I'm receiving reports from IE users that sometimes they experience the same 
"login form reset" issue as explained here:

http://jasig.github.io/cas/4.0.0/installation/Troubleshooting-Guide.html#login-form-clearing-credentials-on-submission

I was able to confirm this when running CAS (3.5.2.1) locally on my machine.  
About 50% of the time, logins work in IE, and 50% of the time they don't, and 
the form just resets.

So I modified my web.xml session-timeout to be -1 (indefinite) to test (the 
recommended solution in the link above), and that didn't work.

I then started tracking the difference between browser cookies for both 
successful and failed authentications.  When IE works (roughly 50% of the 
time), I have the following cookies:

Direction              Key                        Value                         
                                                           Expires              
                                   Domain Path       Secure  HTTP only

However, when IE doesn't work (again, roughly 50% of the time), I will only see 
something like:

Direction              Key                        Value

                                   Domain Path       Secure  HTTP only

Does this mean anything to anyone?  What would cause the CASTGC, TLTUID and 
CASPRIVACY cookies to not be set sometimes, and why would this only be specific 
to IE?  This behavior does not happen with Chrome, FF or Safari.

What's the fix?

Thanks!
