Web interface session issue

[tievolu]

I have 1.5.9 installed on two v1.10 WR1043ND routers, one as my main router and one as a bridge/repeater.

Everything's working ok so far, but I noticed something odd when administering both units simultaneously - I only seem to be be able to log in one unit at a time. If I have two tabs open, one for each unit, every time I access a page in one, then go to do something in the other, I need to login again. Then if I go back to the other tab I need to login to that one again, etc. etc.. The web login session length setting makes no difference. It's not a huge problem, but it was pretty irritating when setting them both up.

For the last few years I had a similar setup based on the Tomato firmware and I never saw this behaviour - I could be logged into both units at the same time. Is this by design, or is it a bug?

Could be the way Gargoyle is setting the session cookies.

Try to configure via 2 different browsers or use 2 windows (not tabs)

It's fine if I use two different browsers (I tested with Firefox and IE). The problem still occurs when using two browser windows of the same type (i.e. two FF windows or two IE windows).

So I agree - it looks like there's a problem with the way the session cookies are constructed.
