We are having links to two applications on the intranet page. And IE8 is the standard browser we use for our organisation. It is impossible to login into both application in two tabs. Here is what happens:-
1. User clicks on link of first application, it opens a new tab, and logs in. Login is successful.
2. User clicks on link of the second application, the new tab is opened, but it says "page not found."

But if I click "new session" in ie and open the second application there, it works perfectly.

After having a bit of googling I cam to know about the "Session sharing in IE8 between tabs".
First of all, I wanted to know why this is happening?
Second, I was looking for a way, in which i could tell the ie to start a new session, when I click the link. Is it possible? Or can I do something on the server side?

This is because of a change in the way IE8 works. More information is available on this post.

Second, I was looking for a way, in which I could tell IE to start a new session, when I click the link. There is one way that might work for you. Right click on the link you are using to start IE and select properties. You should see something like the text below next to 'Target'. 

"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"

Add "-nomerge" to the end of the text, so you have the following:

"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -nomerge
