CAS ask me for authentication everytime

[Scott Battaglia]

In IE, I believe if you open a new window (by doing File->New Window) 
that shares the session information. However, I believe opening a new 
window via "Start->Internet Explorer" may not share the session information.

I believe that's what I saw in my testing but its been awhile so I may 
be remembering it wrong :-)
