Hi folks, if I open a connection to the server from firefox browser, and then I open a new tab within the same instance of browser to make a connection to the server, is it considered one session to server or considered as two diff sessions?

Thanks

It's the same session (you can easily test this out yourself).

It seems to be the same session. However, if I use diff user to login, both seems to be categorized under same session? Is this the correct behaviour?

surely it depends on what you're logging in to and what authentication mechanism it uses?

we use LDAP authentication, but it's a J2EE application running on Weblogic. I tested it IE, no problem (it's two diff sessions). I did test on cross browser (IE and Firefox), it's no problem as well. But when I use firefox to connect to server using two diff userid, the session is the same. why?
A: 

If you click a link on the current session to open it up in a new tab, then it'sthe same session. If you just open up a blank window and log in again, then, to the best of my knowledge,it's a new session.

But when I did the test on firefox, it identifies as the same session regardless the way we open the browser tab. Any idea? Thanks
