When using WIF, the client is able to set the persistentCookiesOnPassiveRedirects
which by default is false. Here is the provided definition:
persistentCookiesOnPassiveRedirects: Specifies whether persistent cookies are issued when the module is enabled to initiate WS-Federation passive protocol redirects. A persistent cookie will outlast user sessions.
OK that sounds clear, but I still do not get it and changing the value between true/fasle does not seem to make any difference. Does it have anything to do about pulling up another site in a separate browser that trusts the same STS provider and making it so the user does not have to log in again?
I suppose an example of a site and STS working together would be really helpful to explain exactly what this setting does. Thanks!
