Hi Adrian, Sorry - I should have been clearer: the parallel with your situation is that it's a tomcat produced error, indicating that access to the IdP servlet is being denied. If you do google for tomcat "HTTP Status 408 - The time allowed for the login process has been exceeded" you'll find several similar posts about tomcat and other products which use tomcat. Another example (with input from a tomcat developer) is http://archives.devshed.com/forums/java-118/when-does-408-happen-1619437.html. Again, this is using 30 mins + between login and access. It's to do with the JSESSIN cookie lifetime used to associate the login credentials with a tomcat session, apparently, so if that's not being set in IE, you'd see the behaviour you describe, I think.
