This article was previously published under Q226996 SYMPTOMS If the Content Advisor setting is enabled on client
computers, servers that do not have a content rating may fail to redirect
cookies when server redirection is used.
When non-rated sites use
cookies and server redirection to authenticate users or determine which pages
to load, users may not be authenticated correctly, or they may be redirected to
the wrong location.
RESOLUTION There are three ways to work around this problem:
- Use the Internet Services Manager to apply a Recreational
Software Advisory Council (RSAC) rating to the site at the server. This does not work when you download an active document (.doc file or PDF) with Content Advisor enabled.
- Change the site architecture so that it does not use a
cookie to persist state.
- Disable Content Advisor on the client computers.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft
products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
