We are trying to integrate a third party product. We have given a link to access the third party product from our product. When the user clicks on the link, we are forwarding the request to the application, which is running on the same servlet container(Tomcat) as our application. We found that this whole application works smoothly if we browse it through Netscape or Firefox. But when browsed through IE, the session is getting overwritten and starts asking the user to relogin as the session has expired(only for the third party product). if we set the privacy in IE(Tools-->Intenet Options -->Privacy --> bring it to low), the product is holding on to sessions properly and works smoothly. I am curious to know, is there a way to set this privacy options in Internet Explorer to Low programatically either thourgh JSP/javascript, etc.

No, I certainly hope not... The cookies setting is under *user* control, and IE has enough security problems already.

You should issue the cookie from the server where it is used. This will avoid the "block third-party cookies" setting on IE.
