SYMPTOMS
When Microsoft Commerce Server 2002 Component AuthManager calls the IsAuthenticated method, AuthManager issues cookies although it is configured to operate in URL mode (cookieless operation mode).



CAUSE
This problem occurs because AuthManager always tries to delete the MSCSAuth cookie when the authentication ticket has expired, although the MSCSAuth cookie is encoded in the URL.
