Hi,

I'm setting a cookie for an Admin System in the following way: print "Set-Cookie: northlands=staff&$fr{username}-$zones; PATH=/; domain=.domain.com\n\n";
And then reading it with $ENV{HTTP_COOKIES}.

On most systems it works just fine, but on some Windows XP PCs using IE, the cookie won't be set unless lots of security settings are changed. Is there any fix to this? Or maybe use some other type of authentication form (sessions? -never used these before-)? Something that can be migrated to easily.

Thanks,
Ralph
