Log-in expires after logging-in somewhere else

[mgran]

The cookies and the cache don't work well together after a CMS upgrade, we have an experts meeting on Friday to get to the bottom of it.

Hi

We have found some unexpected behavior with login remember cookie and we have applied a patch to fix it.

It require to clear your cookies in your web browser for developer.qt.nokia.com

Please keep observing it and update us with your experiences.

I am sorry for inconvenience but our CMS labs have changed some libraries to make it better and it is getting better day by day.

Thank you all for your great help to make it better.

First of all, that you :).

After I cleared my cookies I tried to reply to this topic (which obviously didn't work since I wasn't logged in anymore). However, on the page asking me to login the layout was all messed up and this was displayed at the top (You asked us to observe ;) :
@
{exp:seo_lite default_title="Notice | Qt DevNet forums" title_separator="|" replace_in_title="Qt Developer Network" replace_in_title_with="Index"} {embed="embeds/global_header_after_title" variable_width="yes"}

Thanks for the report loladiro, we're on it (tomorrow that is).

Congrats to the dev team. It seems to work now.

[Eddy]

Thanks and congratulations!

[mlong]

Hurrah! Thanks much!

[giesbert]

for me it also seems to wprk now, thanks a lot.

I was urged to login again today. Dunno if it was the 2 weeks expiration, but that was not the case until recently that I needed to log in every 2 weeks.

[ucomesdag]

Same here at least twice every 24hrs I need to login again, doesn't seem related to other open sessions.

[ucomesdag]

Any progress on a fix?

Doesn't look so. Today I had to re-login twice on my laptop. I suspect the different IPs due to the mobile data connection to cause this.

[andre]

Weird. It does work for me, and it has been for awhile already again.

[goetz]

I had to re-login just a few minutes ago. Surely due to a new IP address from the mobile provider.

On my home computer with a dynamic ip it happens a lot more often then at work where we have a fixed ip. But still I get logged out in both places as it seems randomly at least once or twice a day.

We're trying a few things in every release on this uncomfortable issue - but it turns out clearing the developer.qt.nokia.com cookies is the best remedy so far, while we work on a solution that is automatic.

Re-re deleting the cookies seems to do the trick, 3 days and still logged in everywhere :) \0/

The same here, including changing IP addresses several times - hooray!

[giesbert]

So, seems like the last login/logout issue are solved now?

[koahnig]

After getting rid of the cookies I am logged in at two different computers at least since my last post to this thread (Aug 13). IP addresses are changing all the time (once a day). This week I have been travel and the IPs changed for sure between hotel and customer's place. Back home I am still logged in. So no effect by changing IPs.
I guess I am logged in for more than 14 days. And this is not a complaint ;-)
