Yes, fix your error. This has nothing to do with Shibboleth, if it's not
sending the cookie back, you'll need to trace your flows and identify what
hostname problem or virtual hosting issue is causing the cookie to be
assigned but not returned. This isn't the client's issue unless they have
a proxy in the way that's causing issues.

You can't. I answered originally too quickly, there is no way to do what
you asked, and it isn't needed. It will not solve your problem.
