Session problems with multiple browser tabs into LuCI #392

Closed agners closed 7 years ago

agners commented 9 years ago

I'm using 15.05-rc1 on a Netgear WNDR3700v2. After using the web interface one day, I had issues the next day: I kept getting redirected to the login page on each action. After successful login, I'm trying to access a specific page (e.g. Network=> Interfaces), which redirects me on the login page. Explicitly loging out and log back in did not help. What helped is using a different browser (Firefox in my case) and using a complete new instance (closing Chromium completly and reopen). It seems that a long standing connection/browser session leads to session problems.

Note that I moved the laptop from Ethernet to WiFi connection, and also restarted the router. A logout is of course to be expected (after all, the IP address I'm accessing the router from changed). However, after login, the web interface should kept logged in...

Browser: Chromium on Linux, Version 42.0.2311.135 (64-bit)

@falstaff84 I get this when I have luci open in more than one tab. Apparently the auto-refresh from one tab is logging out the other. Not sure that was what was going on in your case.

agners commented 9 years ago

Ah yes, that could have been the case. And it worked while the session was valid, but as soon as it was invalid, it invalidated the just newly created session when I logged in.

However, since that could happen quite easily, that case should be handled better, imho..?

Wow, I just spent 10 minutes struggling with getting logged out at random. Totally confusing. It'd be great to see this handled more gracefully. If any window is going to to be forced to log out, it should be my old one that I've forgotten about, not the new one I'm trying to use to configure my router.

@falstaff84 You need rpcd. run: opkg update opkg install rpcd

agners commented 8 years ago

@Randy000 I do have rpcd installed, I still can reproduce the issue: Open a browser tab, log in, stay idle on the front page (don't know how long the session timeout is, I left it open for an hour or so), open a second window, and try to use the web interface... You will get logged out within seconds...

Randy000 commented 8 years ago

@falstaff84 Please make sure you have installed several other packages.You can run. opkg update opkg install liblua opkg install libuci-lua opkg install rpcd opkg install luci-lib-ip opkg install libubus-lua opkg install libiwinfo opkg install libiwinfo-lua opkg install luci-theme-bootstrap opkg install luci-app-firewall opkg install lua opkg install luci-proto-ppp opkg install luci-lib-nixio opkg install luci-base opkg install luci-mod-admin-full opkg install luci-proto-ipv6 opkg install uhttpd opkg install uhttpd-mod-ubus opkg install luci

HOSTED-POWER commented 8 years ago

Hi,

Using 15.05.1 and I have the same issue!! Very annoying. I think it has to do with cookies because using chrome incognito works ... (After a while it stops, but re-opening chrome in incognito fixes it)

Very very annoying! :(

PS: my router is a linksys-wrt1900acs

jpereira commented 8 years ago

@HOSTED-POWER Please, check the rpc service.

root@router:/# /etc/init.d/rpcd enable
root@router:/# /etc/init.d/rpcd restart
root@router:/#

Hi,

It's running as far as I can see. Not sure if the issue still exists, didn't use luci for long time now :)

oemunoz commented 7 years ago

Same here: CHAOS CALMER (15.05.1, r48532)

opkg list | grep luci luci - git-16.018.33482-3201903-1 ....

uname -a Linux oems 3.18.23 #1 Sun Jan 31 18:39:35 CET 2016 mips GNU/Linux

Restart rpcd dont work for me...

But close all browser and open it in a different one, works... I dont now why.

danielfdickinson commented 7 years ago

This appears to work properly in current LuCI trunk.

danielfdickinson commented 7 years ago

This is discussed also in #858 so marking as dupe of that; it's been solved for trunk and it's not clear that it's reasonable to fix in 15.05, however that's to be decided.

This issue seems to have popped up again in some form or other. Right now after I factory reset (through failsafe mode) on both 17.01.4 and 18.06-SNAPSHOT, I get in fine. Changing password, logging in, out, rebooting, still fine. Then I change the static IP of the OpenWRT device to what it was previously, and tadaa! Constant redirect to the login page. When it's redirecting me in Chrome, it's still working fine in Edge for example...
