Forms Authentication "Forgetting" a User

[Chris Magoun]

Greetings,

We have an ASP.NET application that implements forms-based authentication.
The login portion seems to work fine. However, I have one developer who when
running the application, it seems to forget him at some specific point (not
a timeout) and he has to re-login. This does not happen for everyone, just
this one developer.

The point at which the authentication seems to fail is a page on which we
have an OWC PivotTable going and getting data from the network. Once he
opens that page, anything else he does requires a new login.

Has anyone run into something like this? I can give more detail, if need be,
but just wanted to see if there have been other "random logoffs" with forms
authentication. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Ahh, I have narrowed the problem a little bit -- it in fact seems to be the
OWC PivotTable component. If we comment out the code that connects the pivot
table to the external data, the logout does not occur.
