The IIS 10.0 web server must use cookies to track session state.
To check compliance with IIST-SV-000134, do one of the following:
    1. Open the IIS 10.0 Manager.
    2. Click the IIS 10.0 web server name.
    3. Under
      ASP.Net
      , double-click the
      Session State
      icon.
    4. Under
      Cookie Settings
      , verify that the
      Use Cookies
      option is selected in the
      Mode
      drop-down list.
    If the
    Use Cookies
    option is not selected, your server is not compliant.
    1. Click the site name.
    2. In the
      Management
      section, click
      Configuration Editor
      .
    3. On the configuration editor, from the

      .
    4. Verify that

      is set to
      UseCookies
      .
    If the
    cookieless

    ASP.Net
