Re: [rt-users] repetitive browser authentication

Hi,

late answer - it took a while until I could look into the problem again.
What I now did was cloning my rt VM and deleting 
/usr/local/share/request-tracker3.8 so all my customizations are inactive.

I still have to re-authenticate, e.g. I login, open a second tab with a ticket 
ID URL and have to login again.
Tested in Internet Explorer and Firefox.

I'm using the Debian package from http://rt.easter-eggs.org, a standard apache 
setup, my RT config looks like:

*****************************************
my $zone = "UTC";
$zone=`/bin/cat /etc/timezone`
    if -f "/etc/timezone";
chomp $zone;
Set($Timezone, $zone);

Set($rtname, 'rt.ehapa.de');
Set($Organization, 'ehapa.de');

Set($CorrespondAddress , '[email protected]');
Set($CommentAddress , '[email protected]');


Set($WebPath , "/rt");
Set($WebBaseURL , "http://rt.ehapa.de";);


my %typemap = (
    mysql   => 'mysql',
    pgsql   => 'Pg',
    sqlite3 => 'SQLite',
);

Set($DatabaseType, $typemap{mysql} || "UNKNOWN");

Set($DatabaseHost, 'localhost');
Set($DatabasePort, '');

Set($DatabaseUser , 'rt3');
Set($DatabasePassword , 'xxx');

my $dbc_dbname = 'rt3'; if ( "mysql" eq "sqlite3" ) { Set ($DatabaseName, '' . 
'/' . $dbc_dbname); } else { Set ($DatabaseName, $dbc_dbname); }

Set($RTAddressRegexp , '^help(-comment)?\@rt\.ehapa\.de$');

Set($DevelMode, '0');

Set($LogoURL, "/rt/NoAuth/images/logo_ev.jpg");
Set($LogoLinkURL, 'http://ehapa.de');
Set($LogoAltText, "");
Set($LogoImageWidth, 75);
Set($LogoImageHeight, 38);
Set($DefaultSummaryRows, 30);
Set(%GnuPG, Enable => 0);
Set($DefaultQueue, "Ehapa");
Set($MaxInlineBody, 40000);
Set($LogToSyslog    , 'debug');
***********************************



Thank you and best regards,
David

Then you're going to have to tell us more about what configuration changes or 
customizations you've made to RT, since this isn't normal observed behavior.  
Your debugging logs from RT would also be helpful, along with cookie 
information.
