I have a problem where for some unreproducible reason one user will logout of the site, but when they go to log back in they are logged in as a user that is logged in from another computer. At first I thought this was because we still had the drupal logout link, but after some more testing to try to get it to occur it seems it happens with the Caslogout link also? I wish I could give you steps to reproduce, but it hasn't been easy to reproduce it.

Is it possible, that the PHP session cookies are not configured correctly? I've run into problems where with default php.ini settings user logins are kept event when browsers are closed. I've had to add some stuff to settings.php. Otherwise, without a path to reproduce, it will be difficult to fix.

I'll try to reproduce reliably, but the odd thing is this happens between users that are on 2 different computers. Not even the same computer.

Thanks for the response.

Which version of phpCAS are you using? There are some changes in the session handling with phpCAS 1.0.0.

I was using 0.5.1. I was afraid to upgrade to 1.0 because of the number of issues reported here and on the phpCAS mailing list. So maybe I'll try upgrading to 1.0.1

I doubt 1.0.1 will work. I still need to spend some time working on the changes for 1.0.

So far in testing 1.0.1 hasn't presented any problems. Haven't really tested it against my problem though. Is there something specific I should watch out for?

No everyone else who had troubles with 1.0 didn't get it to ork at is if I recall correctly.

Status: Active » Closed (fixed)

Changing to closed as there's been no activity for a long time. Looks like it was a phpCAS version issue.
