Good! But I'm finding a weird behaviour on the forums... If I enter on
the old url
http://user.services.openoffice.org/
I'm NOT redirected. If I open bot, the new and the old address and
log-in in the new, in the old one I'm still logged off
I would consider this to be normal behavior. Authentication is probably
managed through a cookie that is sent back to the originating site (the
originating subdomain) only. So user.services.openoffice.org has no way
to know that you are logged in at forum.openoffice.org, unless we
completely rewrite all URLs in the form
user.services.openoffice.org/SOMETHING to forum.openoffice.org/SOMETHING .
Not only confusing, but also problematic: if you log-in on the new
address and then click on an old link that cross reference to another
post you'll arrive to a page on which you are not logged in any
more!
If we have hardcoded links that are not rewritten (i.e., if pages on
forum.openoffice.org contain "internal" links that reference
user.services.openoffice.org explicitly), then it would be better to use
an "external" redirect as explained above.
