Here is an example of a CookieDomain config we used before purchasing an SSL
cert for one of our clients:

CookieDomain .caseetc.com .reliant-solutions.com

It goes in your catalog.cfg.  However you may need more then this please

Don't freak out, all it takes is some patience and the ability to search
developer.akopia.com and the mailing list.  This question gets asked about
once a month and is answered the same way.  Thanks.
