rc2 login weirdness

Im having a login problem with rc2 with a site im building.

I've created a few users that can read and add content to the site, and when i login to the user site via the usual action={"/user/login/"|ezurl}, i find that in addition to being logged in to the user site that user has also been logged into the admin site, replacing the admin user. i then have to relogin the admin user...

Im not sure if this is a setup problem (site.ini.php). Im using ports to distinguish the admin/user site.

Has anyone else seen this?

Thanks

Again, following my own mail up...

From what i've seen today both admin and user seem to be sharing the same $current_user variable. Change it on site and it changes on the site and vice versa.

It does look as if something has went wrong in the setup. However, im a bit stumped as to how to fix this. When i goto my admin site, 192.168.1.11:1141 for example, and 192.168.1.11:1140 for the user site, shouldn't they be running in different sessions?

Any help would be appreciated.

I am experiensing something quite like what you're describing om my testingsite: www.bredbandavisen.no (english). Somehow visitors are required to logon to the content module of my user site even afte logon is set to false in [site access]... Anyone got a good anwer here?

I made eZ run on www.eigersund.kommune.no, bjerkreim.kommune.no, lund.kommune.no and sokndal.kommune.no. Municipalities should use open source!

With rc2 you need to given your anonymous user explicit rights to login. Go to the roles section and add to your anonymous user the line: 'User Login *'

Hope this helps.

I face the same problem: user site requires login of anonymous visitors even after you set user-login required=false. The problem was not present in rc1. After thorough examination of ini.parameters, I am convinced there is a bug. I shall report this.

I had this... try http://developer.ez.no/forum/message/14361/ as anon users need to have login rights now.

There is still a way to restore the old behaviour of account-less sessions for anonymous users: Open your index.php-file and alter the hard-wired settings for the $Site Basics - array there:
Switch the following two parameters from "true" to "false":

$userObjectRequired = true; (Line 42 - index.php)
$sessionRequired = true; (Line 43 - index.php)

Try using two different browsers, one for the admin site and one for the user. Does this solve the problem?

This does stop the problem from occuring. If i use mozilla and konqueror, say, I can log in seperate users at the same time.

Does this suggest that the port number is somehow being ignored when a session is assigned to a user? Im not very familiar with how a session is put together for a user...

Yes the port number is not used, also some browser have problems differentiating between admin and user hostnames. We will have to do some more research to figure out how to get around this problem.
