Hi

Is cookie encryption synchronisation necessary betwwen two load-balanced
MCMS web server (not clustered !) ?
The MCMS sites are set up as read-only, enabling anonymous access?

for this configuration, is mcms entreprise edition necessary, and why (for
which functionnality)?

Thanks !

Hi,

it is necessary to synchronize the MCMS encryption key (using managekey.exe)
and the ASP.NET machine keys (see here:

are the authentication cookies generated in a readonly / anonymous site?

Hi Dref,

the cookies are only generated if forms authentication is used.
Not for integrated authentication and not for guest.

But be aware that the machine keys are also used to encrypt the viewstate.
So you need to synchonize these keys in always.

Cheers,
Stefan
