Title: forum software: cannot login after automatically being logged out (on timeout)
Post by: opnnewbie on March 26, 2022, 06:54:18 PM
First and foremost: I am posting here because I didn't find a more suitable forum section.

OK the first time I login via https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?action=login

But, after a while when I was automatically logged-out after n seconds (60 is the default) and I attempt to login once again I get the URL with the previous/current session ID; eg: https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?PHPSESSID=t2hlaskhlfu54aq3dbq40ijso8&action=login

After entering my credentials once again I was redirected to where I was the last time but I am not logged-in. The menu shows the Login option instead of the Logout and obviously, I cannot post/reply etc.

If I select login in the menu once again I get the same URL with the session ID value attached.

If I manually remove the session ID; eg: https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?action=login

... the login is successful.

Not a great deal, but exasperating when you attempt to use the forum for a successive batch of post/replies.

Yes. I know. I can bookmark https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?action=login in my favorites and done.

But I think it should not be the case.

Try https://forum.opnsense.org in incognito mode and then see what happens.
