Thought I would weigh in with my experiences. I have posted on this before with no resolution. I am running DNN version 4.4.1 with multiple portals and have encountered this problem of being logged off even as admin or host. I can recreate the problem consistently -- here is what happens

I have a site for sport teams - ie: baseball has 4 leagues each with 7 teams. I have a sidemenu with that hierarchy. I can be sure to be logged off if I start with the first team go to that team page then click on the second team etc. By the time I get to the 7th team page, I get logged off.  All page are identical, running the following modules:

1. module wrapper

2. links

3. core events module (latest)

4. magicnews

5. banner

6. ventrian photo album

Could this be a cookie size issue? I do not have any containers with min/max. All cache sizes are set to 0. My portal is running compression but not white space filtering. So far this is the best thread on this issue but still no solid answers. Is anyone running modules similar to mine -- maybe we can narrow it down.

regards

Hi teambound,

Yes, the scenario you described would make the cookie grow as you visit each team if they are in the same domain. 
The cookie is only unique down to the domain name, so everytime you access a different portal the information stored would "add up" in the same cookie.

Probably looking at different problems: I don't do anything with any module. If the first action of this sub-portal admin after login is to add a new page, I'm logged out or I get the message "you do not have sufficient rights to view that page/module (I forgot which).

 

Note that users with the same username are in fact the same user across portals. My impression is that a user who is admin in a sub-portal but not registered in the parent portal is less likely to have proper rights. When I register a user in the parent portal, then register that user in the child portal, then give that user admin rights in the child, it seems that that user isn't logged out when adding a page.

Thanks for the reply John

Given the behavior and the random nature, I suspect it is something like the cookie size. So having said that, is there a way around this?  Can a module like the events module be causing this? I have the events module on every team page, so by navigating to 7 pages that have that module could that be adding something to the cookie. I know that is a question for the module developer :)

I just installed an http monitor to see if I can determine the cookie size and number of cookies ( I think the limit is 20 custom cookies) --
