PROBLEM
STATEMENT:
Session storage Information
isn’t transferring between tabs on windows mobile IE browser
Why
Session Storage Are Used (Advantages and Pit Falls)
DOM Storage (Session/Local)
is useful because no other good browser-only methods exist for persisting
reasonable amounts of data for any period of time. Browser cookies have limited capacity and provide no support for
organizing persisted data, and other methods require an external plugin.
However Session storage do have some pit falls. Object (sessionStorage) that maintains a storage area that's available for
the duration of the page session. A page session lasts for as long as the
browser is open and survives over page reloads and restores. Opening a page in
a new tab or window will cause a new session to be initiated.
HOW
IT WORKS AND WHERE IS THE ISSUE:
Above diagram explains how session objects are
used for an authenticated user & why users are having an unauthenticated
flow when they are trying to access pages in a new tab.
IMPORTANT
NOTE:
This is a browser security feature and isn’t a
defect/issue
