Hi,
If someone can give me even a clue, a reference or any idea this will be very helpful:
For each dnn version i'm preparing the Hebrew version.
I have to make some minor code change in the file container.vb (just adding property to the class).
Then i recomile dotnetnuke.dll assembly.

In every server, on multiple hosts, the logged in user "looses its session",
thats means every minute the user is transfered to login page.
thats happen on almost every operation.

Any idea how to track that problem?
What might cause this? I'm not expecting direct answers, any way or idea
to monitor that problem may be helpful.

Thanks.

This normally occurs when you login under different accounts, but I've had many complaints from users who cannot stay logged in, or their session times out after they've written a long post. Very annoying. I don't know why this issue has not been addressed by the DNN core...

The temp fix is for them to clear their cookies, or just the cookies under the your domain. Obviously, if you have many portals under the same domain, you'll have this more often.

Any idea on why this isn't being worked on?

Can you supply some more details i.e. version of dnn, framework etc, so we can determine your issue (ideally you should log this at the public issuetracker http://support.dotnetnuke.com/project/Project.aspx?PROJID=23

With regards to random logouts, I fixed 1 main cause of this that was exhibited by the 2.0 version of the framework (more @ http://support.dotnetnuke.com/issue/ViewIssue.aspx?p=1&id=3013), this fix is in the 3.3/4.3 (and the soon to be released 3.31/4.31 stabilisation release).

Another common reason for logouts is a breaking change that Microsoft introduced in asp.net 2.0, where persistent cookies get expired more quickly. I blogged about this @ http://dotnetnuke.com/Community/Blogs/tabid/825/EntryID/233/Default.aspx , if this is the case, increase the timeout in your web.config.

Hi Cathal thanks for the response --

The "cookie" or "remember me" issue has always been a problem on every portal I've installed since version 3.0. I've tracked it down to the DNN security pages as it does not seem to log users in properly when the cookie flag is used (I've run into this problem before, but it was so long ago I'd need to dig into it to figure it out again).

However, I was always told that the cookies have been corrupted and they need deleted to resolve this. That was the last official word from the DNN team, and my bug tracker submission was deleted.

None of your 2.0 help has anything to do with this bug, but Microsoft's change does add to the problem.

I just found the tracking issue and no one responded. Let me know if anyone needs more info. My impression is that "getting logged out" is so common on the internet, no one thinks it's a bug, when in fact this can be fixed...
