[rt-users] Auto-logout problem with IE

[Tom Lichti]

OS: 2000, XP
Browser: IE 5.5,6
Server: Redhat 8, Apache 1.3.27, mod_perl 1.27, rt 2.0.15, MySQL 3.23.53a, 
HTML:Mason 1.1.15, Perl 5.8.0

Problem: Using IE, a user can login successfully, but if they click on any 
link, it automatically logs them out and takes them to the login page. If 
you login again, it will take you to the page you requested previously. 
This works fine with the Phoenix browser (Mozilla branch), not sure of any 
others. I have played with the caching, cookie, etc. parameters under 
internet options, but it hasn't made a difference. It also seems to be 
related to how many users access the browser. For some people who are the 
only ones to use the terminal, it works ok (on my laptop, which was just 
installed with XP last week, and I am the only user, it does not work) and 
on systems that are shared, it never works.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Also, where is session data stored, in 
the cookie? I don't see any tables that could be holding it. Or is it a 
variable that is passed between pages? Or is it in the URL? At a quick 
glance, I don't see it in the URL.

Thanks in advance.
