preauth and browser security

[CMuelders]

Hi,

I have the following problem using preauth:

I only works in IE6/IE/, if I lower the security settings for the specific site and I do not know which settings I have to lower in Mozilla to achieve that. Any hints?

It would help if you gave a bit more detail. How are you doing preauth, through the url method or SOAP?

I've handled an issue that sounds similar to this. We put the zimbra interface in an iframe and used the url method to call it. IE choked on it because we were calling the zimbra interface from the IP address of the server. Since that IP didn't match the domain of the web server IE doesn't like it and won't accept cookies on the iframe, thus breaking the preauth.

What worked for us was we set the DNS for the zimbra server to be on the same domain as the web server we were preauthing from. So the web server is on www.domain.com and zimbra is on mail.domain.com, this setup seems to satisfy IE and the preauth worked.

Hope that helps, if your issue is different, please provide more detail

I use the URL-method too and in fact the webserver calling the pre-auth is in another domain as the zimbra webmailer. I will try to fix that and report back.
