session tracking : jsessionid

[africa4you]

Hi,

We make use of an eternal payment provider in a similar
manner to how PayPal works. In fact the PayPal code formed the basis of
our integration, so thank you to those who contributed.

I do
unfortunately have a session problem I dont really understand. With
OFBiz deployed on my laptop and configured to point to the payment
provider I am able to redirect to the payment provider who inturn can
successfully redirect back to me and my current session. See http
headers below :

Local Laptop ---> Session handling works fine

However
on our staging server the same code base does not handle the session
tracking at all. Not totally understanding session tracking I am
finding this a bit difficult to get to the bottom of, any help would be
appreciated. Below are the http headers from the staging server, for me
the most noteable difference  is that the JSESSIONID is missing from
the cookie during the out going request??
