| Summary | 0010080: Anonymous enabled won't let users login | ||||
| Description | I have created an account named "Anonymous" and have let viewers submit bugs to my project. The only problem is once an admin/user logs out, there is no way to log back in, because it always defaults to the Anonymous user account. | ||||

So I guess you put in your config file something like: $g_allow_anonymous_login = ON; So, what's the value of: $g_anonymous_account ? |
|
|
oh, and to be clear: activating the anonymous feature is supposed let your visitors go straight to "logged in" state with the defined user. As a side effect, if you actually log in with that very same user, the system would notice it is the anonymous one and switch the interface to the anonymous mode. Of course, this is true just for that single user. All the other ones are unaffected. |

Config: I can't use the login/logout because it just redirects me back to the Anonymous page without asking for my password (My username is "Administrator") |
|
|
that's weird... can you try deleting your cookies and/or with another browser? |
|
|
Confirmed in Internet Explorer as well (I use Firefox). Clicking "Logout" has no effect, and login.php redirects me back to my_view_page.php |
|
|
I'm really confused here (sorry...). I'd try redoing the procedure from scratch: disable anon logins on config, that would let you login again, then create two new users, give one "administrator" rights and the other "viewer" rights. Then reactivate anonymous logins using the viewer account and retry |

Thanks, that seemed to work. |
|
|
ok. then I assume this is nothing to fix on our side (apart maybe the documentation ;) ) thank you. |
