Description

Am being kicked out in the middle of editing my comments and loosing work...

Seems the session ends after about an hour or two...

Can we make this MUCH longer - say a day?

  • Priority changed from major to minor

Actually it must coincide with my moving from house to mobile broadband and back again... So sessions are locked to IPs. I do move between these regularly so my session gets lost when I do.

Hmm... Don't worry Chris, unless you have an idea to avoid this just close this one.

  • Add Hours to Ticket changed from 0.0 to 0.1
  • Status changed from new to closed
  • Total Hours changed from 0.0 to 0.1
  • Resolution set to fixed
  • Milestone set to Phase 4

I have verified that changing IP address caused one to need to click login.

So I have set:

check_auth_ip = false

See ​http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracIni#trac-section

And now it donsn't matter if your IP address changes, it's potentially slightly less secure but since we are using HTTPS it's really not an issue.
