The old Internet-Explorers forgets a session-cookie if there the page is 
left for which this cookie coming from.
Other browsers forget them only if the browser is closed.

If  our Shibboleth-secured directory IDP is accessed shibboleth makes a 
redirct to some identity-provider-webserver useing a differnt domain.
For this domain the session-cookie is not valid. So old IEs wild forget 
it.
Shibbolet makes a redirect back to your ../IDP/login.jsp 
For this page the session-cookie would be valid again, but the IE had 
already forgot it.

I don't have IE9 handy but will try to get it installed for testing 
purposes. Could you please share your assumption?
 
Thanks

I have an assumption. 
Could you test it with IE9? 
If it works with IE9, my assumption is probably true.

Hi all, 
 
We are trying to modify the default login.jsp that comes packaged with 
IDP. During our customization we added some JavaScript code. The JS code 
reads and writes values to an Adobe flash object (Local Shared Object) on 
the client side. 
 
When IDP is deployed on machine running Tomcat 6.0 the page works fine in 
Firefox and Chrome. In Internet Explorer the page/javascript functions do 
not behave as expected. 
The strange part is that when I move my JSP to a different folder in the 
webapps directory, meaning outside the idp's context, it then works in all 
browsers. 
 
The following URL does not work in Internet Explorer but works in Firefox 
and Chrome. 
Tomcat6.0\webapps\IDP\login.jsp 
 
Now if I move the JSP to another location in webapps the JSP works fine in 
all browsers. 
Tomcat6.0\webapps\test\login.jsp 
 
Browser versions part of my development are 
Internet Explorer 8 
Firefox 5 
Chrome 13 
 
I am really perplexed as to what the problem is. Just as a shot in the 
dark, is there some browser specific filtering done in IDP? 
 
Thanks
