Re: cookies with internet explorer on macs

One thing to check is the time zone that you have set on the server and the client machines. I remembering reading about cookie duration issues before, but I forget exactly where the problem was. There is a link between IE and Entourage/Outlook Express on the Mac. One thing I see as a problem is that quitting out of IE does not release the "session" cookies if Entourage or Outlook Express is open. You have to quit both program to clear session cookies. I haven't actually tested this in the very latest versions, but it worked this way under OS9. On Monday, March 31, 2003, at 11:53 PM, Lowell Allen wrote:

A designer I work with was having problems with his sessions sometimes expiring after a few minutes. He uses OS X/Internet Explorer/Entourage. He determined that whenever he checks his email with Entourage, his session cookie is no longer recognized. He got Microsoft support to duplicate and acknowledge the problem. I use Mac OS 9/Internet Explorer/Outlook Express -- no problem. -- Brent Baisley Systems Architect Landover Associates, Inc.
