Outlook 2007 folder homepage - popups does not inherit session coo
 

Hi,

I tried to setup an Outlook 2007 folder to show a webpage by default (an url
to our ERP system). Some parts works, but when popup windows opens from that
site, session management in the web application is lost, since the popup
window doesn't inherit the session tracking cookie (JSESSIONID).

Is it possible to setup outlook so popup windows inherit cookies created on
the main webpage?

Another alternative be to fully disable cookie support in the embedded
browser, since this would cause the application server (Java/Tomcat) to
fallback to session management through URL rewriting.

Any suggestions?

Kind regards
Torben Riis

Don't expect Outlook 2007 to behave like a real web browser. It's not.
Outlook 2007 used Word to render HTML, not IE. I'm not surprised
cookies don't work.

Hi Brian,

Thank you for answering. Should I understand it, as I do not have any chance
alter any behaviour?
