Description Ken Ganong 2006-09-18 16:23:35 UTC
Resulting behaviour: every time the user hits a perl page, it redirects them to
Your Rhn, making the perl pages useless.

Why:
In some cases, the java code validates a user as already logged in, while the
perl does not. This means that when a user requests a perl page, it decides they
are not logged in and then redirects them to the Relogin page (which never
appears). The Relogin page, being in java, decides that the user is logged in
and redirects them straight to Your Rhn.

Reproduction:
1. Log in
2. Go to Channels -> Manage Software Channels
3. Log out
4. Log in as a different user.
5. You will be at the Your Rhn page erroneously
6. Go to Systems -> select a system

Actual Results:
You are taken back to the Your Rhn page

Expected Results:
on step 5, you should be at the manage software channels page
after step 6, you should be at the selected systems details page.

Additional info:
if you log out of the second user and login again as the original user,
the perl pages will work again.

Comment 3 wes hayutin 2007-01-17 20:17:54 UTC
it looks like you are supposed to be directed to yourRhn Page... so I'm not sure
what the issue is or how exactly the recreate works..


Why would two users get redirected to the same page as another user?
Returning.. need more info
