Problems with logging in

Whenever I try to log in at either dev.bukkit or bukkit.org, It just goes through but... doesn't log me in. and the only way I can log in is clearing cookies each time.

 

You too? I have this problem, but it only happens once in a while.

 

Delete your cookies. This is cause because to keep the user logged in, it stores a cookie, wich expires in 7 days, it gets expired, it automatically logs you out. IThe problem happens, because it never delets this cookie, and it always logs you out immedialitely.

 

@mcdorli So now that we know where the problem is, can Curse fix it?

 

Hah, that was a good one, thanks.

 

Both websites are separate login systems. Are you actually seeing this issue on both dev.bukkit and bukkit.org?

 

As far as I know, both uses cookies to store data. I've never seen dev.bukkit.org login not working.

 

I already delete my cookies , and I know how they work

Yes

 

I have only seen reports in IRC about the forums.

 

Yeah I only have issues with the forums, too. No issues on DBO concerning logging in. Issues regarding password reset obviously remain (2+ years now, wooh!)

 

@ZeldoKavira DBO's fine now, idk what happened but, it's just bukkit.org that's doing this now

 

Interesting, I will look into it. Thanks!

 

Now, that I got home, I could futher examine this problem. I looked at the cookie list (open interactive console with F12 and type in document.cookie, it should print out all of them), then I found a cookie named f_user with an expiry date of 2016.05.10 (and a cookie monster cookie ). If I'm correct (and because I can't look at bukkit's PHP code there's a high chance I'm wrong), then this cookie manages the "keep logged in" feature.

I also tested, and this cookie disappears, if i login without the "keep logged in" checked.

There's obviously something happening, when this cookie expires. As i don't have a month to test it, I can only assume, some other non-expiring cookie I wasn't aware of stores, if I used the "keep logged in" feature, and PHP logs you out immedialitely, if the last cookie exists, but the first one doesn't.

 

@ZeldoKavira Any updates?
