Server security causing IE to mangle right click dialogue

And why do you use cookie based authentication? If you're trying to make a computer safe, that's one of the first settings to disable.

I run fckeditor for users that authenticate to a server based application. They are required to set a cookie and the server uses that to track their session.

When I put this filter on the server, something is wrong with the IE browser - it is almost impossible to work out what, but when I make the filesystem on the server public, IE works fine. I think the javascript calls for things like right click dialogue boxes are not sent correctly with IE and the server denies access to additional code from the file system , like IE doe not allow sending the cookie or something - just doesn't make sense to me but it is definitely happening when the server has authentication turned on...

thanks for you interest.

In IE8 there is a security setting that may block xmlrpc - thinking this is the issue.
So, workaround is add trusted site and reduce the security setting in IE. This ensures better handling of features like right-click in the fckeditor.

phew!
