Marcher Technologies Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 if we are in acp and click update for an app why the need to login again? NO. /admin/upgrade is accessible without visiting the ACP first. NO. bad idea.... very very insecure. if apps had a separate up-grader, sure... they do not.... they use the IPB Upgrader... that would be a hazard. I personally consider it more a feature than an annoyance frankly... last thing one would want is somebody having unauthorized access to the upgrader.

Dmacleo Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 I see your point but if already logged in why can't it treat you as logged in? cookie is already there from the acp session. its just irritating to login, click button, then login again. if going the manual route you're not logged in so it should of course req a login. not advocating that being removed, my title was probably misleading there.

Marcher Technologies Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Ah, I gather your meaning now.... I think the upgrader purposely uses a completely different session though.... for similar security reasons... I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmacleo Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 it does seem that, guess I am basically asking if the sessions could be tied for convenience sake here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Management Charles Posted May 9, 2012 Management Share Posted May 9, 2012 It's a security thing. I don't think it's that inconvenient to type in your login when you only run the upgrade routines at most a few times a year :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkD FTR Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 You can't even log in to the acp if there are update files? I know on my test board if I upload the new files and go to acp it automatically takes me to the upgrader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmacleo Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 few times a year? try again LOL its about once a week on average, maybe twice, because of the apps. and before I do an update I am in acp usually before starting upload as I am doing backups or disabling stuff as needed. so your there, hit update, have to log in again, update finishes and takes you to page where you can't even go back to acp from. so you have to manually goto acp again and...yup...log in again. yeah thats not in the least bit irritating.

Marcher Technologies Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 :ph34r: would help at least... I do see his point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmacleo Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 I do the new tab for it often, sometimes I forget though so there is a little work around there. people with disabilities/injuries notice these little things a bit more...and get perturbed by them :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
