BugNET

Hi there,

I have a bugnet 0.8 RC3 installation working fine and I changed the web.config file in order for cookies to be persisted for an adequate amount of time and this works fine for when I get to the homepage I get "recognized".

Whenever trying to access an issue with a direct URL (such as the link that are embedded in the notification email), however, I get a "session expired, please return to the home page" error that implicitly nullifies the usefulness of the direct link.

Is there a way to have any page capable of auto-authenticating via cookie?

Thank you.

Well, actually it works. The problem is that by default the amount of time that "remember" function has is so small it is actually useless.
I changed my web.config file to lenghten it (i.e.: the cookie lifetime) and now it works fine... but only from the home page.

Any other page goes into "session expired go to homepage" nullifying the idea of direct links such as for bugs.

:)

Fix for this is easy: pick the web.config and change this:

<forms name="BugNET" loginUrl="~/Login.aspx" />

inot this:

<forms name="BugNET" loginUrl="~/Login.aspx" timeout="40320" />

Note that timeout is in seconds so put something high in there, also note that since cookies are "sliding" by default that value is how long the cookie remains valid after the last successfull login.

Davin, think you can put this in the distribution too?

Too bad this doesn't work with any page but just the home (wonder why).

Edoardo.
