We have a site set up and the original administrator accounts (and now any user accounts we create with administrator role) get prompted to login every single time they try and edit any module.

After they enter their login, it takes them to the edit page, but it's becoming really annoying. What happened, and why is it on just this one portal?

This sounds like a cookie problem.  I would try to use something like Fiddler or HTTPWatch to see the traffic going back and forth and ensure that cookies are in fact getting correctly created on login.

I had this problem once as as Joe mentioned it was a cookie problem.  In my case it was a few corrupted cookies on my machine, I simply cleared my cookies on my PC and all was well.

It gets weirder...

Cleared cookies and did all of that to no avail... but narrowed it down to happening just on the first tab/page of the site. Other pages in the site are fine. If we create a new page, it's fine, and login sticks on the new page. But if we copy or even export and then import the page content to a new test page, the test page will start exhibiting the same behavior.

So I was thinking maybe as a long shot it has to do with something within a module -- So, I deleted all the modules from the test page. Still kicks out of login on every edit.

Any ideas as to why this one 'infected' page would do this?

More info... this is baffling me.

I emptied the recycle bin on the portal just in case the deleted modules were causing some kind of issue.

I can go into the Users table and change IsSuperUser to True for any user account in the portal with this issue and immediately they can go and edit anything and their login sticks properly.

Then when I change IsSuperUser back to false, the account works properly. The host menu disappears, etc, and the account is able to edit anything without being prompted for a login.

So, I log in as a host and under Host Settings, restart the application. The account now gets prompted to login at every edit, again.

Checked tab permissions on the Settings page and in the DB tables. Looks normal (All users View, and Administrators View and Edit).

Any ideas welcome...
