SessionID is still the same after Session.Abandon call

asp.net sessionid

I'm writing some logging code that is based on SessionID...

However, when I log out (calling Session.Abandon), and log in once again, SessionID is still the same. Basically every browser on my PC has it's own session id "attached", and it won't change for some reason :/

Any ideas what is going on?

My Session config looks like this:

    <sessionState
       mode="InProc"
       timeout="1" />

Thanks, Paweł

Check this article which explains the process on session.abandon

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/899918

Taken from above link -

"When you abandon a session, the session ID cookie is not removed from the browser of the user. Therefore, as soon as the session has been abandoned, any new requests to the same application will use the same session ID but will have a new session state instance"
