Session cookies on Linux
Hi list,
I have a problem with session cookies on a Linux server. Both Tomcat
instances running on the machine don't seem to be able to store session
data in cookies. They otherwise work just fine, just no cookies. I have
obviously checked all browser settings as well as made sure that all
webapps in question have the cookie flag turned on. However, Tomcat is
still not setting any cookies...
My set-up:
- Suse Linux server (kernel 2.6.8-24.18-smp)
- Multiprocessor machine with 4 GB memory
- Sun VM 1.4.2_08-b03
- 2 Tomcat 5.0.28 instances
Maybe this is a problem with fileset permission's? Tomcat runs as user
tomcat and I think I checked each dir Tomcat needs to write into but I am
not sure where cookies are normally stored in. Is this the temp dir or
somewhere else?
I would be very grateful for any help or suggestions as to what to do to
get this fixed.
TIA, Jan
Jan Behrens

Guten Tag Martin,
thanks again - still no luck though :( I had a look at catalina.policy
(can't find java.policy) and there seems to be nothing wrong, plus Tomcat
is not started in secure mode so these shouldn't be used, or not?
Thanks, Jan

Antwort: Re: Antwort: Re: Session cookies on Linux
Posted by Jan Behrens <Ja...@offis.de>.
Answering my own post, here is what drove me nuts; we have a firewall
configured on each machine (preconfigured and installed by our admins)
which does not only monitor connections but also _silently_ blocks third
party cookies by default. Because of our servers setup, all cookies were
treated as third party after the initial response by the firewall and thus
eliminated. I could bite my own a... for spending so much time on such a
stupid mistake - but I never thought the firewall would be filtering
cookies without ever telling me :(

Antwort: Re: Session cookies on Linux
Posted by Jan Behrens <Ja...@offis.de>.
Hi Martin,
thanks for the shot ;) Unfortunately this is not the problem, Tomcat has
r&w access to these dirs and successfully writes to them. It's just not
handling the session ID via cookies, but then again I am not sure whether
this is realy related to the dir question or maybe something else...
Thanks anyway, Jan

Re: Session cookies on Linux

This is a shot in the dark but does the sym linked folder have write
permission ?
assume that tomcat is installed to /usr/local/tomcat..e.g.
chmod +w /usr/local/tomcat
Anyone else?

Re: Session cookies on Linux
Posted by Jan Behrens <Ja...@offis.de>.
Anyone?
I am still stuck on this, I admit that our machine's setup is a bit
'special' as it has to IPs with a server instance bound to each. But
everything else works fine, except for this stupid cookie problem. Can
someone clarify whether using symlinks within the Tomcat install directory
is ok? We are using a couple, for /temp and /work amongst others. Because
the work dir is used by Tomcat just fine however, I beliebe this should be
ok.
Any help on this is very much appreciated.
TIA, Jan

Re: Session cookies on Linux
Posted by Jan Behrens <Ja...@offis.de>.
Thanks for the input Peter. What I see now is even more confusing to me;
- Tomcat sets a cookie containing a session id X
- On the request however, the URL gets rewritten using session id Y (and X
!= Y)
All subsequent requests made are handled via URL rewriting using session
id Y. I can see this behaviour both on my own app as well as on the admin
app... I am at a loss as to what to do next :(
Any ideas? TIA, Jan
