Logon Status not retained in IE9

Post by Alan Rich » Fri Jun 08, 2012 11:52 am

Using AC 7.07.

My header pages display a "Welcome back, <firstname>" message after a user has logged in, and simply "Welcome" when they are annonymous.

Now, an annonymous user requests a page held in the members area, so they are redirected to logon first, then they see the page fine. The page header shows their firstname in the welcome string. Now, as soon as they leave the SSL members area, the logon status is no longer known, and the header simply says "welcome". Kinda like it's not retaining the Viewstate, but if they go back to a member page (or any page requiring SSL) the page header shows their name again, which tells me the logon status is known, but only while viewing SSL delivered pages.

This behavior has only been observed in IE9 in both native and compatability modes. When viewed with Firefox (or IE7,IE8), the user's logon status is remembered correctly while moving in and out of SSL and non-SSL delevered pages.

Am I missing something in my IE 9 settings? I've looked but cannot see anything that looks unusual, and I sure don't want to have to ask visitors to adjust their settings in order to use my site. Thanks for any suggestions!
