I's running into a strange IE 6 problem at a customer site. After entering
the login information on an https screen and clicking the login button, IE is
redirected to a non-secure page, but this fails and it goes back to the login
screen as though nothing had happened. There are no errors presented on the
re-displayed login screen as would be the case if the login information were
incorrect (per tech support for the website). Firefox 1.5 is able to login
every time, on the same machine, apparently because it properly parses the
redirection and displays the first non-secure page.
Hijackthis shows no third party BHOs, but I tried disabling 3rd party
browser extensions just to make sure. I also cleared all IE temp files,
cookies, objects and cleared the SSL state and passwords/autocomplete. Also
tried lowering the Internet security settings to low.
The machine is running xp pro and had been running sp1, so the first thing I
tried was to upgrade to sp2 and download all updates, to no avail. A repair
reinstall of xp also failed to cure it.
The only verison of java is the MS VM 5.00.3810, and Firefox would also be
using this, if java is involved.
Any ideas on what the problem/fix would be?
