Hello there,

All of a sudden, perhaps since a week ago, I have been having trouble logging in my account and posting to the forum from IE. From Firefox and Safari no problem, but when I login from IE it redirects me to the forum page like I didn't login at all.

..IE is letting me down from all points of view lately..! Without mentioning all the troubles it's giving me while developping my projects, mainly related to pages' layout...

Hi!

I think I know partly why, earlier this week auth.ez.no was changed to use ".ez.no" as session cookie domain name to make some functionality work again after login was moved from ez.no to auth.ez.no.

This seems to trigger something in IE related to it's cookie handling, just found this page:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ieinternals/archive/2009/08/20/wininet-ie-cookie-internals-faq.aspx

EDIT: Looks like IE login have been broken since login was moved to auth.ez.no, anyone that can confirm that?

In worst case we're struck by IE's xx.yy cookie issue, not sure if it has been fixed or not (some page mentiones that it was fixed in IE6 sp1, but this page is more recent and does not mentione anything about that):

Also several pages suggest that we have to use P3P:

Suggestions?

@André : did you mean IE8 sp1 ?

No, IE6 sp1: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310676

But just reproduced in IE9 on Windows 7.

Seems like ez.no needs to be added to list of known valid xx.yy domains just like vg.no is to be able to get this to work in IE8 and up. (if your on IE8+ see bottom of res://urlmon.dll/ietldlist.xml)
For earlier IE version we need to either move login back to ez.no or stop using domain wide cookies.
