer 3.0,
whatever works in those will work like a charm in the actual phones.

Good Luck!!!!
