I upgraded TOMCAT from 7.0.11 to 7.0.16 on Friday and this problem started for us here as well.
We are using 1.7.1, XMLUI/Mirage. We only use the default DSpace login functionality. IE8 and IE9 both will just take you back to the homepage without logging you in. I have only changed the look and feel of the repository, I haven't made any other changes. -- Jake Cameron, BCS(UNB) Technical Specialist III Information Systems and Technical Services University of Lethbridge Library Phone:(403)329-2756 This e-mail, including any and all attachments, is only for the use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain information that is confidential or privileged.

I haven't yet investigated the mechanics behind this bug. It's on my list of things to look into. Perhaps the same XMLUI caching behavior with the login form is affecting the standard login? -- HARDY POTTINGER <pottinge...@umsystem.edu> University of Missouri Library Systems http://lso.umsystem.edu/~pottingerhj/ "No matter how far down the wrong road you've gone, turn back." --Turkish proverb On 7/18/11 11:16 AM, "Tim Donohue" <tdono...@duraspace.org> wrote: >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.
