Log-in expires after logging-in somewhere else

ucomesdag

After logging-in on devnet at work makes me have to login back at home each time an visa verse.
Didn't happen before, anybody else with the same issue (just in case before submitting a bug)?

Indeed yes I have noticed this the last few days too.

koahnig

Yes, I have noticed as well. However, was not sure, if the "feature" is meant to work this way.

Yes, I noticed that I have to re-login now and then!

I've mentioned this on IRC and Marius and gang are looking into it.

May be it is relateted to cookies and sessions. But please mind that we should think for security as well to usability :)

Thank you for reporting this

I am on it, I will get as soon as possible on this.

ZapB

Yay! Gurudutt the bug squasher is on it! ;-)

This issue is almost fixed and under observation at the moment.

Login session should be 2 weeks long now, if your session expires in less than 14 days please let me know.

ZapB

Cool. Thanks Gurudutt. I'll keep an eye on it.

Gurudutt,

just for clarification. Is it possible to be logged in at 2 PC at the same time?

I guess the whole discussion started that people had to log in alternating at work and at home. Assuming that the other PC is not running, this will result not in simultaneous logins at QtDev.

However, I have a laptop and my desktop side by side. I have log into devnat at the laptop without a problem presumably because the desktop was in energy saving mode. When going back to the desktop, I was not logged in anymore. However, the laptop is still running. So this would be 2 simultaneous logins.

Yes

I'm usually logged in with 2-4 browsers at any given time, this issue is probably due to a change in timeout settings when we upgraded the base CMS. Gurudutt has deployed a fix to the live servers so please keep an eye out.

Hi,

Here is my observation.

I visited devnet about 3 hours ago. I'm sure I selected "keep me logged in for 2 weeks" and yet , 3 hours later I have to type in again my password on the same system.

Something has changed the last couple of days since I didn't have to log in as much before. hope this helps.

Hi,

similar for me. I was logged in last day evening at work, with the check box set, came home to my other PC (work was shut down) and logged in there.
Today back in work, I had to log in again :-(

mgran

Yep, I got the same this morning, we will do some more checking.

For me its a different problem, in Google Crome it does not log-in automatically. I opens log-in page with username and password shown and I need to press "Login" every time.

Is it some problem / feature of Crome ???

On every single page? (should not happen) Or per browser session? (this is the bug we are working on fixing now)
