Hi Richard

I received this which details more about the error - hopefully this
helps.

Hi Craig,

I have been looking at the traffic sent /received by the different
browsers and there is definitely something different. The part of the
error messages I sent you that looked interesting to me was the missing
variables sesskey and related. When I sniff the traffic from firefox I
can see values are being passed like this:

        'sesskey' : 'X0tK2ydq86GFeD31',\n
        'wwwroot': 'http://myportfolio.school.nz/',\n
        'loggedin': 1,\n
        'userid': 86392\n

However in internet explorer I see the following:

        'sesskey' : '',\n
        'wwwroot': 'http://myportfolio.school.nz/',\n
        'loggedin': 0,\n
        'userid': 0\n
Which obviously causes the error I mentioned in the previous email.

When I work backwards from here I can see internet explorer is doing something different with the negotiation
 

Vs firefox which works fine


I see also on the line a couple previous: Proxy-Authorization

IE            Proxy-Authorization: Negotiate TlRMTVNTUAABAAAAl4II4gAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGAbEdAAAADw==\r\n
Firefox [truncated] Proxy-Authorization: Negotiate TlRMTVNTUAADAAAAGAAYAHwAAABsAWwBlAAAAAgACABYAAAABgAGAGAAAAAWABYAZgAAABAAEAAAAgAAFYKI4gYBsR0AAAAP/ZhgsHJQtT0KV6EYzqDS6VMAVABBAEMAQgBSAFUASQBDAFQARQBOAEcAUwAtAEIAUgBVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

So the IE version looks to have lost a big chunk of the key which might
cause the failure of the negotiation and disrupt the passing of the
missing values?

And the line up one again relating to the cookie

IE            [truncated] Cookie:
__utma=61070256.1103620605.1331598478.1335130693.1335134134.19;

Firefox Cookie:
__utma=61070256.537807588.1331781713.1334873344.1334876335.26;

classes.stac.school.nz|utmccn=(referral)|utmcmd=referral|utmcct=/;
mahara=8599e900b0b1153b139a7b5aa5de4aa5\r\n

I have cleared the cookies in IE but doesn’t make a difference, I
suspect the line with the proxy-authorization is the problem though I
don’t know why this would happen.

Title:
  MNET error in IE9

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  This was reported by a myportfolio administrator (v1.5)

  we have a small issue when transferring from moodle through to myportfolio.
  For me the issue only appears for me on a PC with internet explorer 9 but works fine with chrome and firefox.

  When I try to click on the myportfolio link in moodle I get an error
  page like this

  Sorry could not log tou in


  Looking at the source of this error page I can see this

  {"namedfieldempty":"The required field \"%s\" is
  empty","processing":"Processing","unknownerror":"An unknown error

  Sam McNeill has also been having trouble with the same link though he
  is on a mac and sees an error on chrome, safari and firefox. His error
  page looks different but has a similar error in the source for the
  error page

  Site unavailable

  Would you have any ideas on where these errors might be coming from and how we might resolve them?
