Re: Session cookies on Linux
Guten Tag Martin, thanks again - still no luck though :( I had a look at catalina.policy (can't find java.policy) and there seems to be nothing wrong, plus Tomcat is not started in secure mode so these shouldn't be used, or not?

Because of our servers setup, all cookies were treated as third party after the initial response by the firewall and thus eliminated. I could bite my own a... for spending so much time on such a stupid mistake - but I never thought the firewall would be filtering cookies without ever telling me :( Going home now, Jan Martin Gainty [EMAIL PROTECTED] schrieb am 12.12.2005 20:22:47: Guten Tag Jan- did you find any restrictions in java.policy file?
