Hi Amir,
I just tried your site, and it is also not working for me in IE8/IE9.
A few guesses on what could be the problem:
(1) It could be something in your custom XMLUI Theme. If you have a
Test or Development Server, you might want to try putting up the
out-of-the-box Mirage Theme to see if that works (with the same/similar
dspace.cfg configurations as you have in Production). If the
out-of-the-box Mirage Theme works, then that may mean that something in
your custom Theme is causing the DSpace login to not work properly in
IE/Opera/Chrome, etc. Perhaps some custom Javascript which isn't
working properly in IE/Opera/Chrome? It's hard to say what exactly could
be the cause in a Theme.
If you find this is the case & find a resolution, it'd be useful to
report back what the Theme issue was (so that we can all learn from it).
(2) Did you modify any of the code underneath DSpace with regards to the
out-of-the-box Authentication/Login Plugin? Did you modify which
Authentication plugin is being used in your 'dspace.cfg' file? By
default it should read:
plugin.sequence.org.dspace.authenticate.AuthenticationMethod = \
org.dspace.authenticate.PasswordAuthentication
If you've changed this config, or changed the PasswordAuthentication
class itself, then it'd be good to know. However, if this is unchanged,
then it should work fine for all web browsers (as it does on the
demo.dspace.org site).
Maybe someone else on this list has encountered this before, and may
have some more hints or ideas?
