230087 - constatly need to reauthenticate when working in bugzilla

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Bugzilla :: User Accounts, defect)

Description

[Jacek Radajewski]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)
Build Identifier: 

Running Bugzilla 2.6.14.  Performed minor changes to the web pages after which 
we are having problem with sessions/authentication.  I am asked to 
authenticate every time I perform an action that requires authentication.  In 
my case this is entring email/password 10 times per minute.  I had a good look 
at the changes I've made and I can't see anything obvious which would cause 
this problem.  I'm not a perl programmer, but the pages I've change do not 
really have anything to do with authentication:  I've changed:

template/en/default/index.html.tmpl
template/en/default/global/banner.html.tmpl

The only thing I'm not sure about is that I've modified locaconfig and ran 
checksetup.pl a few times after the system has been installed and data was 
entered

I have the same problem in mozzila under red hat linux

It is interesting, but another person on our team does not have this problem 
in IE on Windows XP.
