SYMPTOMS
========

Passport user ticket data is never refreshed.

CAUSE
=====

If the code on your Passport pages passes 0 (zero) as a TimeWindow parameter and
False for the ForceLogin parameter, the IsAuthenticated method behaves the same
as the HasTicket property. The IsAuthenticated method of the Passport Manager
object always returns True regardless of Ticket age as long as valid Ticket data
of any age exists in the calling domain. This is especially likely to happen
while your site is still in test mode, because cookies that are set into your
domain in test mode are not deleted by the normal sign-out process until you get
a valid Site ID.
