Description Marian Mirilovic 2009-12-02 10:18:14 UTC
This has to be recent regression:
- go to bug page :
https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=162955
-> log in
- open another bug
https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=162955
-> you are logged-of ... after pushing "Log In" link in the header you are forwarded to https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=162956&GoAheadAndLogIn=1

Very annoying and decreases significantly effectiveness, not speaking about broken workflow.

... using Ubuntu 9.04/FireFox 3.5.5
Comment 1 Marco Walther 2009-12-02 11:01:11 UTC
I can not reproduce that:-( Ubuntu 9.10 Konqueror 4.3.2/FF 3.5.5 on SWAN.

Could it be, that you get bitten by the `Restrict to this IP' checkbox? That would happen iff BZ sees you coming from different proxies/NAT-devices??

Right now, I can't do much more without more info:-(
Comment 2 Jesse Glick 2009-12-02 11:59:55 UTC
Sounds similar to bug #177472 perhaps?
Comment 3 Marian Mirilovic 2009-12-03 02:38:38 UTC
Still reproducible .... (from SWAN)

Marco, what info you are waiting for ?
Comment 4 leawang 2009-12-03 22:46:42 UTC
Marain, I cannot reproduce this either from SWAN using Firefox 3 on Mac.

Does anyone else in the Prague office run into this?
Comment 5 Marian Mirilovic 2009-12-04 01:59:10 UTC
Ok, so step by step :
- go to http://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=123456
- log in
- go to http://netbeans.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_id=177520,131957
- now you are logged of
- click Log In
- suddenly without logging in(means typing name/passwd) - you are Logged In

100% reproducible ....
Comment 6 Petr Blaha 2009-12-04 02:01:41 UTC
The issue is reproducible at my laptop as well.
Comment 7 Jan Horvath 2009-12-04 09:23:08 UTC
I can reproduce it as well w/ clear cache and cookies in FF 3.0.14 and Safari 4.0.4
Comment 8 Jiri Kovalsky 2009-12-04 14:29:20 UTC
I have seen this too in Ubuntu 9.10 and Mozilla Firefox.
Comment 9 leawang 2009-12-04 14:39:25 UTC
Downgrade to P2 since there is workaround for this issue.

1) Use https URLs by changing to https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_id=177520,131957 in teh 2nd link in comments #5. It does not prompt for 2nd login

2) First login via http://netbeans.org/community/index.html at http://netbeans.org/people/login?original_uri=%2Fcommunity%2Findex.html first, then access any BZ links (w/ or w/o https), it won't prompt 2nd login.

Please advise above workarounds work for you or not.  

We have an improvement filed to force BZ login to to to http://netbeans.org/people/login by default, so this problem will be resolved w/o workarounds.
Comment 10 Marco Walther 2009-12-04 20:36:02 UTC
That was actually a design-decision of BZ. The login cookie was originally restricted to secure (https) connections. And it seems the BZ always worked that way.

It should not work as you want @ tnb. And hopefully with the next deployment, it will go to nb.org as well.
Comment 11 Martin Fousek 2009-12-06 23:58:46 UTC
After discussion with Marco, package with the fix for this issue is already deployed for tnb.org. I checked it with these steps without any issue:
- link https://testnetbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=123456
- sign in
- http://testnetbeans.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_id=177520,131957
-> still logged in
