Ideally you should set the domain for the cookie to the fqdn or cookies will apply to all subdomains.

But as a workaround the link I posted earlier should work.

eek,

yes in client co, a blue chip household name by the way

all systems are hostname.domain.domain.com as is the case in the .Net world in client co's

so what's the solution ? configure ie to focus on the nth layer of the fqdn ?

Milan.

No you need to set the cookies and session variables on that nth layer of the fqdn. You could always get your infrastructure people to create cname aliases for the uat server I would be very surprised if they haven't done that already for other departments.

thanks Eek,

'No you need to set the cookies and session variables on that nth layer of the fqdn.'


I will check how I can do this.

Ta, beers r on me.

What happens if you use new session rather than new tab/window?

Internet Explorer 8 "New Session" - Softpedia

Or am I being my usual non-techy numpty self?

I hates the tabs and only ever opens up new browsers

and still the same problem

looks like we gotta switch off domain relaxation in the logon tickets

but that was implemented cos of another problem

oh well


anyway, Eek the Geek, it totally makes sense what you say, thanks,

Milan.

[milanbenes]

I'll close this thread

inform the boss and take the credit

nice way to finish the week
