I have web application ( liferay based ) logged in to Firefox also I have another legacy application which runs only on IE. Is there any way I can redirect user from Firefox to IE after logging in to firefox, providing link to redirect user to IE in same session without asking for login to application in IE.

  • Not that I know of. A session is related to a client and a different browser means a different client. Also, you can't open specific programs in the client machine. You can only point to a document the client decides which program to use to open it with. – Marc Compte May 03 '16 at 10:59

    you should check this thread : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1946976/how-can-i-redirect-to-ie-from-other-browsers – Sagar R May 03 '16 at 11:04
  • thanks @MarcCompte I have read about localstorage instead of session storage. Would that represent a security threat ..? – ravipachar May 03 '16 at 12:39
  • thanks @SagarR for reference – ravipachar May 03 '16 at 12:40
  • @ravipachar : does it help you ? – Sagar R May 03 '16 at 12:41
  • @SagarR as per thread I should make application compatible with all browser or force user to use only IE. This stands true & last option as well. But I'm just exploring other ways If I can get any reliable & secure way of doing this. – ravipachar May 03 '16 at 12:45

No , session is browser specific, so two different browsers cannot have the same session.
