1: Safari Users cannot enter the site

For some reason safari users cannot enter our installation. Anyone having a similar experience? I use standard dotlrn 2.3.0. The credentials entered are all right. But the user cannot go beyond the login page.

We have a similar problem at UNED, based on cookies, due to different domains authorization.

Just in case: we ask an external entity for user authentication, and if login is correct, we got a cookie with a valid *.uned.es domain. Safari 2 admits only one subdomain level, so we can use whatever.uned.es, but no, anything.whatever.uned.es domain.

But Safari 3 (at least in Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard) seems to be working now.

BTW: Have you tried with Opera?

Opera: no

Here we have a general problem with Safari on OSX. We only use one sublevel domain: dotlrn.uni-mannheim.de

Is there a way to fix that cookie problem?

I also have Safari 3 users who cannot enter the site.
