Unable to load know SID's for unauthenticated users

[Pedro Algarvio, aka, s0undt3ch <ufs@…>]

The procedure:
Go to the trac instance site, setup your preferences and then change the SID to a familiar name.

The problem:
When trying to load your preferences from the SID with the familiar name, I always get a random SID back and no preferences, although when browsing the DB I see that familiar name both on the session and session_attribute tables.

This is while running trac 0.11 r6107.

This is far from being a blocker issue!

For later.

Replying to cboos:

For later.

Sorry for the comment which won't solve anything, but for later?

Anonymous users are unable to get their saved settings and this ain't a major issue for .11 release?

[Christian Boos]

Ok, you're right, this would be something worth a look for 0.11 if this wouldn't work. But: now I just verified and for me it works (sharing the same cboos-session key between Firefox, Opera and IE7).

Not closing as worksforme because there could indeed be a problem related to your setup or way of using this.

Are you using mod_python? If yes:

• does the feature work like expected when you're using tracd? (that was my case)
• do you also experience similar issues than what is reported in #6121?

Ok, with tracd, after checking that I had no cookies related to this tracd server, it worked again, I was able to restore my session.

Under mod_python, after clearing the cookies, I was also able to get the session back.

Sorry for the waste of time.

Under mod_python, no, with authenticated sessions, I'm unable to reproduce the problem verified on #6121.
