Hi,
We have a functioning app with one problem, login works great in every browser except IE. If I log in with FF I get the variables just as I would expect them. If I log in with IE, login fails and I see cfauthentication_appname in the cookie structure instead of the session structure where it is when I use FF. Plus it's an empty string in IE and has contents when using FF. Any advice appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

BTW...There are numerous threads about this issue around and it is not just Coldfusion, I found questions, no answers, in MSDN too.

From the Application.cfc:

<cfcomponent>
<cfset this.name = "appname"> <
cfset this.sessionmanagement="True">
<cfset this.sessionTimeout = CreateTimeSpan( 0, <!--- Days. ---> 0, <!--- Hours. ---> 15, <!--- Minutes. ---> 0 <!--- Seconds. ---> )>

<cfset this.loginstorage="session">
<cfsetting requesttimeout="20" showdebugoutput="yes" enablecfoutputonly="no">
