I'm having an issue with a website. On one machine (10.6.8) it is not possible anymore to save the login cookie of a particular website. The site does not work with any user account on that Mac anymore.

This issue occurs in all browsers on that machine. On other machines or for other domains on the same machine the logins are working fine. The user's password is definitely correct as it works on other machines. The problem is that the cookie of that particular web page cannot be saved.

I tried without success:

  • Check Setting (Cookies are allowed)
  • Reset browsing data of all browsers
  • Delete ~/Library/Cookies/
  • Repair permissions
  • Reboot and reset PRAM.

Does anyone has ideas on this? Thanks.

I found the answer myself: The reason was the clients date, which was not set correctly, but to the future. Therefore the cookie was no longer valid and got deleted. I can't post this as a solution since the limitations of the forum. – Martin Jul 6 '11 at 10:02
Note that other browsers cookies are not necessarily in ~/Library/Cookies – Mark Jul 6 '11 at 10:03
