Issue/Introduction

Description:

Mac Safari appears to have an issue with some versions of Siteminder 6.0.5. At times while other browsers will work normally, the Safari browser produces a redirect error.

Solution:

One possible workaround is implement server side cookies on the webserver.

The issue is usually related to the number of places the customer has set in their cookiedomainscopes.

This can be implemented by setting the Agent Configuration Object equal to the following:

CookieDomain=NONE

This setting tells the agent to ignore the cookiedomainscope value.
