Configure IE8 to accept cookies with a bad SSL certificate
Posted: Fri Jul 10, 2009 4:05 pm
I am trying to get my authorization sessions to work with Zend Framework. My configuration s latest XAMPP package with SSL Virtual Host enabled. But the problem is - I enabled SSL VHost not for the localhost but for a subdomain (something.localhost). Yeah, I know, XAMPP has a cert only valid for localhost so all browsers warn me about the security problem. Still Firefox works fine and I can test how my website is working with SSL.
But IE8 does not work as expected. I installed Internet Explorer Developer Toolbar and found out that there are simply no any cookies accepted for my subdomain - nor session nor others. Tried to allow cookies in Privacy settings - still nothing. I scratched my head and reconfigured Apache to use SSL for localhost domain. As XAMPPs cert is valid for localhost, this time IE8 accepted cookies.
I really have used to use subdomain for testing. Is there any way to allow IE8 to accept unsecured cookies just for development purpose?
Thanks for any ideas.
