[bug] Multiple login support does not work

[GregSutcliffe]

As openDias is a webapp, I should be able to log in from multiple places. But here's what actually happens:

[to reproduce]
Navigate to opendias on computer 1
Log in with correct user/password (which succeeds)
Navigate to opendias on computer 2
Log in with correct user/password (fails silently)

[what should happen]
I should be allowed to log in. I'm not too bothered if the older session is invalidated, as I've obviously changed locations or something. Note this is definitely not a case of wrong-password, as that correctly pops up a box saying "wrong user/pass". This happily accepts my input, but doesn;t actually log me in.

[current workaround]
I managed to reset my session by logging in to the opendias box and restarting the service. This raises a secondary question about whether user sessions should survive a process reboot ;)

I've tested this out but am unable to replicate it.
What happens on the second login machine? You said fails silently, but how does the problem manifest itself?
Any chance of some logs (in verbose mode) of the first followed by the second login attempt?

The session management was specifically designed not to survive a reboot (it's all kept in memory). Since I'd not expect openDias to be restarted often I would have though this was OK. Do you think this is something that needs addressing?

The result on the second machine is that you are kicked back to the not-logged-in version of the homepage. You don't get a message like "incorrect password" so I think it tries to login and then drops back out. I'll try to gather some logs over the weekend.

Session management is fine in-memory, so long as that's deliberate. I was merely posting my workaround in case others hit the issue.
