*** Important Note ****
The login procedure to the IRM.Net owners
pages requires that an authentication cookie be set. If the browser settings
do not allow the authentication cookie to be created, then it is not possible
to login. Browsers configured to block
cookies entirely are not able to login to the IRM.Net owners pages.
IRM.Net and Internet Browsers
IRM.Net does have some limitations when dealing with web browsers.
Since there are so many different browsers with so many different capabilities,
add-ons, and limitations; IRM.Net is only designed to work with and is tested
with the following Internet browsers as of Version 2.092.28:
Microsoft's Internet Explorer 7 or 8,
Mozilla's Firefox 3.x,
Safari 4, and
Chrome 2 or 3.
Safari
By default, Safari is configured to accept
cookies 'Only from sites you navigate to' (which does not include an iframe
of a different domain than the parent). So, when IRM.net is in an
iframe and the domain of the
IRM.net is different than that of the parent page
(for example www.resortdata.com and
irm.rdp.com) and Safari is configured in this way, the authentication cookie
cannot be created and it is not possible to login to the IRM.Net owners page.
To workaround this issue several options are
available:
- Configure the browser to 'Always' accept
cookies.
- Set up the
IRM.net server as a subdomain of the
marketing site (for example:
www.resortdata.com
and irm.resortdata.com)
- Provide access to IRM.Net owners via a
hyperlink rather than inside an
iframe
