Description Pavel Stehlik 2013-07-24 14:17:25 UTC

Description of problem:
 Once language on Welcome page (WP)is chosen, it should be set also for webadmin. Currently those languages are stored in wrong cookie. WP uses path uses ' /ovirt-engine/', and webadmin uses '/webadmin'.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ovirt-engine-3.3.0-0.3.beta1.fc19.noarch

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install engine, show WP  https://fqdn/
2. choose 'fr_FR' lang.
3. open Webadmin.
4. close browser window/tab, open https://fqdn/ again
5. this time change lang to 'en_US' 
6. open webadmin again - 'fr_FR' still set.


Actual results:


Expected results:
Language in webadmin should be inherited from WP.

Alex - is this something that http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/16359/ fixed? or is this problem irrelevant?

Comment 2 Alexander Wels 2013-07-31 18:04:33 UTC

No that did not get fixed by http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/16359/ As it is not something I am sure we can fix. The welcome page and webadmin/userportal all different web applications and I am not sure if they have access to each others cookies.

If you use the links in the welcome page, the locale is passed as a parameters and that will cause the cookies to match, however if you change the locale in webadmin, it will not affect the locale in the welcome page or the locale in user portal.

Comment 3 Alexander Wels 2013-08-01 15:49:04 UTC

Let me rephrase the answer I gave.

If it was the following scenario, then http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/16359/ did fix it.

1. Go to the welcome page, and select a different language for instance French.
2. Use the links in the welcome page to go to the webadmin login page.
3. Go back to the welcome page, and select English/US as the language.
4. Use the links in the welcome page to go to the webadmin login page. This now still shows French.

The patch fixed that issue. However if the scenario is:
1. Go to the welcome page, and select a different language for instance French.
2. Use the links in the welcome page to go to the webadmin login page.
3. Go back to the welcome page, and select English/US as the language.
4. Use a bookmark to go to the webadmin login page. This now still shows French.

This particular issue was not fixed by the above patch. A different patch has been submitted to fix this issue.

as RC is built, moving to ON_QA (hopefully did not catch incorrect bugs when doing this)

Comment 5 Itamar Heim 2013-09-23 07:32:50 UTC

closing as this should be in 3.3 (doing so in bulk, so may be incorrect)
