When running it from my web server I get an error when I try to edit an LO saying ‘Session ID not set’. I do not get the same error when using Firefox or Chrome and obviously not with the MAXOS version as this has no authentication and therefore does not try to set a session cookie.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>It seems that telling IE 10 to allow cookies from a particular site may not be enough you also have to turn off ‘protected’ mode. An alternative method is to add the site to your ‘trusted’ zones.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>For those who prefer an illustration of the problem (and the solution) please view the attached image which shows five sessions with the same Learning Object. These are numbered 1-5 as below<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>1) (localhost) no problems (because no authentication and/or trusted?)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>2) (tcrochford) error message because 'protected mode' enabled and site is in ‘internet’/’untrusted’ zone)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>3) Firefox - no problems<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>4) Chrome - no problems<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>5) (tcrochford) disabled protected mode - no problems. Would also have worked if I made my site ‘trusted’<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I have documented this in case it causes problems in another context. I no longer have easy access to an earlier version of IE although I recently saw the problem on a University laptop at ARU when attempting to demo the new version to a colleague. I can confirm however that the problem is the same with W7; it’s not specific to W8.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Maybe we should consider giving a different error message in future versions (e.g. ‘Unable to write Session Cookie – please adjust your browser settings to allow this’) if there is a problem writing the cookie and reserve the current message for server-based errors.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'>Kindest Regards,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'>Thomas<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:red;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'>==========================================================<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'>Thomas Rochford | e-Learning Advisor | Jisc RSC Eastern<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'>Tel: 01223 564749 | Mobile: 07500 669002 | Skype: cambridge.serendipity<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'>Email: <a href="mailto:thomas.rochford@jiscadvance.ac.uk"><span style='color:blue'>thomas.rochford@jiscadvance.ac.uk</span></a> | Web: <a href="http://www.jiscrsc.ac.uk/eastern"><span style='color:blue'>http://www.jiscrsc.ac.uk/eastern</span></a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'>Cambridge Serendipity, 35 Gough Way, Cambridge, CB3 9LN<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB'>For the full range of RSC UK events, resources and blog, visit <a href="http://www.jiscrsc.ac.uk/"><span style='color:blue'>http://www.jiscrsc.ac.uk</span></a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
