Symptoms

You cannot use satellite:form because it is not valid to generate some "attributes" of the form tag. For instance, there is the "novalidate" attribute that you cannot set with satellite:form tag.

So when trying to set the _authkey_ parameter in the same way the satellite:form tag does.

<form name="MyForm" action="xxxxxx" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
   <INPUT TYPE='HIDDEN' NAME='_authkey_' VALUE='<%= ics.GetSSVar("_authkey_")%>'>
   <input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit"/>
</form>

The issue is that on the first request (no cookies, no session in appserver) ics.GetSSVar("_authkey_") is always null. On subsequent requests it is OK.
