I've got a problem with cookies failing.

Here's the setup-
A staging server, RedHat Linux, with php 4.3
Main server, FreeBSD, also php 4.3

Running identical Apache setups and Identical php setups.

The staging server is only accessible behind our local firewall and does not run https. The Main server runs https and users are transferred to https while logging in.

For almost all users, the authentication works just fine. Two variables are set as cookie values and checked out, so it works great. However we've had report of some users not being able to log in. I haven't tracked down the problem, but the behaviour they're describing describes the cookies not being set.

I was able to reproduce this behavior on a version of the Konqueror web browser. It could log into our staging server, but not our main server. I thought, "maybe it's a problem with the secure login," so I made a non-secure login. Still didn't work. I created a separate cookie value, only for checking if cookies were being set properly. It was set and transferred without any problems, but the other two values were non existant when I checked out the cookie management list.

The user i heard from was running IE6, which works in every situation I could check, He opened up all of his security settings to allow everything, and it still didn't work.

What kind of things should I be checking out? I'm at a loss for what else to try at this point.

Thanks-
Thaddeus Quintin
