I've run into a situation where i need to have Safari accept 3rd party cookies across my company macs (where previously it was set to block them), and for some reason MCX settings will not seem to work.
So i humbly ask for advice here. Our new HR site is cookie crazy and if i don't set this to accept cookies, i get the "too many redirects" message.
i tried setting a defaults write command on the com.apple.WebFoundation.plist but that does not seem to work, and the syntax i tried is below:
/usr/bin/defaults write ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.WebFoundation.plist 'NSHTTPAcceptCookies' -string 'always'
only issue is, in the past Always meant to block always, and now it seems like it may mean to allow always.
I'm hoping someone has a quick script that i can push to my users, or some advice on how to get this working.
much thanks in advance
