Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted June 6, 201014 yr Often times, when I'm up to my hind end in gators and snakes, I tend to have several things going on at once, including multiple logins to the ACP. Unfortunately, this isn't possible with 3.1 unless there's a setting someplace that I'm missing. Please, for those of us that multi-task like crazy, multiple logins to the ACP is a must.
June 6, 201014 yr Check your security settings. You might have the option on that prevents more than one session at a time.
June 6, 201014 yr Author Grrrr. It was the Match user's IP Address during session validation setting. Had it on, which disallowed multiple ACP sessions.
June 6, 201014 yr Isn't this now a "lowered" overall security to the entirety of the forum? I am not sure what exactly session validation includes, but if it was included in the first place I assume that there have been problems/attacks that exploit session to which you might now be vulnerable?
June 6, 201014 yr Author It's a trade off. And with mod_security running at the server level, one I'm willing to make.
June 6, 201014 yr Yah, I'm not sure entirely why you'd favour having multiple open sessions as the same user rather than multiple tabs in one browser. But no matter. As you can tell, the function you're asking for is already there :)
June 6, 201014 yr Author This was with multiple tabs. Soon as I'd open another tab and log into the ACP, the first tab would log me out. Multiple instances doesn't necessarily mean with two browser windows. ;)
June 6, 201014 yr You know, I've never seen that happen. Wha browser was that? I know with IE if you used "new tab" it opened the new tab in the same process with shared session...
June 6, 201014 yr Try using an option to DUPLICATE the tab. When you open a new tab and then sign in, it creates a new session ID because the session ID isn't stored in a cookie, it's stored in the URL.
