Unexpected and inconsistent login requirement for any actions in FLAT #154

Closed luutuntin closed 5 years ago

luutuntin commented 5 years ago

Hi Maarten,

Recently, whenever I deploy a new instance of FLAT (e.g. _http://alexluu.csbrandeis.org/flat_latest_) on my sandbox server, I frequently encounter this weird behavior from that FLAT instance. For example, here is the interface after the login:

login_required_01

When I click the folder link 'luutuntin/', I receive inconsistent results: the next page can be the normal one (i.e. _http://alexluu.csbrandeis.org/flat_latest/index/luutuntin) or the one requiring another login (i.e. http://alexluu.csbrandeis.org/flat_latest/login/?next=/flat_latest/index/luutuntin_):

login_required_03

And whenever I want to "Upload document" or "Add new directory", I will be routed to _http://alexluu.csbrandeis.org/flat_latest/login/?next=/flat_latest/addnamespace/ or http://alexluu.csbrandeis.org/flat_latest/login/?next=/flat_latest/upload/_ respectively, and therefore cannot upload or add anything.

As I have both consistent and inconsistent instances of FLAT on my sandbox server, I suspect the root cause of this problem may come from my sandbox server but I haven't seen any clues yet. Do you have any ideas about this?

Best, Alex

Now I use another computer to open the problematic instance of FLAT and everything is OK. So the problem is probably caused by some cached data behind the web browser in which I open multiple instances of FLAT.

So I assume the issue is solved and was a cache problem? It indeed didn't seem familiar to me.

Yes, the issue only happens when I log in to both instances of FLAT using the same browser. Thank you.
