This article was previously published under Q299306



SYMPTOMS
The client browser returns to my site with an &quot;f=6&quot; attached to the query string.



CAUSE
Either the Passport Manager object on your Web server is configured to be in stand-alone mode, or the Passport Login server cannot reach its own Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) pages and cannot write the ticket-granting cookie. Neither the domain authority nor the Passport Manager object will write cookies, and the user will not be signed in.



RESOLUTION
Check to see if the Passport Manager object is configured to be in stand-alone mode. If it is, turn stand-alone mode off to see if the Passport server can be reached. If the same results occur, there is a problem on the Passport network. Use the Passport Administration Utility to turn stand-alone mode off.



MORE INFORMATION
Other &quot;f=&quot; values in the query string also indicate a possible Passport network problem. For more information, see the following Microsoft Passport Web site:
