When using multi-tab browsers, users cannot log into Maximo or Manage as separate sessions in different tabs. When a user logs out or is timed out of one session, all tabs are affected,
Web applications such as Maximo and Manage do not identify separate web sessions. The browser uses cached session information saved temporarily on the user's machine (a
session cookie). When using a portal or network redirected cache, each user has a separate data cache store.
Therefore, when one tab or window logs out, the session cookie is deleted and all other tabs or windows are timed out as well.
As described in the techdoc Usage of the System Property webclient.multibrowsersupport, the multibrowsersupport property in webclient.properties, introduced for use with Internet Explorer 7, allows each tab in the browser to access Maximo or Manage with a new "state" session. The state of each tab is maintained separately while the main session remains shared across tabs. When the webclient.multibrowsersupport parameter is set to true, you can use more than one tab without logging out the other tab(s) automatically.
Notwithstanding the above, the session cookie is shared. When one browser tab or window logs out or is timed out, the session cookie is deleted. Maximo sessions in all other browser tabs or windows are immediately ended as well.
Make sure that webclient.useabsoluteimagepath is set to true in webclient.properties.
