I don't recall doing anything with the path ( probably just using '/' ) which I think works ok if the cookies have different names.

I do recall having some problems if the name of the domain suffix didn't match the domain name on the web server.

So I had some code that checked "where and how" the plsql was running before setting cookies ...

Something like this ...

IF ( whatever conditions ) THEN

owa_cookie.send(blah_blah.external_cookie_name,username,NULL,'/',c_Global_Domain_Qualifier); ELSE owa_cookie.send(blah_blah.external_cookie_name,username,NULL,'/',NULL);

 END IF; If will all make sense once you get it figured out.

Make sure you are doing your testing on multiple different browsers and from multiple different domains.
