Description Christian Stadelmann 2016-03-23 09:32:39 UTC

Description of problem:
When trying to login to bugzilla.redhat.com, I have a chance of circa 50% to get the "Access denied" message telling me that I probably have disabled cookies, which is wrong.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.4.11048.2 (instance at bugzilla.redhat.com)

How reproducible:
circa 50% of all tries

Steps to Reproduce:
1. (probably required: use firefox + tor to surf the web)
2. login to bugzilla.redhat.com
3. watch fail

Actual results:
error message "Access denied" and something with cookies

Expected results:
No error. I am logged in with a valid browser, cookies enabled and nothing wrong with my browser.

Additional info:
Possible causes:
1. bugzilla relies on me having the same IP address as long as my browser is running
2. bugzilla relies on HTTP referer

For privacy reasons using tor and disabling HTTP referer is useful. Bugzilla should try to not rely on that.

Expected result described in this report is not a priority for us and will not get resources allocated to it. If you really want this feature you might have more luck
upstream.

Thanks
