I meant in the final sentence "...I can *now* authenticate...". Sorry for the

Summary: Cannot authenticate to Savannah using Safari on OS X
Original Submission: Resubmitting as requested at
http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=8932
---
Perhaps you should close bug submissions at Savannah.gnu.org and redirect users
to Gna!?

Original Submission: I can no longer authenticate to Savannah.(non)GNU.org
with Safari 1.2.1 on OS X 10.3.3 (i.e., the most up-to-date version of browser
and OS as of 13 May 2004).
I enter my username and password and, regardless of which buttons are pressed
on the login page (i.e., stay in SSL, remember me, and co-login to the sister
site), it looks like I am authenticated, a redirect to /my is attempted, then
it pops me back to the login page.
Mozilla 1.6 on the same machine authenticates fine, thus this is a problem
particular to Safari.

I am redirected properly to /my then I am instantly redirected to
/account/login.php?return_to=%2Fmy%2F which returns me to the login screen.
I see no cookies at all referring to .gnu.org. I see one cookie for
.nognu.org. Note the initial dot in this name. I see several for
savannah.gnu.org and savannah.nongnu.org. They are named session_hash,
SV_THEME (both show on both domains), and SV_THEME_ROTATE_NUMERIC and
SV_THEME_ROTATE (nongnu.org only).
I tried removing the lone .nongnu.org cookie and authenticating, but that
resulted in no new behavior. I then removed all cookies relating to these
domains. After removing all cookies I was able to authenticate again and get
to /my correctly. After authenticating to both gnu.org and nongnu.org
simultaneously I see only a single cookie now for ".gnu.org" (a session_hash).
Thus, I am now able to authenticate and use the existing savannah sites
properly with Safari and the problem was definitely cookie-related.
I tried logging out and reauthenticating using a variety of security settings
enabled to using the SafariEnhancer, but none of those tweaks had any effect.
Meaning, once I got rid of old (?) cookies I can no authenticate in any way I
want (both domains, stay in SSL, etc.) using Safari.

What we need to determine now is whether this is a bug in Savane or in Safari.
As you are redirected to /my, the authentication worked right. Can you check
what cookies do you have for the domain?
