John,
Here are the things I'd suggest to look at:
- -make sure you have ssl set up for the site
- -make sure COOKIEDOMAIN in conf.php is set correctly
- -make sure the VCLAUTH cookie is actually getting set
- -use the network tab of the firebug add-on for firefox to see what redirects
you are getting
Let us know what you find. If the VCLAUTH cookie is getting set, the
redirects firebug shows would be particularly helpful to know.
