Multiple users same browser asp identity

问题:

We have an application which has two user types. One of them is an administrator and the other one is a client. We are using AspNet identity to authenticate the user and issue a cookie. However, there is a scenario where the administrator and the user share the same browser. When the client logs in, the cookie gets overridden and when coming back to the administrator pages we lose authentication. The same happens the other way around (client is logged in first, then admin). Is there a way to support multiple authenticated users at the same time on the same browser? Greetings. Luis.

No, the browser has no understanding of any users. You set cookies and the browser sends back those cookies. The application then receives and checks those cookies to figure out the current user on the next request;

There's no way for the browser to know what cookies it should send back and there's no way for your server to know what the right user is other than reading those cookies. Why do you want 2 different user types sharing the same exact browser window anyway? That defeats the entire security model.

If 2 people must share the same device, then most browsers today support private windows or separate 'profiles' so you can have completely separate preferences and sessions without sharing any data. Here's a link to Chrome's profiles feature: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/2364824
