For those looking for a fix, I have resolved my problem:
I took a few minutes to diagnose the same problems described with CI Sessions and DX Auth.
First, I synchronized both server and client time (both where wrong). Temporarily the problem subsided; however, it mysteriously stopped storing the session. So.. I checked the database and no session or login attempt was being recorded.
Second, I began reading this and other discussions and found that by removing the underscore (_) in the CI config.php file, the problem was resolved.
Original:
Code:
$config['sess_cookie_name'] = 'ci_session';
Modification:
Code:
$config['sess_cookie_name'] = 'cisession';
I no longer have a problem with sessions in IE8 on WinXP.
For those that attempt to resolve their problem using these methods, please post your results, good or bad. By the way... uber-fan of CI.
