I am facing kind of similar issue. I have two domains (primary and secondary) mapped to 127.0.0.1 in the hosts file. I have web application deployed on weblogic (only one application deployed).

 

 

127.0.0.1 mysystem.comp.com

 

 

127.0.0.1 sub.mysystem.comp.com

 

 

Now I open up IE8 and go to primary domain i.e. http://mysystem.comp.com:7001/ and login successfuly. The session cookie I see in the response is

 

 

WLCookie=nYXNQQXRZp7dQdGXLy1dhylQZbtPdJFTjp9f81s5926PQyG04nPb!1416791498

 

 

Now I open another tab in the same browser window of IE8 and try to navigate to subdomain (sub.mysystem.comp.com

 

). Now the subdomain also has the cookie from primary domain. Though I try to clear it by setMaxAge(0), setPath("/"), setdomain, however this cookie does not clean out which causes the weblogic to not accept the session, returns me to the Login page on the second ie tab (subdomain).

 

 

This does not happen if instead of a tab I open up a new browser window.

 

 

This issue does not occur on firefox, chrome. Please provide a solution to this issue
