Hi folks!

A couple of days ago, I came across an interesting phenomenon and i would like to report it now:

If visitors come through multiple web-proxies (the requests are made once via proxy-a, once over proxy-b) and want to reach a mapbender GUI it is not guaranteed that $_SESSION['mb_user_ip'] will be always equal to $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']. Therefore, because in the mb_validateSession.php there is a check against these variables whether they are equal or not, sometimes it can happen that the login form appears for these users. In bigger companies where there are more proxy servers it can happen that once a web-request is made over proxy-a and once over proxy-b.

Best regards,
wEZO
