problem with siteaccess / vhost / ie6

Monday 29 December 2003 6:53:09 am

hi,

i have a very strange problem. I installed successfully ez 3.3 on my linux webserver. (Apache 1.3.28, PHP 4.3.3, Mysql 4.0.15 ).
Every things works fine with IE/Netscape :)

After this I change in settings/override/site.ini.append.php
the matchorder to host.

Now i can't login to the admin with Internet Explorer 6 :( , but Netscape 7 has no problems :) . It's the same if I press Login without typing anything to login/password. The page /user/login reloaded.

Security Settings from IE are correct.

hmm, verry strange.

My config files :
->/settings/override/site.ini.append.php
[Session]
SessionNameHandler=custom

[SiteSettings]
DefaultAccess=intranet
SiteList[]
SiteList[]=intranet

[SiteAccessSettings]
CheckValidity=false
AvailableSiteAccessList[]
AvailableSiteAccessList[]=intranet
AvailableSiteAccessList[]=intranet_admin
MatchOrder=host
HostMatchType=map
HostMatchMapItems[]
HostMatchMapItems[]=intranet.testserver.local;intranet
HostMatchMapItems[]=intranet_admin.testserver.local;intranet_admin

[MailSettings]
Transport=sendmail
*/ ?>

-> httpd.conf :
.....

hello tim,

thanks for your answer, but that is what I checked first. It's not the problem.

using "uri" mode ,the ie6 has no problems.

I have the EXACT same problem changing uri to host mode. ez version is 3.2.3
mozilla/konqueror works fine, but IE6 just flashes the login screen.

SOLVED: IE6 does not support hostnames with underscore charaters (_)

IE6 does not return the cookie to ez when logging.
Why m$ has stopped underscore support in IE6 is beyond me (what does the http standard say?)

This works fine when you remove the underscores, i.e.
Change:
HostMatchMapItems[]=intranet_admin.testserver.local;intranet_admin
to something like:
HostMatchMapItems[]=admin.intranet.testserver.local;intranet_admin
