153013 - bugzilla can't remember my account

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Bugzilla :: User Accounts, defect)

Description

[Kyle Yuan]

I have to re-login to bugzilla many many times a day! It's very annoying.

To reproduce:
1) login bugzilla
2) click "My Bugs" at the left-bottom of the page
in the result page, the "log in" link appears at the right-bottom of the page.

Or, run any queries once you logged in, click any item in your search result.
Then the user name disappeared from the new page.

a) you have cookies turned off

- or -

b) you are behind a rotating proxie which makes you look like you're accessing
from a different IP address every time you hit Bugzilla.

1) of course I haven't turned cookie off. other site, such as yahoo can remember
my a/c normally.

2) yes, I do access bugzilla through a HTTP proxy, but I tested my ip in
http://www.whatismyipaddress.com/, it keeps unchanged whenever I reload the page.

one more thing, I use bugzilla in different platform (Windows and Solaris) and
by different browser (IE and Mozilla) at same time, but they all have same proxy
setting.

The proxy affects the IP address only. If you use, say, four different browsers,
you also need to log in four times because the cookie storage for each of them
is separate.
