[HELP] add content -> kicked out of user session instead

This is Alfresco 2.0 Community in a fairly new installation. No associated logs found in catalina.out.

Hi,

This sounds like your browser might not be accepting cookies.

Allow cookies for the site running Alfresco and hopefully this problem will no longer occur.

Hope this helps,

Steve

Steve,
Thank you, this helped eliminate Alfresco/CFIS as the root of the problem. Firefox worked just fine, so I went back to check on IE. I *did* set the cookie settings in "Internet Options" to the most libaral setting but still no go… I had not realized the dialog box states "in the Internet zone"; I am running an Intranet configuration… which is supposed to let all cookies through by default, hmm… So, I am doctoring the IE settings right now. Is there a site which summarizes the correct IE settings?

Hi,

With IE the easiest way to accept cookies for Alfresco is to add the site to the trusted sites list.

Hope this helps,

Steve

I believe I triggered a bug in IE when I tried that; when I enter the site as
http://alfrescohost:8080/alfresco
it is listed as
http://://alfrescohost:8080/alfresco
Still doesn't let cookies through (expected). Even worse the entry in the list of trusted sites cannot be removed from the list of trusted sites any more. Oh well… looks like MS developers tried to come up with an "intelligent" solution without getting it right.
I believe I will tackle this on the work instructions level then; when cutting over to production, I'll include installing Firefox as part of the instructions; thankfully the stakeholders involved are OK with that (many use it already) or perhaps some of the MS folks in the office come up with the solution. Thank you!
